As your friendly team of County Durham wet room installers, we here at Bathroom Crew know a thing or two about pleasing our customers and giving them a wet room that works for them.
However, if you don't know the ins and outs of wet room installations, then it can feel a little daunting.
But don't worry, we are a team of wet room fitters with a vast array of experience, and below we can talk you through our wet room installation process and County Durham services so you know what to expect when working with us!
Below, we'll share some of the details of how we typically carry out the wet room installation process in County Durham homes. As wetroom specialists, we follow a very similar procedure for each job because it's tried and tested.
But it's also important to remember that we offer a completely bespoke service that suits the client. Whilst what we share below is commonly how we work, there will be some differences from job to job.
First, we start with an initial consultation. Here is where we learn about you and discuss the space we're working with.
A wet room can sometimes need a lot of space, especially if you require it because of accessibility issues.
During this initial chat, we will be able to talk a little about cost, special requirements, and the type of finish you're looking for.
Next, we'll talk about the design of your wet room. This is where things really start to come together.
Of course, the main point of a wet room is that there is no bath or shower area (because a shower tray or bath could prove difficult for accessibility), so whilst the layout might not be important, you will need to think carefully about the tiles you pick out, and the overall completed look of the space.
Every stylish detail is picked out by you with the help of our team, should you need additional advice.
Once all materials have been picked out and you know which tiles you want for the tiled floor, walls, and ceiling, we can plan practical drainage for the space. We will source and supply all the materials for the job, so we will be able to provide advice and help you create a wet room that works for you and any additional needs you might have.
During installation, our wet room installers will need to remove your existing flooring in order to waterproof the room. If you want a new toilet and shower installation, then our wetroom specialists will remove the old ones safely before plumbing in new ones as part of the installation process. This may take longer if they're moving to new locations.
Depending on your needs, our wet room installers may carry out different tasks here. For example, a wet room for someone with mobility issues may look a little different from someone who simply wants a wet room for convenience.
Our wet rooms are all designed to suit the individual, so we'll be able to discuss the best options for you when you start working with us.
Transform Your Bathroom with Bathroom Crew - Safe, Accessible, and Beautiful.
Installing wet rooms isn't all we do. Maybe you just need a more accessible shower or you want baths to be removed to make hygiene a little easier for you as you get older. Whatever the case, here are some of the wet room specific services we offer.
Please note: You can click the links below to find out more detail about each service on our dedicated service page for each feature we discuss.
Sometimes a wet room isn't appropriate, especially if you're hoping to turn smaller bathrooms into wet rooms because in a cramped area (very common in London bathrooms) wet rooms are complicated.
However, you can still create an accessible shower by using a level access one. Here, there is a separate shower area, but it's on one level, so it's very easy to access and the plumbing and drainage works just like regular showers.
If you think this would suit you, search for more information about level access shower installation by clicking the link provided.
Walk-ins work a little differently to level access because there is a shower tray here, which might mean you have to step up a small step to access it.
This would therefore be inappropriate for those with mobility issues, but they are great for those who don't want to risk water getting everywhere when they use their showers.
Simple walk-in showers might be all you need to create a cost effective option for you that has the same quality finish as a wet room, but creates a separate location for showering.
When creating walk-in showers for the elderly, we always encourage our customers to think carefully about what they need now, and what they may need in the future. Hand rails either side of the step are great, for example, but a grip floor mat may also be necessary to prevent slips just outside the walk in, etc.
To save time and money down the line, we always encourage our clients to think about the future when creating a new bathroom or wet room, so they don't have to redo it and increase the cost unnecessarily later.
Wet rooms for people with a disability need a little extra thought and planning. That's because the floor area will need to be larger, so there's more space to move around. If a wheelchair needs to be able to access the room, this is especially important.
We can also help pick out accessible toilet and sink options in the wet room, too, helping give you a better quality of life and easier access to your wet room.
