Fully tanked wet rooms with proper falls to the drain, non-slip finishes and level-access options: watertight, walk-in, and built to last.
The whole floor and lower walls tanked and waterproofed: a wet room stands or falls on this.
The floor formed with the right gradient so water always runs to the drain, never pools.
Slip-resistant floor tiles and finishes so the walk-in shower is safe wet.
Step-free, walk-in wet rooms: ideal for accessibility and a clean modern look.
A concrete ground floor takes a wet room simply. Upstairs, the floor is checked, stiffened and fitted with a proper former before any tanking goes on.
Where a wet room is for someone with a disability, Tamworth Borough Council may help through a Disabled Facilities Grant after an assessment.
Two things: tanking the whole area, and forming the floor with proper falls so water always reaches the drain. We do both, it is the core of the job.
Yes: walk-in, step-free wet rooms are one of our most-requested jobs, great for accessibility and a sleek finish.
Not if it is tanked and drained properly, which is exactly what we build in. Cutting corners here is what causes leaks. We do not.
Yes. The floor is checked for strength and stiffened if needed, and a former is fitted between the joists so the fall to the drain is built in. Chipboard is replaced in the shower area first, because it does not tolerate water.
There can be. Tamworth Borough Council handles Disabled Facilities Grants for adaptations such as level-access showers, usually after an occupational therapist has assessed what is needed. It is worth contacting the council before booking any work.
Usually a week to ten days. The tanking and screed have to cure before tiling, and the whole area is water-tested before the first tile goes down.
A wet room is the hardest thing a tiler does, because it has no tray to hide behind: the whole floor is the shower, and it all has to drain and stay dry. We form the falls to the drain, tank the entire area, and tile it with a non-slip finish so it is safe underfoot. Get any of that wrong and it leaks into the room below; get it right and it is the best shower in the house.
Tamworth bungalows and ground-floor flats suit a wet room well, because a concrete floor lets the fall be formed without touching any joists. Upstairs on a timber or chipboard floor it is still possible, but the floor has to be stiffened and a former fitted between the joists first.
