Accessible Wet Room Installation FAQs — Hanley
- What's the difference between a wet room and a shower room?
- A wet room has a fully tanked, falls-graded floor with no tray — the whole floor is the drainage zone. A shower room uses a separate tray inside a cubicle.
- Are wet rooms safe for older users in Hanley?
- When fitted to spec, yes. We use R10/R11 slip-rated tile or sheet vinyl with welded seams, plus grab rails where requested. Level access removes the trip hazard of a tray lip.
- Can I claim a wet room on a DFG in Hanley?
- Possibly — DFGs are administered by Stoke-on-Trent City Council or Staffordshire authorities. We'll work to whatever spec the OT or grant requires.
- How long does a wet room install take?
- Most Hanley wet rooms run 7–10 working days including tanking cure time, tiling and silicone.
- Do you provide a fixed-price quote before starting?
- Always. After a free home visit in Hanley we send a fully itemised, fixed-price quotation — no surprises on invoice day.
- Are you fully insured for work in Hanley?
- Yes — we hold full public liability cover and every job in Hanley comes with a written workmanship guarantee.
