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 Stoke?

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 Stoke?

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 Stoke wet rooms run 7–10 working days including tanking cure time, tiling and silicone.

Do you tidy up at the end of each day?

Yes — dust sheets stay down, the room is hoovered daily and we leave your Stoke home liveable while the work runs.

Can a wet-room be fitted upstairs in Stoke?

Yes — but the floor must be cut and packed so the former sits flush. In a Stoke 1930s semi we typically lose 25 – 40mm of headroom on the deck below to do it correctly.
