Fully tanked, level-access wet rooms for accessibility or premium spec.
An accessible wet room is the right call for a lot of Trentham households planning to stay put long-term. Done properly, it's the bathroom you don't have to think about as mobility changes.

Accessible Wet Room Installation FAQs — Trentham
- 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 Trentham?
- 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 Trentham?
- 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 Trentham wet rooms run 7–10 working days including tanking cure time, tiling and silicone.
- Is a wet-room safe over a habitable room?
- Yes if tanked properly to BS 5385-4. We membrane every joint and turn it up the walls before tiling, so an upstairs wet-room in a Trentham home doesn't risk the ceiling below.
- Can a wet-room be fitted upstairs in Trentham?
- Yes — but the floor must be cut and packed so the former sits flush. In a Trentham 1930s semi we typically lose 25 – 40mm of headroom on the deck below to do it correctly.
