Wet Room Conversion in Burslem
Full bathroom installations, project-managed by one local team.
A wet room is a bathroom with no line between shower and floor — one waterproofed surface, one drain, no tray, no screen. In a Burslem property it usually goes into a smaller room where a shower-cubicle-plus-bath layout has always felt cramped.
We form the floor with pre-fall boards, tank the entire room with a sheet membrane, run the drain to a proper gravity waste, and finish in R11 tile. No corners cut on the waterproofing — the tanking is what stops a leak eating the ceiling below.
We've fitted bathroom fitting in Burslem long enough to know the houses inside out.

Wet Room Conversion FAQs — Burslem
- Can any Burslem room become a wet room?
- Most can — timber floors need decoupling and often joist strengthening, concrete slabs are ideal. We survey the floor before quoting on any Burslem conversion.
- Is a screen ever fitted?
- Optional — a fixed glass panel keeps spray off the WC on many Burslem layouts. Full open wet rooms without a panel work best in rooms over 3m long.
- How long does a wet room conversion take?
- 10–14 working days end to end: strip, form, tank (with cure time), tile, second-fix. Slower than a bathroom refit because tanking has to cure properly.
- How much does a wet room cost in Burslem?
- £7,500–£13,500 typically for a full conversion including formed floor, tanking, linear drain, tile, WC and vanity. Fixed after survey.
- Do you provide a fixed-price quote before starting?
- Always. After a free home visit in Burslem we send a fully itemised, fixed-price quotation — no surprises on invoice day.
- Can you fit a bathroom in a Victorian terrace without losing too much space?
- Yes — much of our work in Burslem is in narrow Victorian terraces. We typically reset the door swing, move the basin onto a wall-hung run and recess the WC cistern to free up usable floor.
