Wet Room Conversion in Longton
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 Longton 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.
When Longton homeowners ask us about bathroom fitting, the first thing we look at is the room itself.

Where {town} wet rooms fail
Homeowners converting a bathroom into a fully tanked wet room in Longton hit a recurring set of issues with wet room conversion:
Wet rooms 'tanked' with paint-only systems and no primer — flagged regularly on Longton jobs.
Trays hidden under tile instead of a properly formed floor — flagged regularly on Longton jobs.
Linear drains sunk with mortar 'falls' instead of pre-fall boards — flagged regularly on Longton jobs.
Longton: original lath-and-plaster walls that flex under modern tile weight.
Around Longton this shows up as layouts that waste a tiny footprint — door swings, basin position, awkward stud walls.

Wet Room Conversion FAQs — Longton
- Can any Longton 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 Longton conversion.
- Is a screen ever fitted?
- Optional — a fixed glass panel keeps spray off the WC on many Longton 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 Longton?
- £7,500–£13,500 typically for a full conversion including formed floor, tanking, linear drain, tile, WC and vanity. Fixed after survey.
- How long does a full bathroom in Longton typically take?
- A standard family bathroom in Longton is usually 7 – 12 working days from strip-out to handover, depending on tiling area and structural changes.
- Are you fully insured for work in Longton?
- Yes — we hold full public liability cover and every job in Longton comes with a written workmanship guarantee.
