Wet Room Conversion in Tunstall
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 Tunstall 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.
What makes bathroom fitting in Tunstall different from a generic install is how we plan around the building it's going into.

Wet Room Conversion FAQs — Tunstall
- Can any Tunstall 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 Tunstall conversion.
- Is a screen ever fitted?
- Optional — a fixed glass panel keeps spray off the WC on many Tunstall 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 Tunstall?
- £7,500–£13,500 typically for a full conversion including formed floor, tanking, linear drain, tile, WC and vanity. Fixed after survey.
- How quickly can you start a job in Tunstall?
- Lead time is usually two to five weeks from a confirmed quote, depending on the spec and our current schedule across the Staffordshire side.
- Do you tidy up at the end of each day?
- Yes — dust sheets stay down, the room is hoovered daily and we leave your Tunstall home liveable while the work runs.

Where {town} wet rooms fail
Homeowners converting a bathroom into a fully tanked wet room in Tunstall hit a recurring set of issues with wet room conversion:
Wet rooms 'tanked' with paint-only systems and no primer — flagged regularly on Tunstall jobs.
Trays hidden under tile instead of a properly formed floor — flagged regularly on Tunstall jobs.
Linear drains sunk with mortar 'falls' instead of pre-fall boards — flagged regularly on Tunstall jobs.
A frequent find on Tunstall strip outs: hidden lead pipework that needs swapping during first-fix.
Old cast-iron waste runs that throttle drainage on a new shower. We see it often enough in Tunstall to plan for it.
