Wet Rooms Are Beautiful, but Complex

I think ive said before that a wet room, the type of shower room where there is no bath and no shower tray, but the floor and drainage from the fitted showers are all on the same level, whilst a beautiful and somewhat luxurious addition to your home that can add value, can be somewhat difficult to undertake as a diy project. It is not impossible however, you just need to plan and take care of all the small details with great precision.

Buying the right products, learning or buying in the right expertise need to fit specialist equipment or surfaces should be the priority. The floor tanking (technical term for making the whole room watertight) is the most important part of building a wet room, as this ensures no water leaks occur.

There are many different solutions available for wet room floors, but consider the pro’s and cons of each before coming to a final decision on what wet room flooring option you should use.
Other considerations are of course things like underfloor heating, fixtures and fittings, things like the toilet and sink and lighting and also what type of shower fittings to use in your room.

Make the most of the space you have!

The Dream

Building a dream bathroom

William Palin finds that his bathroom is a source of great envy

I am told that people fantasise about my bathroom. This is nice, of course, but I am afraid I cannot claim any credit. The present room, with its large bathtub at the centre, and working fireplace, owes its inspiration to the previous, brave occupants of this old London town house. Understandably, as a young couple with a baby, contending with the horrors of a dilapidated, unmodernised house, they sought solace in assembling a romantic watery retreat.

It was a great piece of theatre, and when I first toured the house, I remember my amazement at finding this decadent steam-filled sanctuary at the top of a broken staircase. The room displayed a faded elegance which I vowed to retain. The bath itself had been retrieved from a skip on Brick Lane (together with the eccentric cast-iron Victorian fireplace) and there was a notable absence of marble and polished chrome.

When I restored the house, I moved the bathroom to the floor above—all achieved with the help of an ingenious architect. The Georgians did not have bathrooms, of course (just the odd cold-water plunge pool), so in this instance. I did not have to worry about doing things 'correctly' in a historical sense.

However, I wanted to allow the room to display its simple proportions and to not disguise its few surviving features. The bath, as before, was placed in the centre of the room with the ceiling below lowered two inches to allow room for the fall of the drainage pipe. The tub was re-enamelled on site and the underside painted with a red primer which I took a fancy to and kept.

How would these look in your Kitchen?

Wetrooms

Wet room waterproofing or 'tanking' fully seals the wet room area prior to tiling, containing any water that seeps between tiles and allowing it to drain down towards the floor drain. Wet rooms are normally thought of as shower areas, but many bathrooms, kitchens or toilet areas can also be treated in the same way.
