Wet Room Installation in Cambourne
Wet rooms have become one of the most popular bathroom upgrades across Cambourne in recent years — both as a modern luxury finish in the newer Cambourne West plots and as a step-free accessibility solution for the older period cottages out in Bourn and Elsworth. Done properly, a wet room lasts decades without leaking or staining; done badly it ruins the room below within a year. The difference is entirely in the tanking and the falls.
Around Cambourne we get steady demand from two very different groups. Young families on the newer Cambourne West and Upper Cambourne plots want wet rooms in their en-suites for the modern look and the easier cleaning. Older residents in the surrounding villages of Bourn, Elsworth, Caxton, and Eltisley are usually after accessibility — a step-free shower so they can stay in their period cottage as their needs change. Both need exactly the same thing technically: a watertight floor and walls, the right drain, and a fall that actually works.
We tank the floor and at least 1.8m up the walls with a proper waterproof membrane, set the falls into the screed, and use linear drains where the layout allows. Then we tile, fit the screen and shower, and pressure-test everything before sign-off. For homes on Cambourne's hard chalk water supply, we'll talk through limescale-resistant fittings and whether a softener is worth fitting at the same time.
