Wet Rooms

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.

The floor and at least 1.8m up the walls are tanked with a proper waterproof membrane, the falls are set into the screed, and linear drains are used where the layout allows. Then the tiling, screen, and shower go in, and everything is pressure-tested before sign-off. For homes on Cambourne's hard chalk water supply, a vetted fitter will talk through limescale-resistant fittings and whether a softener is worth fitting at the same time.

What's Involved

Wet Room Components

Tanking & Waterproofing

Full liquid membrane across the floor and up the walls to at least 1.2m. Reinforcing tape at every joint, corner, and pipe penetration. This is the most critical part of any wet room and no corners get cut on it.

Drainage

Linear drains and point drains installed into the floor with a precise gradient so water flows to the drain without pooling. The fall is calculated to BS EN standards — typically 1:80 for comfortable use.

Tiling

Walls and floor tiled as part of the wet room build. Waterproof adhesive and flexible grout rated for constant water exposure are used throughout. For standalone tiling projects, see our bathroom tiling service.

Glass Screens

Frameless glass panels and walk-in screens that define the shower zone without closing it off. Fixed panels, hinged screens, and full enclosures — fitted to tiles or walls with concealed fixings.

Underfloor Heating

Electric underfloor heating mats under the wet room floor keep tiles warm and help the surface dry faster between uses. The mat is laid, tested, and tiled over with flexible adhesive. For installation of whole-house wet underfloor heating systems, see our central heating service.

Accessibility

Level-access entry with no step or lip. Fold-down shower seats, grab rails, and thermostatic valves for safe, independent showering. Accessible wet rooms are designed to look stylish, not clinical.

FAQ

Wet Room Questions

Most bathrooms can be converted, but the floor construction matters. Timber floors need additional strengthening and a shallow former to create the fall. Concrete floors are simpler, as a gradient can be cut directly. A vetted local fitter surveys every property before quoting to check what's involved.

Typically 5–7 working days from strip-out to completion. That includes tanking, floor preparation, plumbing, tiling, and fitting the screen. Larger or more complex wet rooms may take up to 10 days.

Not if it's tanked properly. A full liquid tanking membrane waterproofs the entire floor and walls to at least 1.2 metres. Every joint, corner, and pipe penetration is sealed with tape and additional membrane layers. Done right, a wet room is as watertight as a swimming pool.

Yes. Upstairs wet rooms need extra attention to the floor structure to support the weight and ensure the gradient drains correctly. Timber joists are reinforced where needed and a shallow former creates the fall without lowering the ceiling below.

A well-built wet room can add significant value to your home, especially as an en-suite or second bathroom. Wet rooms are popular with buyers and the return depends on the finish and location in the house.

Absolutely — and it's well worth it. Electric underfloor heating goes under the tiles and keeps the floor warm and dry between uses. It adds to the project cost — see our pricing for current rates.

Wet rooms don't typically require planning permission, but they do fall under building regulations for drainage, waterproofing, and structural loading. Every installation is carried out to meet the relevant standards.
