Wet Room Installation in Kimbolton

Wet rooms have become one of the more popular bathroom upgrades across Kimbolton in recent years — partly because the village has a high proportion of older residents wanting to stay in their period cottages as their needs change, and partly because the constrained upstairs bathrooms in Georgian and Victorian properties benefit from a layout rethink. 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 Kimbolton we get the most demand from two groups. Older residents in the High Street cottages and the surrounding villages of Stonely, Tilbrook, Catworth, Covington, and the Staughtons want step-free showers so they can stay in their own homes. And families in Kimbolton School staff accommodation or the larger Georgian properties want modern wet rooms in their en-suites for the look and the easier cleaning. Both need exactly the same thing technically — a watertight floor and walls, the right drain, and a fall that actually works.

Every Kimbolton wet room we fit gets the floor and at least 1.8m of wall tanked with a proper waterproof membrane, the falls set into the screed, and a linear drain wherever the layout allows. Then we tile, fit the screen and shower, and pressure-test everything before sign-off. For homes on Kimbolton's hard chalk water supply, we'll talk through limescale-resistant fittings and whether a softener is worth fitting at the same time.

Wet Room Components

Tanking and Waterproofing in Kimbolton

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 we don't cut corners on it.

Drainage in Kimbolton

Drainage

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

Tiling in Kimbolton

Tiling

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

Glass Screens in Kimbolton

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 in Kimbolton

Underfloor Heating

Electric underfloor heating mats under the wet room floor keep tiles warm and help the surface dry faster between uses. We lay the mat, test it, and tile over it with flexible adhesive. For installation of whole-house wet underfloor heating systems, see our central heating service.

Accessibility in Kimbolton

Accessibility

Level-access entry with no step or lip. Fold-down shower seats, grab rails, and thermostatic valves for safe, independent showering. We design accessible wet rooms that look stylish, not clinical.

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 we can cut a gradient directly. We survey 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. We use a full liquid tanking membrane that 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. We reinforce timber joists where needed and use a shallow former to create 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 we'd recommend 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. We ensure all our installations meet the relevant standards.
