Disabled Wet Rooms

As little as 3 days from start to finish. We strive to be efficient and we are able to do things quickly because we do not have to wait on external contractors such as plumbers or electricians, which can slow the process down.

Since each disabled wet room that we fit is unique, the duration of the installation may differ depending on factors such as the size and style of your bathroom, as well as any individual features which you may have chosen to be included. Due to high demand there is typically a waiting time of a few weeks from your initial enquiry. The earlier you enquire, the sooner we can start fitting your disabled wet room!

As each disabled wet room that we install is unique, we will provide you with a free, no obligation consultation and quote specific to your requirements. We can tailor the products to meet your budget, and our costs do not need to cover subcontractors so our quotes frequently beat those of our main competitors.

Along with your quote we can provide a 3D virtual drawing of how your disabled wet room will look, so you can see exactly what you are getting for your money. For many, having a disabled wet room is a way to extend their years in their own home and is a small investment when compared to the costs of moving into a care home.

Yes! Our disabled wet rooms are designed specifically with wheelchair users in mind. They offer completely unrestricted access to all areas of the bathroom including the shower area, allowing the user to enter and exit unassisted. With a disabled wet room, the walls and floor are completely waterproof, making the room easy to keep clean and maintain.

All of the water is directed towards the draining point, which is known as gravity draining. Along with the waterproof floors and walls, this means that you don’t need to worry about any leaking or getting any areas of the bathroom wet.

Planning permission isn’t normally needed for a disabled wet room in an established home. However if you are looking to install a disabled wet room in a new build house you will have to apply for building regulations approval. If the latter applies to you, it’s important to read up on guidelines following along with The Building Regulations Act 2010.

If you are making significant structural changes to your house in order to install a disabled wet room, such as an extention or additional drainage, you are required to consult a buildings regulation officer.

There are many benefits of installing a disabled wet room in your home. Accessibility for some people is key, in order to minimise the risk of slips or falls wet rooms reduce floor level obstacles such as shower ledges. Disabled wet rooms are also highly supportive, with assistance poles and grab rails as two of many additions we include, we ensure our customers experience an increased feeling of safety and security.
