Tanking: Making the Room Waterproof
A wet room needs the whole floor and the walls around the shower covered in a waterproof layer, called tanking. Tiles go on top, but the layer underneath keeps water from getting into the structure.

Tiles and grout fixed on top
A Floor That Falls to the Drain
Water must run to the drain, so the floor needs a gentle fall. On a concrete floor this can be cut into a screed. On a timber floor, we may use pre-formed boards. We choose by your floor.

Floors, Drains and Building Standards
A wet-floor shower room can be treated differently from an ordinary bathroom under Scottish building rules. We check with your council before we plan it, and tell you what is needed.

Storage and Fixtures That Cope With Water
Everything in a wet room gets wet. Pick things that can: an alcove niche, a wall-hung toilet and a mirror cabinet away from the spray.

A wet room suits some houses better than others.

Upstairs bathrooms Timber floors need preformed boards or a stiffened floor.
Tenement flats Shared stack and neighbours below. We take extra care with waterproofing.
Ex-council semis Larger bathrooms can take a wet room and keep room for the toilet.

Wet Room Questions, Answered
Call nowWhat is a wet room?
A wet room has a fully waterproofed floor and walls and a floor that slopes to a drain. There is usually no shower tray, and a screen is often a single glass panel.
What is tanking?
It is a waterproof layer put on the floor and walls before tiling. Without it, water can get into the building structure.
Can you put a wet room upstairs?
Often yes. We check the floor, use boards that can slope, and plan the drain route first.
Do I need a building warrant in Scotland?
Wet-floor shower rooms can be treated differently from ordinary bathrooms for building warrant purposes. We check with your council before we start.
Will a wet room add value?
We cannot promise a sale price. A wet room is useful if you want easy cleaning or a level floor for the long term.
Is a wet room slippery?
Not if the floor tiles are chosen for grip. We pick a slip-resistant finish for the shower area.
