Wet Room Installation in Leighton Buzzard
A wet room is a fully waterproofed bathroom with a level-access shower area and no tray or step. Done well, it makes a small bathroom feel larger and is easier to use and clean. Done badly, it leaks. At Venus, we design, plumb, waterproof, tile and finish wet rooms from our base in Stanbridge, just outside Leighton Buzzard.
What goes into a proper wet room
The waterproofing is what matters most. We tank the walls and floor with a proper waterproofing system, form the floor to fall towards the drain, and only then tile. Cutting corners here is what causes problems years later.
Our team handles the plumbing, drainage, tanking, tiling and finishing, so you deal with one company rather than coordinating several trades.
Is a wet room right for your home?
Wet rooms work well in small bathrooms, ensuites, loft conversions and for anyone who wants level access. Floor construction matters: timber floors usually need a stiffened, waterproofed base, while concrete floors may need the floor build-up or drain position considered. We assess this at the survey so there are no surprises.
Visit our bathroom showroom in Stanbridge to see shower enclosures, screens and tiles in person.
How much does a wet room cost?
Every wet room is different, so we quote after seeing the space. Size, floor type, drainage, tiling choice and fittings all change the price. Use our bathroom cost calculator for a guide, or request a free quote and we will give you a clear, itemised price.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you fit a wet room in a small bathroom?
Yes. Small bathrooms and ensuites often benefit most, because removing the tray and using a glass screen opens the space up.
Can a wet room go on an upstairs timber floor?
Usually yes, with the right preparation. The floor is stiffened and waterproofed before tiling. We check this during the survey.
How long does a wet room installation take?
Most take around one to two weeks depending on size and tiling, and we give you a clear timeline when we quote.
Do you cover the plumbing and tiling as well?
Yes. We manage the whole project: strip out, plumbing, waterproofing, tiling, fitting and finishing.
