Wet rooms Glasgow, tanked properly the first time.
A wet room only works if it is genuinely waterproof. We match you with vetted Glasgow fitters who know tanking inside out, so the water goes where it should and nowhere else.
The honest version
A wet room is a fully waterproofed bathroom with a level access shower area, no tray and no enclosure. It looks calm and minimal, but it lives or dies on what is underneath the tiles.
Cutting corners on tanking is the single biggest reason wet rooms fail. We only match you with fitters in our Glasgow network who treat the waterproof membrane as the most important part of the job, not an afterthought.
The difference a checked tradesperson makes.
Waterproofing specialists
Our wet room fitters are specifically vetted on tanking work, not just general bathroom installs.
Full system, not patched together
Tanking membrane, primer, joint tape and tile adhesive used as a matched system, applied to the manufacturer's spec.
Correct falls to the drain
The floor is built up so water actively flows toward the drain. No puddles, no standing water.
Checked after the first wet test
Your fitter water tests the room before tiling. We follow up after handover to confirm it stayed dry.
A clear picture of the work, before it starts.
Every project is different, but a well run job tends to follow the same calm rhythm. Here is what to expect from a fitter we have matched you with.
- 01
Survey the substrate
Floor and wall construction is checked. Timber floors usually need overboarding, concrete needs priming.
- 02
Form the floor falls
A pre-formed tray former or sand and cement screed is built up so the floor slopes evenly to the drain.
- 03
Tank the wet zone
Walls and floor in the shower area, plus any splash zones, are sealed with a liquid or sheet tanking system.
- 04
Tile, grout and finish
Tiles laid over the cured membrane, grouted with the right product for wet use, then silicone movement joints.
Built around what suits your home.
Not sure which is right for you? Mention what you are thinking on the quote form, your fitter will talk it through honestly.
Full wet room
Whole bathroom is the wet zone, no shower enclosure at all. Best in larger or well ventilated spaces.
Wet zone with screen
Level access shower with a single fixed glass panel, the rest of the room kept drier. A popular middle ground.
Wet floor en suite
Compact en suite turned into a fully tanked space. Smart in small rooms where a tray would dominate.
Loft or attic wet room
Sloped ceilings and timber floors, with extra attention to membrane detail around eaves.
Underfloor heating
Electric mat under the tile, ideal for drying floors quickly and keeping the room comfortable.
Concealed drainage
Linear channel drains tucked against the wall, for a cleaner, almost invisible finish.
Anything else on your mind?
If your question is not here, add it to the quote form and your matched fitter will answer it directly.
Not if it is tanked correctly. A properly installed wet room with a full waterproof membrane, correct floor falls and the right grout and silicone is a sealed system. Failures almost always trace back to skipped or rushed tanking.
Yes. Our fitters overboard timber floors with the correct backer board, build in the falls and bond the tanking system to a stable, prepared substrate. It is more work than a ground floor concrete slab, but very achievable.
No. Many homeowners prefer a wet zone with a single glass screen, keeping the rest of the floor drier. Your matched fitter will talk through both and recommend what suits your space.
