Mobility Wet Rooms. These wet rooms are very much like our standard wet rooms but they have been designed and built for people unable to use a conventional bath. These wet rooms or walk in showers are our speciality. If you still like a bath but find it difficult to get into. Consider having it lower. So the floor of the bath is at the same level as the floor of the room. (Depending on pipe work for waste). The bath side is not very high then and it is not difficult to step over. The main difficulty with getting into a normal bath is the difference in levels, not the height of the bath side.

Mr Last's Wet Room. This was a separate bathroom and WC which made the bath area very small. The bath was only 1600 mm long. Finding it increasingly difficult to use the bath, they wanted a shower. So we suggested a wet room. The wall was removed and one of the doors was boarded and plastered. The floor was sloped into a gully, sheeted with ply and that covered with Altro marine non slip. All pipe work was buried and a semi pedestal fitted to give a clear floor area. The walls tiled with a white ripple tile with a blue border.

Bathroom to a wet room.. This was a slightly larger than average bathroom. So it does make a spacious wet room. We removed the bath, Plumbed in the shower and laid in a shower drain gully.We also fitted a corner basin vanity to give even more feel of space. We fully tiled the walls in a light beige of Mrs Parks choice. Then tiled the floor with a matching floor tile. Grab handles and a fold down seat were also fitted.

Rose and Crown Hotel in Colchester. The Rose and Crown Hotel in Colchester is the oldest hotel in the town. It originated as a coaching inn. They needed to have disabled facilities available. So they asked us to convert one of their bathroom into a wet room. First we took out the bath, hand basin and WC. Then we striped off all the tiles and broke up the concrete floor. It actually looks worse than it is. But the floor has to be re laid to give it a slight slope into the gully which also has to be piped into the soil drain. All pipe work was buried and a semi pedestal fitted to give a clear floor area. The walls were tiled with beige and brown tiles which gave it a nice soft warm feel. A fold up seat was bolted to the wall so the shower could be used by all customers. Grab handles were also bolted to the walls. A towel rail radiator was also fitted.

Bathroom to Wet Room. This was an ordinary bathroom in a bungalow.We removed the bath, dug up the concrete floor and fitted a shower gully. We fully tiled the walls, fitted a folding shower seat and some grab handles. Mr Mitchell was very pleased and was quite surprised at how much more room he had.

Building a wet room. This was a small downstairs room that already had a shower cubicle and WC in it. The cubicle was too clumber some for an elderly person and left no room to move. We began by stripping the room. Chased in the pipe for the cistern. Then we cut a channel in the floor, cut through the wall below the damp course for the shower and basin waste.

The pipe work for the new basin was moved. We then put a cement screed over the floor sloping into the waste. You can just see the shower waste in the floor
The floor was then covered with non slip Altro marine vinyl flooring.
It was then tiled and a vanity unit fitted. A fold down seat was bolted to the wall under the shower and then the WC was fitted.
