Wet room conversions in Stockport
The bath comes out, the floor is tanked and falls to a drain, and you get a walk-in shower with no tray and no step. Done properly it never leaks.
DJB Plumbing & Heating converts bathrooms to wet rooms across Stockport. Elle B.'s review is a full bath to wet room conversion where Declan sourced the tiler, electrician and materials. A wet room typically takes seven to nine working days including tanking, tiling and drying time.
What a wet room conversion includes
- Bath removed and the floor stripped to the joists or screed
- A former or pre-sloped tray set into the floor so water falls to the drain
- Linear or centre drain plumbed to the existing waste
- Full tanking of the floor and walls before any tile goes on
- Shower valve and head set out for the person using it
- A fixed glass screen or a fully open layout
- Non-slip floor tile and an extractor fan
What happens on the visit
- I check the floor construction and the waste route. Timber floors in the terraces and semis around Stockport can take a wet room, but the former and the fall have to be right.
- The room is stripped, the floor built up and tanked, the plumbing first-fixed, then the tiler takes over, then I come back for the valve, screen and final seal.
- Every wet room is flood tested before the tiles go on and run again before I sign it off.
Wet rooms for accessibility
A level-access wet room is the usual answer where someone needs to stop climbing into a bath. I can fit grab rails, a fold-down seat and a thermostatic valve with a scald limit. Tell me what is needed and I will design the layout around it.
What it costs
Wet rooms are quoted in writing after a look at the floor. The quote itemises the floor work, tanking, tiling and electrics separately from the fittings and tiles, so you can see where the money goes. Full details on the pricing page.

Complete bathroom renovation from a bath to a wet room. Brilliant from start to finish, sourced a tiler, electrician and all materials to our specification. Nothing was too much trouble, and clean and tidy while at work. So pleased with the finished result.

Wet room conversions questions
Will a wet room leak?
Not if it is tanked properly and the fall to the drain is right. That is the whole job. Every wet room I do is flood tested before the tiles go on.
Can you do a wet room on a wooden floor?
Yes. Most Stockport houses have timber floors upstairs. The floor is stiffened, a former is set in, and the whole thing is tanked.
How long does it take?
Seven to nine working days including drying time for the tanking and the tiling. You will have a working toilet throughout.
