Right then, let’s talk about wet rooms and steam rooms – they’re all the rage in Leicester these days, and for good reason.

I’ll level with you – when I first started fitting bathrooms 15 years ago, wet rooms were seen as this fancy thing only posh hotels had. Now? We’re fitting them left, right and centre in normal Leicester homes. And steam rooms? They’re not just for spas anymore.

Why Go for a Wet Room?

Let me tell you about Dave from Clarendon Park. He called me up, bit unsure about the whole wet room idea. Kept saying his bathroom was too small, wouldn’t work, all that. Well, we transformed his poky bathroom into this stunning wet room that looks massive. Now he shows it off to everyone who visits!

The beauty of wet rooms is they work in almost any space. We’ve fitted them in everything from tiny en-suites to massive family bathrooms. They’re properly waterproofed from floor to ceiling, so you can splash about as much as you like.

Here’s what makes wet rooms so brilliant: They’re dead easy to clean – no shower tray to scrub around Perfect if you’ve got mobility issues – no step to get over Make your bathroom feel twice the size Add serious value to your house

Steam Rooms – Your Own Home Spa

Now, steam rooms – that’s where things get really interesting. Had a client in Stoneygate last month, stressed-out solicitor type. We fitted him a steam room and he reckons it’s changed his life. Uses it every morning before work, says it’s better than his morning coffee!

But here’s the thing about steam rooms – they’re proper technical to install. You need someone who knows what they’re doing. I’ve seen some right disasters where people have tried to DIY it or used a cowboy builder.

Getting a steam room right is all about:

Proper sealing – steam gets everywhere if you’re not careful

Ventilation – you need it for when you’re done steaming

The right gradient on the floor so water runs away

Choosing materials that can handle the heat and moisture

What’s Involved in Fitting?

Whether you’re going for a wet room or a steam room, there’s quite a bit involved. But don’t worry, we handle the lot.

First off, we’ll come round and have a proper look at your space. We’ll talk through what you’re after, what’s possible, and what might need tweaking. I’m always straight up – if something won’t work, I’ll tell you.

The actual fitting usually takes about 7-10 days. Yeah, it’s a bit of disruption, but trust me, it’s worth it. We start by stripping everything out, then it’s all about getting the waterproofing spot on. That’s the crucial bit – get that wrong and you’re in for a world of trouble down the line.

A Bit About Cost

Now, I know what you’re thinking – this all sounds expensive. Well, I won’t fib – it’s not cheap. But it’s an investment in your home. A properly fitted wet room or steam room will last years and add value to your property.We can work with different budgets though. Sometimes it’s about choosing different tiles or fittings to keep costs down while still getting that luxury feel.

What Our Leicester Customers Say

The best part of my job? Seeing people’s faces when we’ve finished. Had a lady in Oadby actually cry when she saw her new wet room – happy tears, mind! She’d been struggling with a shower over the bath for years because of her arthritis. Now she’s got this gorgeous, accessible wet room that makes her feel like she’s in a posh hotel.
