Shower / Wet Room
A walk-in shower or wet room is the most popular bathroom upgrade — replacing an existing bath or creating a dedicated shower space that feels spacious, modern and practical. Wet rooms in particular require specialist waterproofing to ensure the floor and walls are fully tanked before any tiles are applied.
The choice between a shower tray enclosure, a wetroom former system, or a full wet room floor-to-wall system affects both cost and the required skill level. Getting 3 quotes from experienced bathroom fitters helps you understand the right approach for your space.
What affects the cost of Shower / Wet Room?
Prices vary between professionals depending on several factors. Getting 3 quotes gives you a clear picture of the market rate for your specific job.
- Bathroom size — square footage directly affects tiling area, flooring, and fitting time.
- Suite quality — budget, mid-range, and bespoke suites carry very different price points.
- Wet room vs standard — wet rooms need full waterproofing and a linear drain, adding to cost.
- Tiling — full-height tiling across multiple walls is more expensive than a partial tile run.
- Plumbing complexity — relocating a soil stack, bath, or shower significantly increases labour cost.
