Wet Room Installation in Glasgow
A wet room is a waterproofing job with tiling on top, not a tiling job that happens to get wet. Get the tanking or the floor fall wrong and it shows up as a stain on the ceiling below, usually months later. Mo and Kyle build them the slow way, which is the only way they stay dry.

What Happens When You Call
1
Survey the floor before anything else
Joists or concrete, how much depth there is to work with, where the existing waste runs. This is the visit that decides whether a wet room is right for the room at all.
2
Strip out and prepare
Old suite out, floor built up or cut to accept the former and the fall. Where the structure throws up a surprise we stop and talk to you rather than pressing on.
3
Tank it, then let it cure
Full membrane to floor and walls, taped at every joint and corner. This is the part that keeps the water in the room and it gets the time it needs.
4
Tile, fit and hand over
Tiling, thermostatic shower, screen and seals. We run it properly before we leave and check the water goes where it is meant to rather than trusting the design on paper.

- 12-month guarantee on our workmanship
Every wet room, fixed price after survey, workmanship guaranteed for 12 months.
Wet Rooms in Glasgow Properties
Tenement flats are the most common request and the most variable in practice. The bathroom in a Glasgow tenement is frequently a converted scullery or a space carved out of a larger room, which means the joists run whichever way the original building wanted rather than whichever way suits a drain. Where there is depth to build the fall in, they work very well. Where there is not, we say so rather than cutting into structure to make a design fit.
Southside and West End family homes and bungalows are where accessibility drives most of the work, often a bathroom being reworked so someone can keep living independently in a house they have been in for decades. These jobs benefit from planning the grab rails, the seat and the screen position at the start, because all three want proper fixings behind the tiling rather than being added afterwards.
Newer flats and conversions around the city centre and Newton Mearns tend to be the most straightforward, usually concrete floors or engineered structures with more predictable depth and drainage already close to where you would want it. These are the ones that come in nearer the week rather than running into a second one.
The one pattern worth flagging across all of them is upstairs installations. There is nothing wrong with a wet room on an upper floor, most of ours are, but it raises the cost of getting the tanking wrong from an inconvenience to a ceiling repair in the room below. That is the reason we do not compress the curing time to hit a date.
Who You'll Get
Mo and Kyle handle wet rooms between them, with Kyle doing most of the drainage side and Mo on the plumbing and the finish. The reason we survey the floor before quoting is that a wet room is one of the few bathroom jobs where the building genuinely gets a veto, and finding that out halfway through a strip-out helps nobody. Twenty-five years of Glasgow bathrooms means we have seen enough former sculleries and awkward joist runs to know quite quickly which rooms will take one and which will not.
What Else Often Comes Up
Wet rooms tend to surface two things that were already there. Slow drainage is the first, because a room that drained acceptably through a bath waste can struggle once it is taking a full shower flow, so if the existing waste has been sluggish it is worth saying at survey rather than discovering it at commissioning. Extraction is the second, and it matters more here than in a conventional bathroom because there is more exposed wet surface drying into the room. An underpowered fan, or one venting into a loft rather than outside, turns into damp on the ceiling within a winter. We check both as part of the survey and quote them honestly rather than leaving you to find out.
Pricing, In Plain Terms
We survey first and give you a fixed price before anything starts. That price is what goes on the invoice. The two things that genuinely move the cost are the floor and the drainage, not the finish. A ground-floor room sitting over concrete with the existing waste close to where the drain wants to go is the straightforward end. An upstairs tenement room where the floor has to be built up to get a fall, or where the waste has to travel to reach an existing stack, is more work and we will show you exactly why at the survey. Tiles and fittings sit on top of that as your choice, and we are happy to fit supplied materials if you would rather buy them yourself.
Wet Room or a Low-Profile Shower Tray?
A wet room is the better answer where accessibility genuinely matters, or where the room is an awkward shape that a rectangular tray fights against. It is not automatically the better answer everywhere else. A modern low-profile tray sits almost flush, costs meaningfully less, is quicker to install and puts the waterproofing risk inside a manufactured unit rather than relying entirely on the tanking. Where the floor structure makes a proper fall difficult, which is a lot of tenement flats, the tray is often the more honest recommendation even though it is the smaller job for us. We will tell you which way your specific room points rather than defaulting to the bigger sale.

Wet Room Questions
Not when the tanking is done properly. Nearly every leaking wet room we get called to was tanked partially or not at all, with the waterproofing treated as an optional extra rather than the actual structure of the job. Tiles and grout are not waterproof, they are a wearing surface. What keeps the water in the room is the membrane underneath.

“Our radiator pipe was bent and leaking. They answered straight away… Guy was here an hour later and he was wearing ID, very professional, patient and kind. We just got a new carpet in this room and he done an amazing job on getting little to no water on it. Couldn't recommend enough, price was reasonable.”

“We lost heating just in time for the coldest day of the year with a baby in the house… When I contacted them they were ready to dispatch that night. Fixed by the afternoon. Quoted that morning and no extra charges were added. Honestly cannot thank them enough.”

“As a small business owner, I needed a drainage company that could respond quickly. The team attended first thing in the morning, cleared the blocked drain and carried out a full CCTV survey. All documentation emailed across promptly. Professional, efficient and great value for money.”
