Wetroom installation in Bromley
Fully tanked, level-access wetrooms — designed and built to not leak, with the paperwork to prove it.
Bromley's 1930s semis take wetrooms well — the upstairs joists are deeper than Victorian stock and the bathroom sits over the hallway, so a leak-free formed floor is straightforward engineering. The bigger Bromley consideration is pressure: an open wetroom with a rainfall head needs flow that a gravity system cannot give, so the wetroom conversation here almost always includes an unvented cylinder upgrade. In the chalet bungalows of Petts Wood the downstairs bathroom is often concrete-floored, which makes a level-access wetroom simpler still.
The houses we see in Bromley
The core is 1930s semi-detached — bay fronts, mock-Tudor gables, a family bathroom over the hall and a separate WC beside it. Petts Wood and West Wickham add chalet bungalows with bathrooms downstairs and loft rooms above. Bickley and Shortlands have larger Victorian and Edwardian villas, often with two or three bathrooms already. Beckenham mixes Victorian terraces with mansion flats. What almost all of it shares: original gravity hot-water systems in various states of replacement, and lofts that have either been converted or are about to be.
What wetrooms involves
A wetroom in south London costs £7,000–£12,000 excluding VAT and takes two to three weeks. The price gap versus a normal bathroom is the structural work: the floor is opened up to form falls to a drain, and the entire room is tanked — and on the suspended timber floors most south London houses have, that structural stage is what decides whether a wetroom leaks.
This is for you if
- You want a walk-in, screen-free shower with no tray and no step
- The household needs level access now or will in the coming years
- A small or awkward room where a tray and enclosure waste the space
- You have seen wetroom horror stories and want it done properly once
- A loft or basement room where a conventional enclosure will not fit
- You want the whole-room tiled look
What's included
- Floor structure opened and rebuilt with formed falls to a linear drain
- Full-room tanking membrane — floor and walls, not just the shower corner
- Flood test before tiling: we prove it holds water before covering it up
- Large-format tiling with movement joints where the substrate needs them
- Concealed shower valve, fixed head and glass where the design wants it
- Underfloor heating option while the floor is already open
