Wet rooms in Stockton-on-Tees
Wet room installation across Stockton's TS16 to TS20 postcodes: full installations £5,500 to £11,000, walk-in showers £2,500 to £5,500, mobility wet rooms £4,000 to £8,000. From the Hartburn and Fairfield semis to the terraces around the town centre and Norton's period streets.
Hartburn, Fairfield and the 1930s belt
Stockton's inter-war semis, Hartburn, Fairfield, Grangefield and the streets off Darlington Lane, have the same brief repeated thousands of times: a compact first-floor bathroom with a bath and no shower space. Bath-out wet room conversions are the standard job at £5,500 to £8,000, and walk-in showers at £2,500 to £5,500 where the floor is better left alone.
Norton and the older stock
Norton's older cottages and period houses have character and complications in equal measure: uneven timber floors, walls out of square, drainage added decades after the house. Wet rooms are entirely possible but the survey does the real work, checking falls, joists and the waste route. Budget £6,000 to £9,000 in period stock.
Town centre terraces and apartments
The terraces around the town centre, Oxbridge and Portrack convert well at the value end, and landlord-spec jobs are common: durable anti-slip flooring, simple glass, humidistat fans. Apartments in the newer developments need a leak-sensitivity check first, because a wet room above another flat puts tanking quality front and centre, and quotes there name the membrane system without being asked.
