Wet room installation in Teesside
A full wet room installation in Teesside costs £5,500 to £11,000 in 2026: strip-out, floor former or screeded fall, full membrane tanking, tiling, drainage and finishing. The floor fall is water-tested before tiling, and the quote names the tanking system.
What a full installation involves
A wet room is a construction method, not a fixture. The old bathroom comes out, the floor is re-formed to fall to a drain (a pre-sloped former deck on timber, a screeded fall on concrete), the whole room is tanked with a membrane system, and only then do tiles, glass and brassware go in. Five to eight working days for a standard room, and the sequence is not compressible: tanking cure times are what they are.
Drainage is the quiet variable. A gravity waste to the soil stack is straightforward on most Teesside semis and terraces; where levels do not allow it, a pumped waste adds £400 to £800 and a maintenance point. The survey establishes the route before anyone quotes, so the number you get is the number the job costs.
What it costs
£5,500 to £11,000 depending on room size, floor construction, drainage route and finish. Large-format porcelain and brushed brass sit at the top end; good ceramic and chrome at the other. The tanking system and the floor work are constants: they are the room, and they are never the place to save. The cost guide breaks every line down.
Who it suits
Full installation suits three briefs: the main bathroom going fully open-plan, the en-suite with room for a proper walk-in area, and any room where accessibility matters, because level access comes as standard. For a tighter room, see small wet rooms; for a simpler and cheaper route, a walk-in shower delivers most of the benefit at half the cost.
