What moves the price
- Size of the wet room — a larger room needs more tanking, tiling and floor forming to drain correctly.
- Quality of materials used — natural stone and large porcelain tiles cost more than standard ceramic tiles in a wet room.
- Any additional plumbing or electrical work required — moving the drain, toilet or shower position adds plumbing work to the installation.
- Floor forming and drainage — a timber floor may need a pre-formed tray or new joists to give the wet room its fall.
- Custom designs or accessibility features — grab rails, level access and wider doors add fitting work and materials to the wet room.

How to pay less
- Keeping the shower drain close to the existing waste pipe avoids extra plumbing work in the wet room.
- Tiling the shower area to full height and painting the other walls can lower the wet room tiling cost.
- A pre-formed wet room tray or former can cost less in labour than building the floor fall by hand.
- Removing the old bathroom suite yourself, if you are comfortable doing it, can cut the installer's time on the job.
- Choosing standard ceramic tiles over natural stone can reduce the cost of a wet room without changing how it works.
Before you book
- Access to the bathroom area for measurements and assessments.
- Details about your design preferences and any specific requirements.
- Your budget and timeline for the wet room, so the installer can suggest what fits.
- Tell the installer whether the floor is concrete or timber, as this changes how the wet room is formed.
- You can ask how the wet room will be tanked and whether the waterproofing is tested before tiling.
- Agree before the day where the drain and any grab rails will go, and whether a shower screen is included.
- Check that the wet room installer is qualified, and that the materials used suit wet areas and meet building standards.
