Assess the existing floor
The structure, floor depth and route to drainage influence the design. The room needs an assessment before level access or a particular drain position can be promised.

Explore a more open shower space with the floor, waterproofing and drainage planned together from the start.
- Open shower layouts
- Floor and drainage assessment
- Practical finish and access choices
Plan what is underneath the finish
A wet room is a construction detail as much as a style. A suitable system and careful preparation matter long before the tiles are chosen.
Plan waterproofing as a system
Floor and wall junctions, penetrations and the shower area need a coherent waterproofing specification. Ask what system is proposed and how it works with the chosen finish.
Balance openness with splash control
A screen can preserve the open appearance while helping protect the basin, toilet and doorway from spray. The usable shower space matters more than simply removing an enclosure.
Talk through access needs
If easier access is the reason for the change, explain your needs at the first conversation. Entry, support options, reach to controls and a suitable floor finish should inform the layout.
Make the quotation work for you.
Ask for a clear scope, product specification and any allowances. Compare what is included, as well as the final price. Plan your bathroom budget.

Your bathroom questions, answered.
Can an upstairs bathroom become a wet room?
It may be possible, but the structure, drainage and waterproofing approach need assessment. An upstairs location alone does not confirm suitability.
Will every part of the floor get wet?
That depends on the layout and shower use. Screen position, floor falls and drainage should be designed to manage water in the intended wet area.
