Working in Tewkesbury

We cover every part of Tewkesbury, including GL20, and nearby Cheltenham (7.2 miles) and Gloucester (9.4 miles).

Tewkesbury gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. In a compact Tewkesbury bathroom, a wet room frees the space a tray and enclosure would take, but expect the whole floor to get wet. If your Tewkesbury bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor.

Water across much of Gloucestershire is hard. If your supply in Tewkesbury is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover
A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
A survey of the floor construction, the joist size and direction or the concrete slab, and the route to the soil stack
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex

Decisions to make first

Floor tile

Matt or textured porcelain with good slip resistance. Mosaic gives extra grip on a centre-drain floor because of its many grout lines.

Screen size

A screen of 1200 mm or more keeps spray off the rest of the room in most layouts. In a very small wet room, expect the whole floor to get wet.

Rules that apply in England

In England, a new drain connection or changes at the soil stack can be building-regulations work under Part H, and new circuits or changes to the wiring in the room are notifiable under Part P. If the wet room is a newly formed bathroom, Approved Document F requires extract of 15 litres per second intermittent or 8 litres per second continuous.

More about wet rooms

Wet rooms in Tewkesbury: questions

How much should I budget for a wet room in Tewkesbury?

A wet room in Tewkesbury usually costs £6,100–£12,250 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Is the home survey in Tewkesbury really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover GL20 in Tewkesbury?

Yes. We cover all of Tewkesbury, including GL20, and nearby Cheltenham, Gloucester and Great Malvern. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What is tanking in a wet room?

Tanking is the waterproof layer under the tiles that stops water reaching the floor and walls. It is usually a liquid or sheet membrane, with sealing tape at every corner, board joint and pipe. Tiles and grout are not waterproof on their own, so the tanking is what actually keeps the water in.
