Working in Shrewsbury

We cover every part of Shrewsbury, including SY1, SY2 and SY3, and nearby Wellington (9.9 miles) and Telford (12.9 miles).

Shrewsbury has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If your Shrewsbury home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain. If you are planning a wet room in Shrewsbury for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway.

Supplies across most of Shropshire are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Shrewsbury. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

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
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system
A pre-formed floor former with a linear or centre drain, or a screed laid to fall

Decisions to make first

Linear or centre drain

A linear drain along one wall lets the floor fall in a single direction, so large tiles can be laid without awkward cuts. A centre drain needs a four-way fall and suits smaller tiles or mosaic.

Former or screed

A pre-formed board gives a consistent fall and suits timber floors. A sand and cement screed suits concrete slabs and larger shower areas.

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 Shrewsbury: questions

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

A wet room in Shrewsbury usually costs £5,900–£11,750 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.

How long does a wet room take?

Allow 5–10 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Shrewsbury.

Is the home survey in Shrewsbury 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 SY1 in Shrewsbury?

Yes. We cover all of Shrewsbury, including SY1, SY2 and SY3, and nearby Wellington, Telford and Oswestry. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can you have a wet room on a wooden floor?

Yes. On a timber floor, the former usually sits down between the joists so the finished floor stays level, and the joists may need trimming, strengthening or extra noggins. The floor must be stiff, often with a ply overlay, so it does not flex and crack the tiles or the tanking. We check the joists at the survey before quoting.
