Working in Stourbridge

We work right across Stourbridge — DY5, DY8 and DY9 — and in neighbouring Brierley Hill and Kingswinford.

In Stourbridge, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. In a compact Stourbridge bathroom, a wet room frees the space a tray and enclosure would take, but expect the whole floor to get wet. We quote wet rooms in Stourbridge only after looking at the floor construction, because that is where most of the cost difference lies.

Water hardness varies across the West Midlands: some supplies are soft, others moderately hard or hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Stourbridge. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling
A survey of the floor construction, the joist size and direction or the concrete slab, and the route to the soil stack
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system
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.

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.

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 Stourbridge: questions

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

A wet room in Stourbridge usually costs £5,900–£11,750 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Who handles building control for a wet room in Stourbridge?

Building control for Stourbridge is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

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 Stourbridge.

Is the home survey in Stourbridge 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.

Is a wet room better than a walk-in shower?

A wet room gives a completely level floor and a seamless finish, but costs more because the whole floor is tanked. A walk-in shower uses a low-profile tray and a glass panel, is quicker to fit and costs less. If you need level access, a wet room is the right choice; if you just want an open shower, a walk-in is usually enough. Our guide to wet rooms and walk-in showers goes further.
