Wet Room Installationin Atherton

Atherton is a market town in the western part of Greater Manchester with a tight-knit community and a housing stock that spans Victorian terraces, interwar semis, and modern developments. Like many former mining communities in the area, some older properties sit on ground that has experienced historical subsidence, which can manifest as stressed pipe joints and slow drains. Our engineers know M46 well and provide honest, no-nonsense service that the Atherton community has come to rely on. Emergency response is approximately 60 minutes from our base.

What's Included in Your Atherton Wet Room

Every wet room we install in Atherton is a complete project — we don't just waterproof and leave the rest to you. Our team handles everything from floor preparation to the final shower fitting.

  • Floor preparation and levelling
  • Professional tanking / waterproofing system
  • Centre or linear floor drain fitted
  • Anti-slip floor tiles supplied and laid
  • Wall tiling or waterproof wall panels
  • Thermostatic shower, head and controls
  • Glass screen or walk-in panel fitted
  • All plumbing and electrical connections

Why Tanking is Non-Negotiable

A wet room without professional waterproofing is the most common cause of water damage in bathrooms. Water finds every gap — around the drain, pipe penetrations, corners, and tile joints. Without tanking, it reaches the timber joists, plasterboard, and eventually the ceiling below.

Two-coat liquid tanking membrane

Applied to all floors and walls, filling every micro-gap before tiling.

Reinforced corners and pipe penetrations

The most common leak points — sealed with tanking tape and extra membrane layers.

Professional-grade drainage system

Centre or linear drain set at the correct gradient so all water drains, not pools.

Compatible with underfloor heating

We can incorporate UFH within the build if required — no extra trades needed.

Styles

Wet Room Styles for Atherton Homes

From accessible conversions to luxury spa wet rooms — we design and build them all in M46.

Contemporary Minimalist

Large-format porcelain tiles, frameless glass, and a linear drain for a sleek, spa-like look. Very popular in new builds and modern semis.

Traditional Wet Room

Classic wall and floor tile combinations with a more enclosed feel. Suits period properties in Atherton where bold modern minimalism doesn't fit the aesthetic.

Accessible Wet Room

Fully level-access with grab rails, fold-down shower seat, contrasting floor tiles, and hand-held shower. Compliant with Part M and Lifetime Homes standards.

Luxury Spa Wet Room

Underfloor heating, rainfall ceiling head, body jets, steam option, and premium stone or large-format tiles. The premium end of our offering.

How It Works — Wet Room in Atherton

Our step-by-step process from first contact to finished wet room.

1

Send Photos — Free Quote

WhatsApp photos of your bathroom space to +447963600369 or upload via our portal. We assess the floor, drainage, and dimensions remotely and send a detailed fixed quote — most customers in Atherton get a full price without needing a site visit first.

2

Tanking & Waterproofing

The floor and walls are prepared, the drain is positioned, and a professional-grade tanking membrane is applied across all surfaces, joints, and corners.

3

Tiling & Fixtures

Anti-slip floor tiles are laid to the correct fall gradient toward the drain. Wall tiles or panels go up, then the shower, screen, and fixtures are fitted.

4

Test & Handover

We run a full water test, check all joints and connections, seal everything, and walk you through the finished wet room before we leave.
