Why choose a Wet Room?
6 Reasons why Wet Rooms are the most popular choice with our customers.
The cost of a wet room in the UK can vary quite a bit depending on several factors, but you can expect to pay somewhere in the range of £5,000 to £15,000.
Why choose a Wet Room?
Why choose a Wet Room? Wet rooms provide the perfect solution for the elderly and those with mobility concerns as they are completely level, free from obstacles that require you to manoeuvre around or step into such as a shower cubicle or bathtub.
Our wet rooms can be fit into smaller bathrooms, which makes this an extremely cost-effective and space-saving solution. A wet room comprises of a slip-resistant waterproof floor that drains away the water so there is no need for a shower tray.
Below we state the 6 benefits of transforming your current bathroom into a wet room; so that you can maintain your independence at home without the worry of a slip, trip, or fall.
Ideal for wheelchair users
Easily customisable
Safe access with no obstacles
Practical and long lasting
Promotes independence
Easily maintained and hygienic
Wet rooms offer a safe, easily accessible, practical, and spacious environment which is perfect to promote independence with our choice of grab rails, shower systems, shower screens, and shower seating. However, if you do require carer assistance, this is why you should choose a wet room to enable enough space for safe additional help that you may require when bathing or showering.
In particular, our half-height safety screens are a popular choice for safe and easy accessibility for a carer to assist, whilst containing the water in the area.
As well as being extremely practical and safe, our wet rooms and our walk-in showers complement each other perfectly. You don’t have to compromise on style when you choose an Assisted Living bathroom. We have options to suit every style, requirement, and budget. See examples of our walk-in-shower packages here.
