Why wetrooms in London
A wetroom is a system, not a product — we build it as one.
A wetroom is the part of a bathroom that most often fails when it's not installed properly. The reason is simple: instead of an off-the-shelf shower tray, the wet zone is the floor, and that floor has to be waterproofed, fall correctly to drain, take tile bond and survive thermal cycles for decades. In a typical London flat — first floor of a Victorian terrace, third floor of a new-build, top-floor mansard — a leaking wetroom doesn't just damage your bathroom; it damages the ceiling below.
That's why every wetroom Build Masters Group Ltd installs is built as a system: substrate, primer, waterproof membrane, taped corners, bond-breaker at the drain, large-format tile, fully sealed perimeter. None of those stages is optional.
Where wetrooms work best in London homes
Wetroom layouts often suit London bathrooms better than a traditional shower enclosure: compact ensuites benefit from the open floor (the room feels bigger), period conversions benefit because there's no awkward tray on uneven floors, and family bathrooms with a separate WC can absorb a walk-in shower without losing storage.
What's involved in a London wetroom installation
- Drainage feasibility — checking floor build-up, joist direction, soil pipe access and fall to drain before quoting.
- Strip-out & substrate prep — removing existing flooring, levelling, fitting waterproof boards or self-levelling compound where needed.
- Linear or point drain — installation tied to the soil run, with the floor falls set to the drain in every direction of flow.
- Full tanking — primer, liquid or sheet membrane, taped internal corners, bond-breaker treatment at the drain flange, perimeter seal up to splash height.
- Tile installation — large-format or mosaic floor tile to match wall, level cuts at the drain, alignment of grout lines through the whole wet zone.
- Fit-out — glass screen, shower mixer, head and brassware, niche detailing, accessories.
- Final detailing — silicone, sealing, snagging and a clean handover with photos of the tanking layer for the client's records.
Walk-in showers & small London bathrooms
If a full wetroom is more than the room needs, we also install walk-in showers with a flush tray and partial tanking. This is often the right choice in rented flats, ensuites where the floor build-up is restricted, or where the client wants the wetroom look without re-engineering the floor.
For interior designers & bathroom showrooms
If you are a designer or bathroom showroom specifying a wetroom in London, we install on your behalf with a partner-first approach — clean workmanship, no client poaching, clear updates at every project stage.

FAQ · Wetroom installation
Wetroom installation questions, answered.
How is a wetroom different from a regular bathroom?+
A wetroom has the shower zone integrated directly into the floor with a fully waterproofed (tanked) substrate and a flush or recessed drainage point, instead of a raised shower tray. The whole wet zone — floor and lower walls — is treated as a single waterproof envelope before any tile gets laid.
Can a wetroom be installed in a small London bathroom?+
Yes — many London bathrooms are compact ensuites where a wetroom layout actually saves space compared to a bath or shower enclosure. We design drainage, glass position and storage to make the room feel larger while staying fully waterproof.
How long does a wetroom installation in London take?+
A typical wetroom installation in London takes around 7–12 working days from strip-out to final handover, depending on floor build-up, tile choice, glass lead-time and any structural work needed for the drain.
Do you handle the tanking and waterproofing yourselves?+
Yes. Tanking and waterproofing are core parts of every wetroom we install — primer, membrane, taped corners and bond-breaker treatment of the floor drain are all completed before any tile is laid.
Do you install walk-in showers as an alternative?+
Yes. If a full wetroom isn't right for the room, we install walk-in showers with a flush tray and partial tanking — a sensible choice for ensuites with restricted floor build-up.
Which areas of London do you cover for wetrooms?+
We work across London including Islington, Angel, Hackney, Shoreditch, Camden, Clerkenwell and the wider North and Central London areas.
