Wet Room Installation
Wet Room Installation Falkirk
Fully tanked, precision-fitted wet rooms for bathrooms, en-suites, and accessible living. Designed and installed across Falkirk and Central Scotland.
Why Wet Rooms
Wet Room Fitter in Falkirk
LJD Home Improvements designs and installs wet rooms across Falkirk and Central Scotland. Whether you are converting an existing bathroom, creating a new en-suite, or building a level-access shower for easier mobility, we handle the full project from tanking through to final tile.
Wet room installation requires precision waterproofing that standard bathroom fitting does not. Every surface that may come into contact with water must be fully tanked before any tiles go down. We take this seriously because a poorly waterproofed wet room causes structural damage that is expensive to fix later.

Accessible Wet Rooms
Level-access entry, grab rails, fold-down seating, and non-slip tiling for easier, safer bathing.
How It Works
How Wet Room Waterproofing Works
Waterproofing is the most critical part of any wet room installation. We use a belt-and-braces approach to ensure every surface is fully sealed.
Subfloor Preparation
The floor is checked for structural integrity and levelled if needed. This is the foundation everything else sits on.
Gradient Formation
A gentle fall is created toward the drain position so water flows away cleanly and consistently.
Tanking Membrane
Liquid-applied or sheet membrane is applied to the floor and walls to create a fully sealed, waterproof envelope.
Drain Installation
Linear or point drain fitted flush with the finished floor level for a seamless look and reliable drainage.
Tiling and Finishing
Floor and wall tiles are laid over the tanked surfaces with flexible, waterproof grout. Final fittings and fixtures are installed.
Is a Wet Room Right for You?
When a Wet Room Makes Sense
Wet rooms are not just a design choice. They solve practical problems too. Here are some of the most common reasons homeowners choose a wet room over a standard bathroom.
Small Bathrooms
Removing a bath and shower enclosure opens up the space significantly. A wet room makes a compact bathroom feel twice the size.
Accessibility
Level-access entry with no step or tray to climb over. Ideal for older residents, wheelchair users, or anyone who finds a standard bath or shower enclosure difficult.
Property Value
Modern buyers expect open-plan, level-access bathrooms. A well-built wet room adds real value to new-builds and refurbishments.
Easier Cleaning
Fewer joints, no shower tray edges, and fully tiled surfaces throughout. Wet rooms are simpler to keep clean than standard shower enclosures.

Common Questions
Wet Room FAQ
- Can you convert my existing bathroom into a wet room?
- Yes. Most standard bathrooms can be converted to a wet room. We assess the floor structure and drainage position during the initial visit and advise on any preparation work needed.
- How long does a wet room installation take?
- A typical wet room conversion takes 7 to 10 working days. This includes strip-out, floor preparation, tanking, plumbing, tiling, and fitting. Tanking needs curing time before tiling can begin.
- Do wet rooms leak?
- Not when installed correctly. Full tanking of the floor and walls creates a sealed envelope that prevents water reaching the structure. The quality of the tanking is everything, which is why it should always be done by an experienced fitter.
- Is underfloor heating compatible with a wet room?
- Yes. Electric underfloor heating mats sit beneath the tiles and work well in wet rooms. We coordinate the electrical installation as part of the project.
- Can a wet room be accessible for wheelchair users?
- Yes. Wet rooms are ideal for accessible living because they have no step, no tray to climb over, and no doors to navigate. We can include grab rails, fold-down seating, and non-slip tiling as part of the design.
- What areas do you cover for wet room installation?
- We are based in Falkirk and cover Stirling, Grangemouth, Bo'ness, Larbert, Stenhousemuir, and the wider Central Scotland area. For larger projects we also work across Edinburgh and Glasgow.
