If you’re currently in the market for a new fitted bathroom, maybe you’re considering going down the wet room route. They are extremely popular among homeowners, thanks to their stylish design and ease of use.
Still not sure if a wet room is right for you? Check out our list of 5 wet room benefits to help inform your decision.
1. A Wet room is easy to clean
First and foremost, wet room bathrooms are extremely easy to clean, which is always a good thing, right!? After all, you don’t have all the nooks and crannies that you do in a traditional bathroom, so a quick clean will usually just involve chasing any soap residue down the drain with some water.
Wet rooms that feature a hung toilet and sink are even easier to clean again because they provide unrivalled access to the entire floor.
2. Wet rooms maximise the available space
If you’ve got a relatively small bathroom, you’ll know how important space is. The good news with a wet room – especially if you don’t need or want a bath – is that you’ll maximise your space usage.
There’s no need for a bulky shower enclosure (unless you want a screen), which means no shower doors encroaching into your available space.

3. A Wet room is stylish and modern
Depending on the design and features, wet rooms can be like mini spas in your home. The minimalist layout and floor to ceiling tiles afford a certain sense of luxury that you often don’t get with traditional bathrooms.
If you want to really push the boat out then opt for underfloorheating too. It’s something that’s particularly comforting during the colder months of the year.
4. A Wet room is completely waterproof
Properly installed wet rooms are completely waterproof. It’s a reality that provides reassurance to you as a homeowner because it means you won’t have to worry about any water leaks damaging your property.
This also means that wet rooms can be situated on any floor of your house.
5. Wet rooms afford easy access
Another plus point for wet rooms is that they are particularly good for people who have mobility issues because they do not require you to climb in or out of a bath or shower cubicle. This makes them an obvious choice for elderly homeowners and individuals who aren’t as agile as they used to be.
