Ignite Plumbing & Heating
Wet room installation and conversions
Professional wet room installation, level-access showers and complete bathroom conversions across Ipswich, Colchester and South Norwich.
Bathroom-to-wet-room conversions
Convert an existing bathroom, shower room or en-suite into a walk-in wet room with a carefully planned level-access shower area.
Waterproof tanking and drainage
The survey considers floor construction, waterproof tanking, shower formers, drainage routes and the falls needed to carry water towards the drain.
Accessible and mobility wet rooms
Layouts can include level-access showering, non-slip flooring, practical screen positions and accessible fittings selected for the person using the room.
Small and upstairs wet rooms
Compact bathrooms and upstairs timber floors may be suitable, subject to structural checks, splash control, ventilation and an achievable drainage route.
Wet-room cost and timescale
Cost and programme depend on structure, drainage changes, waterproofing, sanitaryware and finish. Ignite Plumbing provides a written quote after surveying the room and agreeing the scope.
Can I have a wet room upstairs on a timber floor?
An upstairs wet room can be possible, but suitability depends on the joist structure, sub-floor and route available for drainage. We assess the floor before recommending a suitable former, reinforcement where required and a complete tanking specification.
How much does a wet room cost?
Wet-room costs vary because drainage alterations, structural preparation, waterproofing, sanitaryware and the chosen finish all affect the work. We survey the room before giving a written quote based on the agreed scope.
How long does a bathroom-to-wet-room conversion take?
The featured Norwich conversion was completed in five days, but that is one project rather than a standard promise. Floor preparation, drainage changes, drying times and tiling complexity determine the programme, which we confirm after the survey.
Do you install accessible or mobility wet rooms?
We can plan level-access showering with suitable non-slip flooring, screens and accessible fittings. The layout and product choices are agreed around the person using the room and the practical limits of the property.
Can a small bathroom be converted into a wet room?
Often, yes. Removing a raised shower tray can make a compact room easier to use, but door positions, splash control, ventilation and the available floor fall must all be considered during the survey.
Can underfloor heating be fitted in a wet room?
Underfloor heating can be considered as part of the design when the floor build-up, chosen system and electrical requirements are suitable. We discuss this before the final specification is agreed.
