Project description
We are looking for a contractor experienced in wet room construction who can install a bonded waterproofing membrane (sheet or liquid-applied) with properly sealed corners, seams and pipe penetrations, set a pre-sloped foam or mortar bed, and place a linear drain flush with the finished floor. The transition from the tiled floor into the shower area must be seamless and step-free, suitable for wheelchair or walker access as well as everyday convenience. Non-slip porcelain or textured stone tile should be used on the floor, with coordinating wall tile up to ceiling height in the wet zone, and a frameless glass panel or half-wall to contain splashing without a full enclosure.
Additional scope includes relocating or extending plumbing lines as needed for the new drain location, installing a recessed niche for toiletries, a fold-down or built-in bench, grab bars set into blocking (not just drywall anchors), and a handheld shower system on a sliding bar. Proper ventilation (upgraded exhaust fan tied to a humidity sensor) is required to protect the surrounding structure long term. All work must meet local plumbing and building code for wet room slope ratios and waterproofing standards, and a flood test of the pan is expected before tile is set. Please include your experience with similar barrier-free bathroom conversions, photos of past wet room work, the waterproofing system you plan to use, and a realistic timeline including drying and cure times between stages.
