Wet Room Flooring in Peterborough

Wet Room Flooring in Peterborough — Non-Slip, Waterproof Installation

Cambridgeshire Carpets supplies and fits wet room flooring across Peterborough and the wider Cambridgeshire area, for homes, care homes and commercial settings throughout PE1–PE7. A wet room floor has to be completely waterproof and reliably slip-resistant — it is a specialist installation where the quality of the welding, coving and falls is everything. We fit non-slip safety vinyl wet room floors to the highest standard. Call 01733 924009 for a free survey.

In short: wet room flooring is slip-resistant safety vinyl that is heat-welded at the seams and coved up the walls to form a continuous, fully water-tight surface, usually over a tanked (waterproofed) subfloor with falls to the drain. It is the standard for level-access showers, accessible bathrooms and care settings. Supply-and-fit prices in Peterborough typically run from £35–£60/m² installed, depending on coving, tanking and drainage.

Why Choose Cambridgeshire Carpets for Wet Room Flooring in Peterborough?

Wet room flooring leaves no room for error — a single poorly welded seam or badly formed cove lets water reach the structure beneath. As a local, independent specialist rated 5.0 stars across 75 Google reviews, we install wet room floors with hot-welded joints, coved and capped edges, and correct falls to the drain, to a fully water-tight finish. We work sensitively in domestic, care and accessible settings. Cambridgeshire Carpets Ltd is registered at Companies House (No. 15769348), based at 4 The Manor Grove Centre, Vicarage Farm Road, Peterborough, PE1 5UH.

What Makes a Wet Room Floor Different?

A wet room is a fully waterproof bathroom where the shower area is open and the floor drains directly. The flooring must do three things at once: stay slip-resistant even when wet, be completely water-tight, and channel water to the drain. We achieve this with slip-resistant safety vinyl that is heat-welded at every seam and coved up the wall and finished with a capping strip, so there is no floor-to-wall joint for water to penetrate. Beneath it, the subfloor is tanked (waterproofed) and formed with gentle falls toward the drain.

Slip Resistance & Safety

Slip resistance is the heart of a wet room specification. We fit safety vinyl rated to the appropriate standard — typically R11 for domestic and care wet rooms, rising to R12 where required — and to the relevant BS 7976 pendulum (PTV) value for care and commercial settings. The slip-resistant particles run through the wear layer, so grip lasts for the life of the floor. This makes wet room flooring ideal where elderly, disabled or mobility-impaired users are present, and it is a common element of bathroom adaptations and care provision.

Accessible & Level-Access Wet Rooms

Wet rooms are the natural solution for level-access and accessible bathrooms — a barrier-free, walk-in or wheelchair-accessible shower space with no step to trip on. We work on disabled adaptations, occupational-therapy specifications and care-home bathrooms across Peterborough, fitting non-slip floors that meet the needs of the user and the requirements of the setting. We coordinate with the falls, drain position and any grab-rail or shower-seat arrangements so the finished floor is safe, compliant and easy to clean.

Wet Room Flooring Brands We Fit

We fit the UK's leading wet room and safety vinyl brands: Altro (Altro Aquarius and the Altro Whiterock wall system for a fully sealed floor-and-wall solution), Polyflor (Polysafe Aquatec), Gerflor (Tarasafe) and Forbo (Surestep). The Whiterock wall system is particularly popular in care and clinical settings, creating a hygienic, grout-free, fully wipeable surface from floor to ceiling. We specify the right product and slip rating for your wet room.

Domestic, Care & Commercial Wet Rooms

We install wet room flooring for a wide range of clients: homeowners creating a modern or accessible bathroom; care homes and assisted-living facilities needing CQC-ready, slip-resistant wet rooms; NHS and clinical settings following HTM guidance; and leisure and commercial changing and shower facilities. Whatever the setting, the principles are the same — waterproof, slip-resistant and hygienic — and our safety flooring expertise underpins every wet room we fit.

How Much Does Wet Room Flooring Cost in Peterborough?

As a 2026 guide, supply-and-fit wet room flooring in Peterborough typically costs £35–£60/m² installed, with the final figure depending on the product, the extent of coving, the tanking required and the drainage arrangement. Because wet rooms are usually small areas with a high proportion of skilled welding and coving labour, the price is often quoted as a complete job rather than a simple rate per square metre.

Our Wet Room Flooring Process

Our process delivers a reliably water-tight floor: a free survey to assess the room, the subfloor and the drainage; subfloor preparation and tanking, forming the correct falls to the drain and applying a waterproof membrane; installation of the slip-resistant vinyl with hot-welded seams and coved, capped edges; and sign-off with cleaning and maintenance guidance. The result is a continuous, hygienic, water-tight floor that performs safely for years.
