  • I do regular-ish work for some Architects, the last big project I was around for was for someone with more money that you anyone on this thread and they wanted a flat-floor walk in shower, and even throwing $$$$$ at it, and with an Architect willing to go way beyond normal expectations it still wasn't ever finished satisfactorily.

    My old flat had the issue of too shallow a run from the bathroom. If I had the choice between a 6" step into a shower, or rod-ing out the drains every 6 months because they get blocked with scum I know which one I'd pick

  • Thanks for sharing, that's actually super helpful... I guess same applies to wet rooms then? And there is no real way round it?

    God damn it...

  • I think the UK climate really doesn't help - everything is prone to staying damp all the time. But yeah shallow drain drops are awful, I would do almost anything to avoid one in the future

  • I guess same applies to wet rooms then?

    I've only used a couple and from memory they had a step down or very steep curve.

    A problem in London with wet rooms is the lime scale from the water. I know this applies to all ldn bathrooms, but more so when you get a lot of spray around.

    My builder mate that I put you in touch with did quite a cool thing with a series of wooden steps. The bath is at the end/highest step and almost looks sunken, then the shower is on the second step. This means visually you just see minimalist 1" spaced wooden slats instead of a shower tray, but underneath there is a fuck-off big shower tray.

    ...not sure if that makes sense?

    It works well with their high ceilings, but idk how it would fit with more modern rooms.... it would probably depend on the proportions.
