Between July 2024 and August 2026 we completed 96 bathroom and wet room work orders for IKE Supported Housing. Many of the people living in those homes have physical or learning disabilities, so we talk to the support staff first about when a visit will suit and how long the room will be out of use.

Where a room has to be used every day, we break the job into stages so it can be used again at the end of each one. Where it cannot be done that way, we will tell you how long it will be closed before anything comes out.

A wet room only works if the water goes where it should. Failed sealant and tired grout let water behind the tiles, where it does the real damage out of sight. We check what is behind before tiling over it, and a stain in the room below goes on our note as well. See also damp and mould.

Our plumbing and electrical work stops short of anything needing a certificate. Gas, and anything else that does, goes to registered engineers we have worked with for years, and we will arrange the job around them.

We take on bathroom and wet room repairs across County Durham, Teesside and Tyne and Wear, working from our base in Newton Aycliffe. See the towns we cover, or find out how we work.
