This is my second in about 2 years.

The first customer really wanted one and I begrudginly took it on. It did my head in as there were loads of things that I had simply not done before. However, 2 years later and several uses by a gent in a wheelchair and 6 dogs in that time the customer has confirmed that no problems have arisen and they are still reaping the benefits. So I must have done something right.

In hindsight I'm very glad I did it.

The 2nd that I am doing now was my suggestion. The customer had the most poorly fitted shower room using a 1200 wide screen, 900 x 900 shower tray and nearly level pieces of 6mm ply tiled to make up the areas against a back wall that isn't straight. It leaked like a seive and ruined the timber floor beneath.

He likes the space so I suggested he considered a wet room. It is more money but it makes much better use of the room as the former can be cut to fit the awquared shape of the shower area. Then the tiles will be cut to suit.

We are considering a wet room for our conversion project. Should add heaps to the house value.

Other than that I'm not getting much call for them. Once I have got a couple under my belt I may tout that service a bit more. As I'm fairly new to them I'm still not making a huge amount of money from them.

I have to say, I'm unconvinced about installing them on wooden floors. I haven't yet bought into that school of thought.
