How to maintain your new wet room
Simple steps to reduce leaks, staining, mould and drainage issues after a wet room or shower upgrade.
A wet room or shower area needs simple routine care to stay looking good and working properly.
Keep the floor and drain clear
Hair, soap residue and general dirt can slow the drain. Clear the drain cover regularly and check whether water is pooling.
Look after seals and silicone
Silicone and seals around screens, panels and wet areas protect the room. Do not ignore splits, lifting or black mould.
Use ventilation properly
Use the extractor fan and leave the room ventilated after showering to reduce trapped moisture.
FAQs

Why does ventilation matter?
Good ventilation helps remove moisture after showering, reducing condensation and mould risk.
