Wet-wall panels and tiles can both create a finished bathroom, but they give the room a different look and involve a different installation approach. The right choice is less about one being universally better and more about the room and finish you want.
Wet-wall panels
Wet-wall panels create large continuous surfaces with fewer joints than a traditionally tiled wall. They can suit customers looking for a clean finish and are one of the options included in Olympia’s bathroom guide-price journey.
Fully tiled bathrooms
Tiles offer a very broad range of formats and design possibilities. The tile choice, layout and amount of tiling all form part of the project specification.
How does the choice affect Olympia’s guide prices?
For the bathroom types currently covered by our online guide, tiled options sit above the equivalent wet-wall guide range. For example, a family bathroom is currently guided at £5,000–£7,000 inc VAT with wet wall and £7,000–£9,000 inc VAT when tiled.
Still unsure?
You do not need to have every finish decided before making an enquiry. Use the bathroom journey to see the relevant guide ranges and tell us where you are in the planning process.
