We're all for DIY on Ideal Home. Anything that saves money and elevates our home is a win in our book. However, some projects, like tanking a bathroom to create a wet room, should never be attempted by a casual DIYer.
While it is technically possible to tank a wet room on a DIY basis – there are plenty of kits available online, like this Thermopanel kit from B&Q – the risks are incredibly high. Tanking involves making the entire bathroom waterproof. A single gap or crack and the water will seep through the floor or walls, causing damp, rot and mould, and potentially affecting the structural integrity of your home.
