Wet Room Conversion in Palm Springs, CA

Palm Springs Kitchen Remodeling Pros is the Coachella Valley's trusted expert in wet room conversion, specializing in full-room waterproofing, sloped curbless floors, and linear drain installation. We offer single-panel glass splash screens and radiant floor heat. Our team provides tub-and-shower removal down to the slab, delivering clean, open shower rooms for homes and floors engineered to drain on every wet room we build.

Backed by $5 million in general liability insurance, we take on wet rooms from a converted hall bath with a single glass panel to a primary wet zone that holds both a shower and a freestanding tub.

From recessing the slab so the room floor pitches a quarter inch per foot to the drain to lapping membrane seams up the wall well above the spray line, our team handles every detail. Serving Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage, Indian Wells and La Quinta, we flood test every floor before tile and deliver reliable, professional and beautiful results on every wet room project.

What a Wet Room Is

A wet room is a bathroom built so the whole floor can get wet. There is no shower tray, no curb and often no enclosure beyond a single glass panel. The floor slopes gently to a drain, and the walls and floor are waterproofed as one continuous surface.

In a desert modern house, a wet room suits the architecture: flat planes, big tile, one sheet of glass, nothing extra. It also happens to be the most accessible shower you can build.

What Makes a Wet Room Work

Waterproofing Is the Whole Job

Tile and grout are not waterproof. Behind them, a sheet or liquid-applied membrane covers the floor and runs up the walls, with sealed seams, corners and pipe penetrations. We flood test the floor for at least a day before any tile goes down.

The Floor Slope

Water has to drain without pooling and without feeling tilted underfoot. A linear drain along one wall lets the floor slope in a single plane, which also allows large-format tile. On a slab, we usually recess the concrete under the wet area so the finished floor stays flush with the rest of the house.

Containment Where You Want It

A fixed glass panel keeps spray off the vanity and toilet. We place fixtures and choose panel width so the dry end of the room actually stays dry.

Ventilation

An open wet room puts more moisture into the air. We size the exhaust fan to the room, run the duct outside rather than into the attic, and add a timer so it keeps running after the shower.

Electrical Safety

All outlets are GFCI protected, and lighting in the wet zone is rated for damp or wet locations.

Wet Room Conversion Cost in Palm Springs

The price moves with slab recess, drain relocation, glass, tile size and heated floors.

How a Wet Room Conversion Runs

1. Walkthrough, slab and drain check.
2. Layout with the slope and drain location drawn, and a written fixed price.
3. Materials ordered, then demolition to the slab.
4. Slab recess, drain and plumbing rough-in, inspection.
5. Membrane, flood test, tile.
6. Glass, fixtures, ventilation check and walkthrough.

Most wet room conversions take three to six weeks on site.

Why Homeowners Trust Us With Wet Rooms

A wet room that is built wrong leaks into the rest of the house. We treat waterproofing and slope as the main event, not an afterthought, and back the work with a 10-year workmanship warranty on cabinetry and stone.

How a Wet Room Is Built

A wet room is a bathroom where the shower area is open and the whole floor is designed to get wet. It looks simple, and it only works if the parts underneath are right.

Waterproofing the Whole Room

The entire floor and the walls in the splash zone get a continuous waterproofing membrane, lapped at every seam and corner and turned up the walls. The membrane is flood tested before any tile goes on.

Slope to a Linear Drain

The floor slopes toward a drain, usually a linear drain along the back wall or at the shower entry. Tile runs one direction toward it, which looks clean and lets us use large-format tile on the floor.

Where the Water Goes, and Where It Does Not

A single fixed glass panel keeps the spray off the toilet and vanity. We place the toilet and vanity on the dry side of the room and, where possible, use a wall-hung vanity so water on the floor never sits against cabinet boxes.

Recessing the Shower on a Slab

To get a truly level entry, the shower area is recessed slightly into the slab. On most Palm Springs homes we can do that with a shallow cut, and we confirm the slab thickness during the estimate.

Why Wet Rooms Suit the Desert

A wet room is easy to clean, easy to step into and cool to look at in a hot climate. It suits small bathrooms, primary baths and aging-in-place plans equally well. Pair it with a heated floor for winter mornings and a quiet exhaust fan on a humidity control, and the room dries out fast.
