If you live in Harpenden, Borehamwood, St Albans, Radlett, or Welwyn Garden City, you’ve probably noticed more friends and neighbours talking about wetrooms lately. Maybe you’ve even seen one in a show home or a friend’s newly renovated bathroom. So, what’s behind the buzz, and could a wetroom be a good fit for your own home? The team at East and Gray has been at the heart of this growing trend, helping Hertfordshire homeowners transform their bathrooms into modern, practical spaces.
