Seperate shower next to bathtub: will it work?

[mum2015]

My kids make a big splash when they take bath. I saw this in pinterest and wondering if it would work?
Bathroom would be on first floor, so i guess it would need some kind if shower tray under shower... Will it come out neat like the attached image.

This would be amazing for us my kids always look as though they have flooded the bathroom when they've been in! It looks a great idea.

it's a wetroom with a bath in it.

Would cost a bit.

Yep. Seen it in a trendy boutique hotel where space limited.

How is a wetroom created? Does it have a shower tray under tiles? Any rough estimate how much more expensive this would be compared to bath and separate shower room?

the entire floor has to be impervious, including under the bath, with no unsealed holes in it for pipes. Sometimes the floor is tanked and tiled up to skirting level like a tray and the walls are then tiled or boarded and sealed to it. There are specialist makers of boarding systems. Due to steam and splashes the ceiling also needs to be resistant, and the room will need powerful ventilation or it will get damp and mouldy.

I don't know prices, but it is quite a lot of work. The new boarding systems look like they are easier than tanking and tiling.

I had a bathroom like that in a hotel a few weeks ago. I found it pretty good as the shower was nice and spacious so much better than a tight cubicle. I don't know the cost difference but it probably depends of what you were planning to do anyway, eg tiling all the way to the ceiling.

last year an installer wanted to use this stuff but when I started pricing up all the components, I decided to go for tiles.

In the videos it looks fairly easy and less skill needed, but the boards are a kind of laminated ply.
