Advice needed re maintaining a wet room

[IlonaM]

I have just moved to a new flat with a wet room. Does anyone have any advice please about maintaining a wet room i.e. keeping floor drainage unblocked, unblocking floor drain, cleaning wet rooms, how to avoid getting water all over the place? I have got some information from google searches, but would be very grateful for any tips.

Many thanks.

Our drain became blocked with hair and the plumber advised me to put a stocking (Or similar) under the large cover. It's a nuisance as we have to mop up after every use.

Hi Lesley, thanks for your advice. Can you use normal drain unblockers down the drain in a wet room, or does that add to the problem?

The idea of a wet room is that it does get wet all over the place, not much you can do about that unless you zone of the shower with a partial glass screen a la walk-in shower...

I'm not sure about the drain unblocker I do put bleach down mine now and again. Mines been out of action over a week now! My pumps broken and the shower technician has left me today saying the pumps out of their jurisdiction and I need to get an electrician! More trouble than its worth! I wish you the best of luck with yours.

Thanks Lesley! I think the decorators left so much plaster dust in the bathroom that the drain has become blocked - I have a puddle which won't drain away. I have had one shower since I moved in and am trying to get someone out to look at it.
