Heated Bathroom Floor

Stepping out of the shower onto a warm stone floor isn't a luxury — it's a quality-of-life upgrade we can install in any bathroom renovation.

Heated bathroom floor with underfloor heating

For new bathroom builds we run hydronic underfloor pipes in the screed before tiling. For renovations we use a low-profile electric underfloor mat under the tile adhesive bed (faster, no plumbing required, similar comfort outcome).

Hydronic is more efficient and pairs with whole-home heating; electric is simpler for single-room retrofits.

FAQs

Common questions

Hydronic underfloor or electric mat?

New build with planned hydronic heating: hydronic underfloor (efficient, integrated). Renovation with no hydronic system: electric mat (faster install, no plumbing). Comfort outcome is similar; running cost favours hydronic.

How long does a heated bathroom floor take to install?

Electric mat under tile: 1 day plus tiling. Hydronic in-screed: 2–3 days plus screed cure (7+ days) plus tiling. New-build hydronic: laid before slab pour, no extra time on critical path.

Do they dry the floor after a shower?

Yes — running the floor for 30 minutes after a shower dries the tiles. Many of our clients run the floor on a timer to dry the bathroom after morning use, saving on bathroom mould and humidity.
