Discover the Difference: Merlyn Shower Enclosures at Aquatec

When designing your perfect bathroom, it’s often the finishing touches that make the biggest impact. A high-quality shower enclosure doesn’t just elevate the look of your space - it transforms your everyday experience. At Aquatec, we’re proud to showcase Merlyn shower enclosures, a brand renowned for combining style, innovation, and long-lasting performance.

Built to Last – A Lifetime of Confidence

One of the standout features of Merlyn enclosures is their lifetime guarantee . This isn’t just a promise — it’s a reflection of the premium materials, precision engineering, and exceptional craftsmanship that go into every product. When you choose Merlyn, you’re investing in a solution designed to stand the test of time.

Effortless Maintenance with Mershield Technology

Cleaning your shower shouldn’t feel like a chore. That’s why every Merlyn enclosure — from the entry-level MBOX range to their premium collections — is treated with Mershield , an advanced anti-limescale coating.

This innovative technology works by repelling water, soap residue, and mineral deposits, helping to reduce limescale build-up. The result? Water beads and rolls off the glass surface, much like it does on a freshly waxed car.

✔ Less time cleaning
✔ Crystal-clear glass for longer
✔ A bathroom that always feels fresh and polished

Designed with Installers (and Homeowners) in Mind

Merlyn enclosures are not only beautiful — they’re also practical. Designed for easy installation , they consistently receive excellent feedback from professional installers. That means fewer complications during fitting and a smoother experience from start to finish.

A Style and Price Point for Everyone

Whether you’re renovating on a budget or creating a luxury retreat, Merlyn offers a wide range of enclosures to suit every space and price point. From sleek, minimalist designs to more premium, statement pieces, there’s something for every home.

Experience It for Yourself at Aquatec

While the features sound impressive, nothing compares to seeing and feeling the quality in person. We invite you to visit the Aquatec showroom, where you can explore Merlyn products, get expert advice, and find the perfect solution for your bathroom.

Ready to Upgrade Your Bathroom?

If you’re looking for a shower enclosure that combines style, durability, and easy maintenance , Merlyn is a smart choice.

Wet Room Planning & Waterproofing Essentials: Design, Products & Expert Advice

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 00:14:13 GMT

Wet rooms have become one of the most desirable bathroom upgrades in modern homes. Sleek, open plan, and practical, they’re the perfect way to create a luxury spa like feel while maximising space. But behind every beautiful wet room is careful planning and most importantly, the right waterproofing. Without it, even the most stunning design can lead to leaks, costly repairs and disappointment.

At Aquatec Bathrooms in Salisbury, we don’t just sell the products - you can experience a working wet room display in our showroom, featuring the stunning Axor overhead and hand shower system. It’s the ideal place to get inspiration, see how the products function in real life, and talk to our experts about what’s possible in your own home.

Here, we’ll cover the essentials of wet room planning, from waterproofing and drainage to layout and product choices, and explain how Aquatec can help you bring your vision to life.

Why Choose a Wet Room?

Wet rooms are more than a trend, they’re a long term investment in comfort and style. Some of the top benefits include:

Maximising Space: Especially useful for small bathrooms, wet rooms remove bulky shower trays and create a sense of openness.
Easy to Clean: With fewer nooks and crannies, wet rooms are quick to maintain.
Accessibility: A barrier-free, level entry design makes them perfect for all ages and abilities.
Luxury Feel: With the right fixtures, like Aquatec’s Axor shower range, you can recreate the indulgence of a high end spa at home.

Step One: Waterproofing & Tanking Systems

The most important part of wet room planning is something you won’t see once it’s finished, the waterproofing system. A fully tanked wet room ensures no water seeps into walls or floors, preventing mould, rot, or leaks into other rooms.

At Aquatec, we advise on:

Tanking kits designed for wet rooms of any size.
Waterproof wall panels or tile backer boards to protect surfaces.
Sealing products for joints, corners, and transitions.

We only recommend tried and tested products that we know will stand the test of time, giving you peace of mind with your installation.

Step Two: Drainage & Flooring

A successful wet room requires clever drainage. The floor must slope subtly towards the drain, ensuring water flows away efficiently. The two most popular options are:

Linear drains: Sleek, modern, and easy to maintain.
Square drains: Compact and cost-effective.

Pairing drainage with the right flooring is key. Non-slip tiles, vinyl, or stone can all work beautifully. Aquatec Bathrooms' team can advise which finishes are most practical for your household, whether you’re creating a family friendly bathroom or a stylish master ensuite .

Step Three: Layout & Product Selection

Unlike a traditional bathroom, a wet room has fewer barriers , so layout planning is crucial to keep water where it’s meant to be. Positioning the shower away from the entrance and using smart glass panels can help contain spray while keeping the open feel.

At our showroom, you can test out the Axor working overhead and hand shower , a perfect example of how high-quality fixtures enhance both functionality and aesthetics. We’ll also guide you on choosing the right brassware, shower screens, and storage solutions that match your space and budget.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

When planning your wet room, it’s easy to overlook the small details that make a big difference. Avoid:

Insufficient waterproofing – never cut corners here.
Poor drainage positioning – puddles are not part of the luxury feel.
Ignoring ventilation – without it, condensation and mould can quickly build up.
Cheap fixtures – investing in quality pays off in reliability and lifespan.

Aquatec Bathroom’s showroom displays and expert advice will help you sidestep these pitfalls and get your wet room right the first time.

Why Visit Aquatec for Your Wet Room?

Unlike online only suppliers, Aquatec Bathrooms gives you the chance to see, touch, and test products in person . Our working wet room display shows you exactly how premium products like Axor showers perform, while our staff can walk you through waterproofing kits, drainage solutions, and the best fixtures for your budget.

We’re not just a bathroom showroom, we’re also plumbing and heating merchants with years of experience supplying the local trade. That means our advice goes beyond design; we can help you understand what works with your plumbing system, which products are compatible, and how to future-proof your bathroom.

Final Thoughts: Plan Right, Enjoy for Years

A wet room is an investment in both style and functionality, but it only works when built on a foundation of solid waterproofing and smart design. With the right products and expert advice, you can enjoy a bathroom that feels indulgent, practical, and built to last.

At Aquatec Bathrooms in Salisbury, our showroom is the perfect place to start. Come and see our working wet room , experience the Axor shower system , and let our team guide you through every step of your project.

Q and A with the Team : Lucy

Sun, 18 Jun 2023 12:53:07 GMT

Unleashing Creativity - Lucy's Journey into the World of Bathroom Design

Q: Can you tell us a bit about yourself and how you got started in the world of bathroom design?

A: Of course! I moved to Salisbury in 2017 to be with my partner and future husband. Before that, I had a fulfilling career as a nurse in Bath and Swindon. I absolutely loved taking care of people and making a difference in their lives. However, after nine years, I started feeling like something was missing. I wanted a new challenge, something that would push me to grow both personally and professionally. That's when I stumbled upon a vacancy for a showroom advisor at Aquatec. It seemed like the perfect opportunity to help people in a different way and learn something entirely new.

Q: What were some of the challenges you faced when you first started working in bathroom design?

A: Oh, there were quite a few challenges in the beginning, but I was determined to overcome them. One of the main hurdles was getting up to speed with all the technical knowledge and understanding of different products. I studied brochures, had conversations with tradespeople, and leaned on my colleagues in the trade centre for guidance. It was a lot to absorb, but over time, I flourished. My confidence grew, and I started taking on more challenging projects. I can honestly say that I've enjoyed every second of this journey.

Q: How does your previous experience in nursing help your current work in bathroom design?

A: As a nurse, I had the privilege of caring for people on a personal level, and it opened my eyes to the diverse needs and requirements individuals have. One area where my nursing background truly shines is in universal bathroom design. I've learned how to create spaces that are accessible and functional for people of all ages and abilities.

I understand the importance of safety, independence, and comfort, especially for those with mobility challenges or older adults who may need extra support. Not only will their bathrooms be visually stunning, but they will also promote accessibility and inclusivity for everyone who uses them. It's truly fulfilling to combine my nursing background with my passion for bathroom design and create spaces that make a positive difference in people's lives.

Q: What personal connection do you have to the local area that Aquatec serves?

A: I have a strong personal connection to the local area we serve. When I moved to Salisbury in 2017, I instantly fell in love with the sense of community here. It became my home, and I wanted to contribute to the place that welcomed me with open arms. Being part of Aquatec allows me to provide exceptional service to the community I now call home. It's a privilege to work with and support the people of Salisbury and surrounding areas to create beautiful, personalised bathroom solutions for them.

Q: What do you enjoy most about working in bathroom design?

A: What I love most about working in bathroom design is the opportunity to be creative and have fun with our customers. Designing a bathroom is like creating a unique masterpiece that reflects the client's style and needs. It's incredibly rewarding to see their vision come to life and know that I played a part in making it happen. Plus, I get to connect with new people every day, and that's something I find truly fulfilling.

Q: How do you go above and beyond to support your clients throughout the process of creating their new bathroom?

A: At Aquatec, we believe in providing exceptional support to our clients every step of the way. We understand that creating a new bathroom can be an exciting but also overwhelming process. That's why we offer flexible appointment options, including out-of-hours appointments, to accommodate our clients' busy schedules. We want to make sure that they have the time and attention they need to discuss their ideas and preferences. We're also available for telephone and email communication five days a week, so our clients can reach out to us whenever they have questions or need guidance. Our goal is to ensure a smooth and enjoyable buying process, making their journey with us as seamless as possible.

Q: What can prospective customers expect when working with you and the team at Aquatec??

A: When you choose to work with me and the team at Aquatec, you can expect a commitment to great customer service, a friendly and enthusiastic approach, and a personalized experience tailored to your needs. We genuinely care about our customers and strive to exceed their expectations at every turn. From the moment you walk through our doors, we'll be there to listen, guide, and support you throughout your bathroom design journey. Our goal is to create a positive and rewarding experience for you, resulting in a stunning bathroom that you'll love for years to come.

So, let's embark on this exciting journey together and transform your bathroom dreams into reality!

Choosing the Perfect Shower for Your Bathroom

Sun, 18 Sep 2022 12:53:06 GMT

At Aquatec Bathrooms in Salisbury, you won’t be surprised to learn that we have a wide range of showers to choose from in our showroom. Picking the right one for your bathroom, however, can be a bit of a challenge and requires a good deal of thought.

It’s not just the design you have to consider but also what type of system you are going to use. Here we take a closer look at the options and how to choose the perfect installation.

TYPES OF SHOWER

There are several things to consider when deciding on a shower. The first is going to be the system that you use to heat the water. There are several options here and a lot will depend on your personal preference and, to a certain extent, the type of water system you employ.

1. Electric Shower

This is probably the most common in the UK and involves a unit that is fitted to the wall and heats the water through an internal system. It has one source of water and that’s the cold pipe and is generally very economical. It’s also perfect if you have lots of people popping in and out of the shower.

2. Mixer shower

This uses your hot and cold water supply and a mixer tap or thermostat that you can use to get the right temperature. You need a combi boiler or hot water cylinder to maintain the hot water which can make it a less attractive option if you have many people in the home. It doesn’t, however, require any electrical work.

3. Digital shower

The latest addition to the market is the digital shower where you can use a panel or even your mobile phone to control the heat and the flow of the water. These are essentially smarter showers that provide you with perfect comfort levels at all times.

All of these have eco-friendly options that are designed to save you water as well as money on your fuel bills. You can also find showers with pumps that improve water flow, especially if you live in a high rise or a low water pressure.

Choosing a Shower Head

The next choice is the shower head and there’s quite a bit of variation. You can have fixed showers that can’t be moved as well as handheld with a slider bar. Ceiling mounted shower heads are becoming increasingly popular and there are also options for different spray patterns.

Your Shower Surround

The next choice is what type of shower tray and surround you want to install. A lot will depend on the space you have. Walk-in showers are becoming more common where the shower tray lies flush with the floor.

Of course, you may want to mix and match different brands to get the look you want but there’s also a lot to be said for all in one systems and surrounds. These incorporate the tray, cabin, and shower and can also include body jets as well as extras such as mood lighting, steam options and even music.

Why Choose Aquatec Bathrooms in Salisbury

Our aim is to provide you with the shower or bathroom of your dreams. We stock a wide range of brands and models to suit almost any home. Our talented and knowledgeable team can use scaled drawing and computer software to help you visualise your new bathroom.

How to Deep Clean Your Bathroom

Thu, 30 Jun 2022 05:24:36 GMT

Our hot tips to keeping your bathroom clean

In the steamy, warm environment of the bathroom, all sorts of germs and bacteria can thrive. Surfaces also become dull and streaked. You may also have noticed that the showerhead has become blocked with limescale. So even if you clean your bathroom regularly, you may wish to do a deeper clean every so often to get to those harder to clean bits that build up over time, such as descaling, tile grout and watermarked glass.

At Aquatec Bathrooms in Salisbury, we often receive questions about the best way to tackle these jobs and maintain a squeaky clean a bathroom. Here are our top tips:

1. Clear Out Your Bathroom

The first thing you need to do is clear out all the bottles, soaps and other bathroom products so you can get at all the surfaces without having to move stuff around. Bottles and containers can all get greasy and dirty over time so give each a good wipe down and clean.

You can also use this moment to clear out old products and put them in the recycling bin.

2. Cleaning Shower Cabinets

If you just have a shower curtain, take it down and run through the washing machine (provided that it is made of a material that will not perish in this way – check the label or if it is a plastic sheet, you may wish to wash this by hand and hang up to dry).

Many of us have glass shower cabinets which can get unsightly watermarks over them. Use an all-purpose bathroom cleaner to spray the surfaces inside and out and leave for a few minutes before wiping off. You may wish to use a cleaning product that is a bit more stringent when it comes to limescale, as this will help to remove these marks more easily and involve less scrubbing.

If you do have a blocked shower head, remove it and put in a plastic jiffy bag with a mix of vinegar and leave overnight. Once rinsed, it should get rid of any limescale or other blockages and leave it perfectly clean.

3. Tile and Grout Cleaner

Other places that become dulled over time are the walls and the tiles. You can buy specialist tile and grout cleaners to help bring these back to life in next to no time.

Spray your tiles and work the cleaner into the grouted area with an old toothbrush or a long thin brush designed specifically for tiles (you can pick these up quite cheaply online). Leave to work for a bit and then wipe off with a damp micro-fibre cloth.

4. Taps and Other Surfaces

Next work your way around the taps, bath, sink and other fixtures in your bathroom and spray with an all-purpose cleaner. Pay special attention to the difficult areas around taps that can often attract a build up of limescale and dirt over time. Put some of your cleaner down each of the drains to help remove any bacteria that is gathered in your pipes.

5. Toilet Cleaning

Make sure you use a strong toilet cleaner and work the brush into places like the rim. You should also spray and give the toilet seat a good clean both top and bottom with an antibacterial product.

If your toilet stands away from the wall, then you’ll have to get down on your hands and knees and give this a good clean too. For good hygiene measures, be sure to use a separate cloth or sponge for the toilet that is either disposable or washable.

6. Getting Rid of Bathroom Mould

Many bathrooms are prone to mould build-up and this can be difficult to keep on top of once it starts. A simple solution is to use a diluted vinegar solution that will kill off the mould. Spray this on and leave to work before wiping off. Leaving a window open when you have a hot shower can help prevent the build-up of condensation that leads to problems like mould.

7. Vacuuming Floors

The final step is to give the floor a good clean. Check areas like the skirting board and behind places like the toilet to get rid of any dirt with an all-purpose cleaner. If you have tiled floor, use some of the tile and grout cleaner on this area. For other floor surfaces, a good vacuum and wash with a floor cleaner should finish things off nicely.

8. Protect Your Hands

It is important that whilst using cleaning chemicals, dealing with bodily fluid residue and having your hands in water for a long period of time – that you wear gloves to protect your hands.

A good pair of marigold gloves can be bought from many general stores and supermarkets and will be of the correct thickness to protect you from high water temperatures too. Normal disposable gloves can also be used, but be careful not to get any moisture inside the gloves or puncture them whilst in use as you will not longer be protected.

9. Re-usable or Disposable?

We are all about protecting the environment. It is often a matter of personal choice as to whether you use a disposable cloth or antibacterial wipe for these types of jobs, or a cloth or sponge that you can wash and re-use.

When considering disposable options, try and choose biodegradable products that will be less harm to the environment. When using re-usable cloths and sponges, you should wash these separately and put on at least a 60oC wash to kill off any lingering germs.

When considering the environment, you may also wish to purchase products that are not harmful to the environment, or make your own at home using things like vinegar, bicarbonate of soda and lemon juice for a fresh scent.

If you have any questions or wish for some more detailed recommendations for your particular bathroom surfaces, feel free to get in touch with our team who can advise you.

The benefits of Bathroom Heating

Tue, 21 Jun 2022 20:13:06 GMT

The last thing you want on a cold winter day is to step into a bathroom that doesn’t have great heating. It’s the one place where comfort is paramount.

At Aquatec Bathrooms, we can help with all aspects of your bathroom design including making sure you have the right heating options in place. From underfloor heating to elegant heated towel rails and smart lights, we think we’ve got everything you might need to keep yourself warm while you have a shower or bath.

Great bathroom heating has a number of benefits:

It’s designed to keep you warm without burning you. A gentle heat, in a small space like this, is ideal.
It helps keep the air dry and prevents damp smells and mould building up in your bathroom.
It’s all about comfort, of course. If you don’t want to put on the heating in the rest of the house, having a standalone heater for the bathroom is the perfect solution.

Benefits of bathroom heating Aquatec

Making the right choice is important when deciding on what heating to choose. You might want a heater that will have a relatively immediate effect, something that’s helped by having a small space such as a bathroom. Or maybe simply want a system that hooks up to your central heating. Options include:

Underfloor heating: This is becoming increasingly popular because it’s very efficient, relatively easy to install and is low maintenance.
Heated towel rails: Many of our customers love the traditional towel rail, not least because it looks elegant on the wall. There’s nothing better than getting out of the bath or shower and having a warm towel to dry yourself with.

What you choose is going to depend largely on personal preference. Some might choose to have a mix of heat light and heated towel rail, for example, especially if they have a slightly larger bathroom space.

We use a wide range of suppliers and are able to deliver a variety of different solutions for your bathroom heating needs. These include:

Why Choose Aquatec Bathrooms in Salisbury?

Heating is probably the last thing you’ll consider when designing a new bathroom but it’s also one of the most important aspects of any installation. Whether you want your heating concealed or you love to see an elegant towel rail, we’ve got everything covered.

How to Choose the Best Bathroom Heating

Mon, 18 Apr 2022 12:53:06 GMT

For those thinking of redesigning their bathroom soon, there are plenty of options when it comes to heating one of the busiest rooms in any home.

The last thing you want is a great looking new bathroom that is cold during the winter mornings just when you need to go in for a shower or shave. But you also want your radiator or heated towel rail to look the part.

At Aquatec Bathrooms, we offer a range of different heating solutions for our customers. We can even provide you with the latest, state of the art heated toilet seats! Here are just some of the options you might want to consider:

Heated Towel Rails.
We most often associate bathroom heating with towel rails. Not only do these take up little space they can be put in anywhere and are great for keeping those towels nice and warm.

They do give off a little less heat than a traditional radiator but for small spaces, they are an easy and cheap way to keep your bathroom warm during the winter. Not to mention, the toasty towel heating benefits, allowing you to step out of a nice shower and enjoy a warm fluffy towel.
Designer Radiators.
If you want to give your bathroom a different look and feel and still save space, the range of designer radiators on the market today has grown over the last few years. You can find radiators of any size and shape to meet your needs.

At Aquatec Bathrooms, we aim to find the right heating solution and design that meets your needs. That means we’re constantly exploring new suppliers with whom we can build a partnership. One of these is Vogue UK , a company that produce a whole range of attractive designer radiators and towel warmers.
Underfloor Heating.
Another option, and one which is increasing in popularity, is underfloor heating. This is great if you don’t want a radiator but want to make sure that your bathroom is comfortably warm when you get up in the morning.

It works well if you have something like a tiled floor and is relatively easy to install. The underfloor heating is essentially a large mat that is laid out and connected to the electric mains. Today’s modern systems can be hooked up to a digital control with a timer so you can make sure your bathroom is at the right temperature before you step in.
Heated Toilet Seats
These may seem a little bit of an extravagance but they’re pretty popular with our customers at Aquatec Bathrooms. If you want to see how they work, you can pop into our showroom in Salisbury and even try them out.

Most seats have a range of temperature settings and you simply switch the device on before you sit down for the ultimate in comfort.

To ensure you are getting the most out of your bathroom space and your money, it’s worth making your heating choices before you start to redesign your bathroom. If you want more space, for instance, something like underfloor heating is ideal.

At Aquatec Bathrooms in Salisbury, we can work through all the options and give you access to a broad range of designs, shapes and sizes. Contact us today to find out more or visit our showroom.
