What separates them
A walk-in shower sits in a tray with a screen. A wet room waterproofs the whole room and drains through a gradient formed in the floor.
Construction and cost
Wet rooms need full tanking and a formed fall, so they cost more and depend on floor build-up. Walk-in showers suit most existing floors.
Accessibility
Level-access wet rooms are the better choice where step-free entry matters, and can be combined with grab rails and a seat.
Living with them
Both need good extraction. Wet rooms feel more open but spread moisture, so sensible screening keeps the rest of the room usable.
