What To Consider When Buying A Shower Tray?

You will need a tray for your shower to match the enclosure. This expert buying guide will help you choose the right size for your bathroom.

This article will give you an overview of the different types of shower trays available and the important things to consider when purchasing one.

Shapes for shower trays

Your shower tray should match the shape of your shower enclosure. This will ensure that water does not+

 escape. You should consider which shape is best for your bathroom, taking into account how the doors open and whether you need additional space.

Square shower tray

The square shower tray can be used with many door styles including bi-fold doors. This makes it an excellent choice for small bathrooms.

Rectangular shower tray

These larger shower doors can be used in conjunction with rectangular ones. A rectangular shower tray, however, will allow for more space than a square one.


Quadrant shower tray

The quadrant shower tray has a curved front that can be used to attach a pair of sliding or hinged doors. It creates a luxurious enclosure that fits into any corner.

A quadrant offset shower tray, which combines rectangular and curved forms, is also available. It offers a slightly larger space-saving design.

Shower trays with shaped shapes

These are the most unusual shapes, such as pentagonal, D-shaped, or P-shaped shower trays. They can be used with matching enclosures.

Shower trays for walk-in use

A specific walk-in shower tray is required if you want to purchase a walk-in shower enclosure. These can be found in our walk-in shower tray buying guide.

Shower tray sizes

You can always create a complete shower system with our standard size shower trays. To ensure you have the right size, measure your bathroom and consider how big a shower door that opens outwardly.

Materials for shower trays

ABS acrylic capped rock resin

This material is made of shards from stone, which are moulded in a special resin and polished after it is finished. The acrylic cap protects the stone core and makes the surface more durable and scratch-resistant.

Acrylic

This popular option for shower trays is durable and modern. It will last for many years and can be easily cleaned. It is also non-slippery in wet conditions.

Our shower trays almost all come with an acrylic coating. Whether you choose polyurethane foam or stone resin, you can be sure of a high-quality product.

Flat or raised?

There are options to raise shower trays on a plinth or riser. These can support pipework that isn’t already on the floor, like the wastewater draining away. We offer a variety of shower tray risers that can be adjusted with clip-on panels and legs.

You can choose a slimline tray with a lower profile if the plumbing is on the floor.

Colors for shower tray

While most shower trays are white, we stock black trays with granite effect finishes that can be used to add contrast to bathroom decor or even trendy grey ones.
