Premium Shower Trays for Every Bathroom

Choosing the Right Foundation for Your Shower

A shower tray forms the foundation of any shower enclosure, providing a stable, watertight base while directing water efficiently towards the waste outlet. Choosing the right shower tray is essential for both the appearance and functionality of your bathroom, with factors such as size, shape, profile, and materials all influencing the final result.

Modern shower trays are available in a variety of styles to suit different bathroom layouts. Rectangular shower trays are ideal for larger enclosures and walk-in showers, while square shower trays are a popular choice for compact bathrooms and en-suites. For corner installations, quadrant shower trays offer a practical way to maximise available space without compromising on comfort.

Different shower tray styles offer unique advantages depending on your bathroom design and installation requirements.

Low-profile shower trays are a popular choice for modern bathrooms thanks to their streamlined appearance and easy accessibility. Their slim design helps create a seamless look and can make smaller bathrooms feel more spacious.

Raised shower trays offer additional space beneath the tray for plumbing and waste pipework, making them particularly useful in renovation projects where floor excavation isn't practical.
