Our range features trays as small as 800mm x 700mm to as large as 2000mm x 900mm. So, whatever your tray size requirements might be, we have an option that will comfortably fit your space.

Explore the Most Popular Rectangular Tray Sizes

Though rectangular shower trays are available in many different sizes, there are some that are more popular than others. Here are the most popular rectangular tray sizes in each size category:

Small & Space-Saving Options

The most popular space-saving option is a 800mm x 700mm rectangular shower tray. A tray of this size offers a comfortable amount of shower space without taking up valuable floor area. If you'd like a little more room, you can step up to an 800mm x 760mm tray for a slightly larger, more comfortable showering area.

Versatile Mid-Range Sizes for Standard Bathrooms

For standard UK bathrooms, the most popular rectangular shower tray size is 900mm x 700mm. This mid-range option provides a generous showering area without overwhelming the room, which makes it a reliable choice for a wide range of bathroom layouts.

Large Trays for Walk-In and Luxurious Setups

Among UK homeowners with large bathrooms, the most popular rectangular shower tray size is 1200mm x 900mm. The good news is that when it comes to large trays for walk-in and luxurious showering setups, you have a lot of even bigger-sized options - the largest of which is 2000mm x 900mm.

Choose the Right Tray Type for Your Bathroom

There are several different types of rectangular shower trays that you can choose from. Here is an overview of each option and what makes it suitable for different bathrooms:

Bath Replacement Trays

Bath replacement trays are the perfect choice for homeowners who want to convert their bathtub into a practical showering area without altering the existing footprint. By choosing the right bath replacement tray, the bath-to-shower conversion will require significantly less changes in your plumbing, which will save you a lot of time, effort, and money.

Standard Trays

Standard trays offer a solution that the large majority of UK homeowners can depend on. Thanks to their straightforward design and variety in terms of colours and sizes, they can easily find their place in almost any bathroom design and layout.

Upstand Trays 

Upstand shower trays feature raised edges. As a result, they are not only easy to access, but they're also great at preventing water from splashing outside the shower area. This greatly reduces the risk of water damage over time.

Walk-In Trays

Walk-in shower trays are the perfect choice for creating a seamless and modern look. These trays work particularly well in walk-in and wet-room-style setups, as they provide a stable surface with efficient drainage while maintaining a minimalist appearance.

Beyond their ability to complement a variety of contemporary bathroom designs, their low-profile build makes access easy. This makes them particularly useful for households that prioritise comfort and ease of movement.

Finishes, Colours & Textures to Suit Any Interior

At Heat and Plumb, our rectangular shower trays are available in a wide variety of finishes, colours, and textures, making it easy to find a tray that suits the style of your bathroom. Here are some of the most popular options that we have available:

Classic Gloss White

Classic gloss white shower trays are by far the most popular choice among UK homeowners. They offer a clean and timeless look that can work with virtually any enclosure or tile design, making them an easy and reliable choice for most bathrooms.

Slate Effect Styles

Slate-effect trays are a popular choice for homeowners who want to add character and visual depth to their shower area. They're ideal for modern spaces and can pair beautifully with natural stone tiles, black fixtures, or minimalist walk-in enclosures.

Textured or Anti-Slip Surfaces

For added reassurance underfoot, textured or anti-slip surfaces can provide extra grip in wet conditions without compromising on style. This makes these types of trays popular among households where style and safety need to work hand in hand.
