Square Shower Trays

Introductory Buyer-Focused Overview

Square shower trays are one of the most versatile and space-efficient options for modern bathrooms. Their simple design and symmetrical shape allows them to fit comfortably into corners, alcoves, or more open layouts - making them a suitable choice for bathrooms of all sizes.

Beyond their practicality, square shower trays are also available in different materials, heights, colours, and textures, allowing you to choose a tray that matches your preferred style and installation needs.

At Heat and Plumb, we stock a wide range of square shower trays from some of the industry's most trusted brands. This means you can shop with complete confidence, knowing that any tray you choose is built to deliver long-lasting performance.

Colours and Finishes Available

Due to their popularity, square shower trays are available in a number of different colours and finishes to suit a wide range of bathroom styles. At Heat and Plumb, the colour most of our customers go for is white - and it's easy to see why.

White square shower trays are versatile, timeless, and easy to pair with almost any enclosure style or bathroom décor. Other colours and finishes, such as black, grey, and beige are also available for those who want something a little different.

Popular Square Shower Tray Sizes

At Heat and Plumb, we've sold tens of thousands of square shower trays over the years, and based on our own data, some of the most popular sizes among UK homeowners are:

• 700mm x 700mm: This is the most compact option we have available, which is often the top choice for very small bathrooms, cloakrooms, and ensuites where space is limited.
• 760mm x 760mm: A slightly roomier alternative for bathrooms that can afford a slightly bigger shower enclosure without overwhelming the available space.
• 800mm x 800mm: This is the most popular size among UK homeowners. It provides a generous amount of internal space while still fitting comfortably in most standard bathrooms.
• 900mm x 900mm: A great choice for homeowners who prefer a more spacious showering area. This size is well-suited to slightly larger bathrooms and open-plan designs.
• 1000mm x 1000mm: A spacious option that provides plenty of room to move around, which makes it ideal for larger bathrooms or anyone who prefers a more comfortable showering experience.
• 1200mm x 1200mm: The biggest square shower tray size we have available. Though less popular due to its sheer size, it's often the top choice for bathrooms where space is not an issue.

Which Square Shower Tray Do I Need?

The square shower tray you need will depend on a number of factors, including the size of your bathroom, the dimensions of your shower enclosure, your preferred tray height, and the type of flooring you have. Here are a couple of scenarios and what the best option might look like:

• If you have a small bathroom: A compact 700mm x 700mm tray will usually be the best option. A tray of this size will help you maximise floor space while still providing a comfortable showering area.
• If you have a larger bathroom: You'll have more flexibility when it comes to shower tray sizes. Depending on your layout, you can choose anything from a compact 700mm x 700mm tray to a much larger 1200mm x 1200mm model or even bigger if your space allows.
• If you need easy access: A low-profile tray would be ideal - just make sure that it is of the correct size to match your shower enclosure.
• If you're working with uneven floor: An adjustable or riser kit may be needed. These kits can help you elevate the tray slightly, which will give you easier access to pipework and make the installation process easier.

If you're unsure which tray is best for your bathroom, review your enclosure specifications and check your bathrooms layout. This will help narrow down your options. And if you need any additional guidance, our customer support team is always available to help you choose a tray that fits both your installation requirements and your design preferences.
