What is a deep shower tray?

Standard shower trays do the job in most bathrooms. But pair one with a walk-in shower or a high-flow shower head, and the limitations become obvious fairly quickly. Deep shower trays have higher walls than a standard tray, with the capacity to handle more water, without it going where it shouldn't. The higher sides also give the shower area a more defined, finished look, which is a useful bonus.

What's the difference between a deep and an extra deep shower tray?

Depth, simply. Deep shower trays offer more capacity than a standard tray; extra deep trays take that further still. The right choice depends on the shower setup, how much water your shower produces, and whether the tray is going into a walk-in or enclosed space. If you're unsure which depth suits your project, our team can help you work it out before you order.

What deep shower trays are available?

We currently stock three trays to suit different setups. The 40mm Square Anti-Slip tray comes in sizes from 700mm up to a generous 900mm, with a textured surface for secure footing. The 40mm Quadrant Anti-Slip tray has a curved front that tucks into a corner, in 800mm and 900mm, making the most of a smaller bathroom. And the Stone Resin Square 760 x 760mm tray is stronger and more rigid than acrylic, with a waste included and a near-flush finish.

Do deep shower trays work with all shower enclosures?

Depth isn't the compatibility issue here; size and shape are. A deep tray fits and seals against an enclosure in exactly the same way a standard one does, so that part looks after itself. What needs to match is the footprint. Rectangle shower trays pair with rectangle enclosures, quadrant shower trays with quadrant or offset quadrant enclosures. If you're buying both at the same time, confirm the dimensions before you order, to save your future self a lot of hassle.

Are deep shower trays suitable for walk-in showers?

In many cases, they're the better choice. Walk-in showers have no enclosure to keep water contained, so the tray has to do more of that work on its own. The higher walls of a deep tray do just that, creating a shower that feels more considered and better contained.

What material are deep shower trays made from?

Mostly stone resin or acrylic, although the two are quite different in practice. Stone resin is the more common choice for deeper trays; heavier and more solid underfoot, it holds its shape well and feels substantial in a way that acrylic doesn't always match. Acrylic is lighter and easier to handle on installation day, which makes it a sensible option where access is tight or the project calls for a more straightforward fit. Both work well; the right one depends on the space and how the tray is going in.

How do I clean a deep shower tray?

Much the same as any other tray, with one extra thing to factor in. The higher sides mean there's more surface area to cover, and the join between the walls and the base is a spot where soap residue and limescale like to feel at home. A non-abrasive cleaner and soft cloth handle the floor well, with a regular wipe-down of the inner walls, keeping things from building up. Little and often makes a bigger difference here than it does with a standard tray.

How to fit a deep shower tray

The same process as any standard tray: set on a mortar bed or adjustable feet, levelled, and sealed to the wall with silicone. The added depth can make manoeuvring into position slightly more difficult, particularly in a tight space, so an extra pair of hands on installation day is a good idea.
