Low Profile Shower Trays

A low profile shower tray makes the shower feel like part of the bathroom, rather than something placed in it. Sitting just 25mm to 40mm off the floor, the step almost disappears, the space opens up, and the whole room looks more intentional for it.

What is a low profile shower tray?

Few things do more for the feel of a bathroom than getting the shower tray right. A low profile tray sits between 25mm and 40mm off the floor, and while that doesn't sound dramatic, the effect is, as the step into the shower practically disappears, and the space opens up. Drainage needs slightly more planning than with a raised tray, but that's a one-time consideration that you’ll notice daily.

What's the difference between a low profile and a standard shower tray?

Standard trays sit higher off the floor, which is practical for drainage but leaves a step into the shower that some bathrooms could do without. Low profile trays bring everything closer to the ground, and the bathroom feels better for it. Fewer steps, more floor, and a finished result that looks considered rather than functional. Once you've seen one in a well-designed bathroom, the standard tray starts to look a bit dated by comparison.

Are low profile shower trays the same as shallow shower trays?

Yes. Low profile, shallow, slim line: three names for the same idea. A shower tray built to sit as close to the floor as the drainage allows. The label changes depending on who's selling it, but the tray doesn't.

Are low profile shower trays harder to install?

There are slightly more things to consider than with a raised tray, but it's straightforward with a bit of planning. With limited clearance beneath, the waste pipe needs a clear route sorted before installation starts, rather than improvising on the day. Timber subfloors on the ground floor tend to be the most accommodating; solid concrete needs a bit more preparation. Get the planning right, and the rest follows smoothly. Skip it, and you'll spend installation day wondering why you didn't. Our guide on how to fit a shower tray is worth a read before you start.

Do low profile shower trays work with all shower enclosures?

The slim profile has nothing to do with how the tray fits or seals; that's purely a question of size and shape. Rectangle shower trays go with rectangle enclosures, and quadrant shower trays with quadrant or offset quadrant enclosures. Buying both together? Check the dimensions before anything gets ordered to do future-you a favour.

What material are low profile shower trays made from?

Acrylic or stone resin, but they each have their place. Acrylic is lighter, warmer underfoot, and easier to manoeuvre in tight spaces with limited drainage clearance underneath. Stone resin feels more substantial to stand on and holds its finish well, but the extra weight can complicate installation, depending on the floor. The right one comes down to what the floor can accommodate and what you want the tray to feel like on an ordinary Tuesday morning.

How do I clean a low profile shower tray?

It’s straightforward, with one thing worth knowing. Because the tray sits so close to the floor, the silicone seal at the wall is right in the firing line for limescale and soap residue. A non-abrasive cleaner and soft cloth handle the surface well, and including the seal in the regular wipe-down keeps it doing its job properly. It’s the kind of two-minute habit that saves a much bigger job further down the line.
