Raised Shower Trays | Raised Shower Trays and Enclosures
A raised shower tray creates space beneath for the waste pipe to run freely, meaning no cutting into the subfloor or wrestling with complicated drainage. Straightforward to install, and ideal for retrofits and upstairs bathrooms.
Most shower trays sit as close to the floor as possible. A raised shower tray takes the opposite approach, and for good reason. Sitting on legs or a frame rather than directly on the subfloor, it creates space underneath for the waste pipe to run freely. You may notice a small step up into the shower, which, to most, is worth the simplicity of installation, especially for upstairs bathrooms or rooms where cutting into the floor isn't an option.
Height, and everything that follows from it. Low-profile trays sit close to the floor and look sleek for it, but they demand more from the installation, particularly around drainage planning. Raised trays trade that minimal look for something more practical: the waste pipe has room to go where it needs to, without any groundwork. For retrofits and upstairs bathrooms especially, that's often the more useful quality to have.
Yes. In fact, buying both together is best, removing the guesswork around dimensions long before it arrives on your doorstep. Browse our shower enclosures alongside the trays, and put together a combination that works for you.
Not every bathroom calls for one, but when the conditions are right, nothing else makes as much sense. Upstairs bathrooms, retrofits, and rooms with solid concrete floors are where raised trays genuinely earn their place; a low-profile drainage run simply has nowhere to go in those situations. They're also worth considering for anyone who wants a clean, uncomplicated installation, without groundwork, specialist tiling, or any of the disruption that comes with sunken tray setups.
The height of the tray has no bearing on how it fits against an enclosure. That comes down to size and shape, as it does with any tray. Rectangle shower trays pair with rectangle enclosures, and quadrant shower trays with quadrant or offset quadrant enclosures. If you’re buying both together, confirm the dimensions match before ordering, because two minutes now is far easier than a return later.
The same as any other tray, with one area worth paying extra attention to. The step and the frame tend to collect soap residue and limescale around the edges in a way the tray floor doesn't, so including them in the regular cleaning makes a real difference over time. A non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth handle everything well. Stay on top of it, and it stays manageable; let it build up, and it becomes considerably more work.
It’s simpler than most people expect, and simpler than a low-profile tray in most cases. The tray sits on adjustable legs or a pre-built frame, gets levelled, and is sealed to the wall with silicone. The adjustable legs do a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to getting things level, especially on an uneven floor. Remember, our guide on how to fit a shower tray covers every step.
