Choosing the right tray is crucial for a bathroom that meets your needs for style and practicality. Whether you want to maximise space in a small bathroom or create a luxurious showering area the right tray size will make all the difference.
Standard Wet Room Shower Tray Sizes
At Wetrooms Design we have a range of standard shower tray sizes to fit different bathroom layouts and personal preferences.
Here are the square shower trays sizes:
For those who prefer rectangular shower trays, we have sizes:
Each standard shower tray has a linear drain of varying sizes from 500 mm to 900 mm for efficient water drainage. This gives you the choice of the perfect tray to fit your space and design. Additionally, we also offer shower trays with square drains, providing even more flexibility in your bathroom layout.
Choosing the Right Shower Tray Size for Your Bathroom
Choosing the right tray size is about balancing the needs of your space with your personal preferences:
Small Bathrooms: Maximizing Limited Space
For small bathrooms go for square trays like the 800 x 800 mm or 900 x 900 mm options, they use the space efficiently and still give you a comfortable showering area.
Large Bathrooms: A Spacious Showering Area
In larger bathrooms, rectangular trays like the 1000 x 1500 mm give you more space and luxury in the shower, enough room to relax and enjoy your shower.
Functionality vs Aesthetics
Consider the overall bathroom design and how the tray will fit with the bathroom wall and floor level. The right tray size should match your bathroom design and give you practical benefits. Use our Shower Tray Size Calculator to find the perfect tray that fits to your bathroom

Thickness Options. Choosing the Right Tray Depth
When choosing a shower tray the thickness is just as important as the width and length. These trays are available in three standard thicknesses:
The overall thickness will depend on the floor finish you will be using, microcement, vinyl or tiles. You need to consider how the tray depth will sit with the surrounding floor level to get a smooth level installation.
Installation and Flooring Considerations
Proper installation is key to the life and performance of your shower tray. Whether you’re using a standard tray size or a bespoke solution, make sure the tray is installed correctly and the floor is prepared properly to prevent water leaks and other problems.
For more information on installation and flooring considerations see our timber floor or concrete floor installation guide.
