At Wetrooms Design, you will find everything you need to assemble and install a functional wetroom in your home. Our wet room shower trays are an essential component for any wetroom installation, creating a secure, waterproof surface and drain for your shower. These trays, available in various sizes and models, play a pivotal role in ensuring a leak-proof and efficient drainage system. Especially if you're considering wet room shower tray sizes, you'll be pleased to find a wide range to suit your chosen wetroom style.
Our wetroom shower trays are suitable for installation over both wooden and concrete floor materials. Whether you're considering a wet room tray kit or individual components, you can find comprehensive guides for waterproofing and installing on either material here:
Each of our shower trays feature an integrated linear or square channel with a connected waste trap that functions as the drainage system for your shower. Our square gully drains are integrated into three different drain positions, Centre, Offset or Corner. This allows more flexibility for installation if you have pipework in a position otherwise unworkable with our linear drain wet room shower trays.
Wet Room Shower Tray formers and their Importance
Each of our shower trays feature an integrated linear or square channel with a connected waste trap that functions as the drainage system for your shower. For those with specific plumbing needs, our square gully drains are designed to fit three different drain positions: Centre, Offset, or Corner. This design consideration ensures more flexibility for installation if you have pipework in a position otherwise unworkable with our linear drain wet room shower trays.
Distinguishing Wet Room Shower Trays from Wet Room Shower Drains
It's important to understand the relationship and distinction between wet room shower trays and shower drains:
- Wet Room Shower Trays: These are the foundational components of a wetroom. They offer a waterproof base and are designed to integrate a drainage system, ensuring efficient wastewater flow.
- Wet Room Shower Drains: These are specific drainage components, either elongated (linear) or square, that form an integral part of the wet room shower tray. They complement the tray to facilitate wastewater evacuation and, when chosen with design in mind, can add a sleek, modern look to the wetroom.
In essence, while the wet room shower tray provides the foundational base and slope, the wet room shower drain is the component that specifically manages the water flow. Together, they ensure the effective functioning of a wetroom.
Why choose a wetroom shower tray with linear or square drain
Wetroom shower trays, often referred to as wet room former tray or wetroom base, are integral to any wetroom installation. They work by forming a watertight base that can then be tiled over in your chosen bathroom decor style, whether you're opting for a tiled shower tray look or another finish. A tray with linear drain is an excellent choice for larger spaces, while our trays with square or corner drains are our recommended option for smaller showers.
How to install a wetroom shower tray
Installation is straightforward with our wetroom shower tray kits, which come with complete instructions. It's paramount to ensure a watertight seal when installing your wetroom. For specific finishes, like micro cement, our invisible range is perfect. In contrast, our VF shower trays are best suited for a vinyl floor finish due to its unique clamp feature. Always ensure that your shower tray aligns with the height of your surrounding subfloor for a seamless transition.

Linear drains are best suited for larger spaces due to their length and design, while square drains, including those in corner positions, are ideal for smaller shower trays. Moreover, the choice often boils down to your personal tastes and preferences.
