Deep Square Shower Trays

Start by measuring the footprint where the tray will sit and match it to the available sizes — these deep square trays come in common dimensions such as 760 x 760mm, 800 x 800mm and 900 x 900mm. If you have a compact en‑suite, a 760mm tray gives you a practical showering area without crowding the room; a 900mm tray suits a family bathroom where you want more space. Also check the internal size of your proposed enclosure so the trays and doors line up neatly. Choosing the closest standard size avoids awkward gaps and makes sealing and finishing simpler.

Deep means the tray has higher, well‑defined walls compared with low‑profile options, creating a raised lip around the shower. That extra height gives a classic look and helps keep water inside the shower, so floors stay drier and less slippery after use. You’ll notice less splash in a wet room or small bathroom, which is useful if you have minimal drainage runs beside the tray. The trade‑off is a small step up into the shower rather than a flush‑floor entrance.

Stone resin is dense and robust, making these trays highly resistant to scratches and chipping while feeling solid underfoot; the range here is specifically stone resin for long life. Unlike thin acrylic, stone resin won’t flex as much and retains a neutral, durable finish that blends with many decors. For a busy household or a frequently used ensuite, stone resin offers a tougher surface and better longevity. A family bathroom with kids, for example, benefits from the hardwearing nature of stone resin over time.

The 4 upstands are short vertical lips added to all four sides of the tray to provide extra protection where the tray meets tiled walls or enclosure profiles. They’re particularly useful if you plan to tile right down to the tray or want extra water containment in an alcove installation. For instance, fitting a tray with four upstands in a tiled bathroom reduces the chance of water seeping behind the tiles and simplifies creating a watertight junction. If you’re boxing the tray in on multiple sides, upstands give an added peace of mind.

Clean the tray regularly with warm water and a mild, non‑abrasive cleaner to remove soap and lime scale, then rinse and dry to maintain the neutral finish. Avoid abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals that could dull the surface; the stone resin is tough but benefits from gentle care. For occasional stubborn marks, use a manufacturer‑recommended stone resin cleaner or a soft cloth with a paste of baking soda and water. Because the trays resist chipping and scratching, simple routine cleaning will keep them looking good for years.
