Grey Bathroom Collection - Shower Trays

Start by measuring the available floor area where the shower will sit, then match that to the common tray sizes shown here, 800 x 800mm or 900 x 900mm for compact enclosures, 1200 x 800mm or 1400 x 900mm for standard family bathrooms, and up to 1700 x 800mm or 1800 x 800mm for larger walk-in showers. Think about the shortest side as well as the longest side, since many trays come in 700, 800 or 900mm widths. If you're tight on space a quadrant or square tray can save room in a corner, while a rectangular tray works well for long, linear enclosures. Always allow a little extra clearance for the shower door or screen swing.

Stone resin trays offer a solid, heavy feel and excellent durability; the slate-effect finish resists stains and keeps its look with simple cleaning. They retain heat better than thin acrylic trays and are less prone to flexing, so they feel more substantial underfoot. On the downside they're heavier to handle and usually cost more than basic acrylic options, but they do give a high-end, natural-stone appearance that suits modern bathrooms. Brands here such as Mira Flight and RAK Feeling use stone resin in a range of grey tones and slate textures.

Low-profile refers to a reduced tray height, with options shown here at roughly 25mm, 30mm and 40mm, which makes the step into the shower much smaller. That slimmer rim creates a neater, more accessible entry and a contemporary look, a RAK Feeling low profile tray in 1200 x 800mm. If you want near-level access without a completely flush wet-room floor, a low-profile tray is a practical compromise. For a truly flush finish you'd typically pair a tray design specifically intended for level-floor installation.

For a small ensuite you'll often find a quadrant or compact square tray (800 x 800mm or 900 x 900mm) gives you usable showering space while leaving room for a basin and door swing. In a family bathroom a long rectangular tray such as 1700 x 700mm, 1600 x 900mm or 1400 x 800mm offers more room to move and suits sliding or hinged doors. A rectangular tray also works well when replacing a bath with a shower, whereas quadrant trays are ideal for fitting neatly into a corner to maximise open floor space.

Yes, the grey slate look is extremely versatile: light grey tones sit well with white tiles and chrome fittings for a crisp, minimalist scheme, while darker slate pairs beautifully with matte black fixtures for an industrial or contemporary look. Stone-resin trays with a textured slate effect also complement natural materials like timber-look tiles and stone mosaics. If you want a striking contrast, match a dark tray with lighter tiles; for a calm, seamless feel pick a mid-tone grey to blend with your chosen accessories.
