Raised Square Shower Trays

Measure the floor area where the tray will sit and match the tray to the enclosure you plan to use, since these trays are square and come in common sizes of 700, 760, 800, 900 and 1000 mm per side. For a tight cloakroom, a 700 or 760 mm tray usually fits well; an 800 mm tray suits a typical ensuite; and 900–1000 mm gives a much more spacious shower in a family bathroom. Also allow clearance for the shower door or screening when you decide the exact size.

Acrylic trays are finished in a full acrylic surface that feels warm and is easy to polish out minor marks, while acrylic-capped ABS uses a tough ABS base with an acrylic surface for rigidity and impact resistance. Acrylic-capped ABS is often more robust and cost-effective for everyday family use, whereas full acrylic can feel slightly more luxurious and repairable. If you want durability on a budget, acrylic-capped ABS is sensible; if finish and ease of touch-up matter, consider acrylic.

The range offers both non-slip and smooth finishes (about half and half across the collection), so pick non-slip if you're buying for a family bathroom or if someone in the home has reduced mobility, as the textured surface improves safety. Smooth trays give a sleeker look and are marginally easier to wipe clean, making them popular for guest ensuites where style is a priority. the Podium non-slip models combine safety with a modern square profile for everyday family use.

Yes, raised square trays are designed for solid-floor situations or where you cannot take up the floor because they provide the space you need for plumbing beneath the tray. Each tray also comes with a set of adjustable legs so you can get the tray level while keeping that under-tray access. That makes a raised tray a good choice if chasing the screed for waste pipes is not possible.

Most products in our range are shown as "with waste," so a waste fitting is included, and the product description notes adjustable legs are supplied to help with levelling. The two main brands here, Hydrolux and Podium, both offer raised square trays in the 700–1000 mm range; Hydrolux models tend to be very competitively priced and highly rated, while Podium's options often include non-slip finishes and sit a little higher in price.
