If you are of a certain age, you will remember the days when the bathroom was nothing more than a functional space, with little thought given to the d’cor or furniture. If you’re not old enough to recall these Spartan conditions, ask your parents and I’m sure they’ll be able to give you details of what bathrooms were like in the old days! In fact, for the majority of people, the bathrooms we used when we were growing up didn’t even have heating, never mind designer bathroom furniture. This lack of heating made bathing more of an endurance sport than something to be enjoyed, but this has certainly changed. These days there is a fantastic choice when it comes to furniture and radiators which will give your bathroom the finishing touch, whether you are thinking of completely refurbishing the room or just replacing smaller items such as taps and shower heads. Even little changes such as these can give bathrooms a fresh new look when you combine them with new cabinets and other accessories such as mirrors and towel rails. Another way to enhance the look of the room without spending a fortune is to replace old fashioned radiators with sleek new designer panels. Whatever style you are looking for when it comes to bathrooms, Victoria Plumb will be able to give you plenty of inspiration. Have a look at some of the great ideas for the bathroom or shower room, and you are sure to find something perfect for your home.

 

PostHeaderIcon Why Buy a Small Shower Tray?

 

Small shower trays are being seen more regularly in bathrooms across the UK. Their size is perfect for small cloakrooms and bathrooms, shower rooms and even mid to larger bathrooms. These humble, inconspicuous small shower trays are now getting the spotlight for their versatility in bathrooms, whether contemporary or classically styled. Small shower trays are more widely available than ever, in a host of different shapes, sizes, materials and fitting options.

This is a quick, handy guide to small shower trays, and which style, shapes, sizes and products are available in the UK.

So, firstly, in terms of size, what defines small shower trays?

Small shower trays are defined by their length by width measurement, which is generally between 700mm and 900mm. Not surprisingly, the smallest of the small shower trays, the 700 shower tray is the most popular shower tray among most manufacturers. There are a number of different sized small shower trays to choose from: there’s 760mm shower trays, 800mm shower trays, 700mm x 900mm shower trays, 760mm x 900mm shower trays and 800mm x 900mm shower trays. There are plenty of shower tray configurations, and there’s one to fit any style or layout of bathroom.

What are the shapes and styles of small shower trays?

 

Small shower trays can be found in a range of styles and shapes. Depending on which type of shower enclosure you go for, you can choose from small square shower trays, rectangle shower trays, quadrant shower trays, offset quadrant shower trays, pentangle and offset pentangle shower trays (also known as neo angle shower trays) and u or d shape shower trays. There are also a range of dedicated shower trays, such as bow-square or bow-rectangular shower trays available to suit specific shower enclosures.

With small shower trays, their fitting options vary depending on the tray’s design. One option is to fit your small shower tray directly to the floor or ‘sunken’ into the floor, installing the plumbing and drainage underneath the flooring. This is particularly effective with low profile or slimline shower trays (LWCC and Manhattan Showers have these products), but also works well with standard shower trays. Sometimes, however, this is difficult for some as they can’t access the under-floor space, or have concrete floors.

When installing plumbing under the floor is an issue, some choose to raise the shower tray above floor level using a leg and panel pack, or otherwise to sink the tray into a platform or plinth, which can be built and designed to give a minimalist wet room style.

What are small shower trays made of?

Small shower trays are most widely available in either an acrylic or a stone resin mixture. Acrylic shower trays, such as Manhattan Duralite Shower Trays, are favoured by some for their strength, durability and beautiful finish. The slimline “Ultra 40” is a pure acrylic shower tray, also from Manhattan, is popular because of its minimalist looks and manufacturer’s guarantee. People often choose to purchase acrylic shower trays because they are lightweight, easy to install and affordable.

Stone resin shower trays are also popular, and have a number of features and benefits. They are heavier than acrylic shower trays, as they are made of a stone and resin mixture, sometimes capped with ABS acrylic. The look of stone resin shower trays is one of their benefits – they are stylish and contemporary, and often come with generous manufacturer’s guarantees.

In terms of price, stone resin shower trays and acrylic shower trays are affordable and comparable in cost. The difference between the two is the style, the sort of fitting you require and is predominately decided on personal preference and perceived quality.

Where can I buy small shower trays?

MX Group, Manhattan Showers and London Water Closet Company (LWCC) are major UK manufacturers that supply small shower trays to online bathroom company BathroomTrade (co.uk). Their products, as mentioned above, are available in this online store and these small shower trays are available in several variations of size and shapes.

Small shower trays will continue to be popular, due to their size, adaptability to bathrooms, regardless of style, and there’s one out there guaranteed to suit your bathroom perfectly.
