Made-to-measure resin shower trays
Resin shower trays with a slate texture: warm to the touch, anti-slip, hard-wearing and easy to maintain. They install flush or on top of the floor and can be cut to size on site, with a stainless-steel grille and waste included. Available in a wide range of sizes —from 70x80 up to 120x200 cm— and six standard colours, with RAL colours and special cuts to order. The ideal solution to replace a bathtub with a flush, accessible shower. Net price by size excl. VAT; tell us your exact size and we will quote it.

A made-to-measure tray solves the bathtub gap
Swapping a bathtub for a shower is the most common bathroom refurbishment, and it almost always hits the same snag: the opening left by the tub matches no standard size. It usually comes out at 168, 172 or 165 centimetres, while stock trays come in 160 or 170. Resin trays are cut to measure at the factory, so that opening is resolved exactly, with no packing out or filler trims.
Against the traditional ceramic tray, resin brings three practical advantages. It weighs far less, reducing the load on the slab and allowing handling without special equipment. It does not chip on impact, unlike ceramic glaze, which flakes and exposes the body underneath. And its surface is manufactured with the anti-slip texture built in, rather than as a surface treatment that wears away over the years.
Installation allows two approaches. Flush with the floor creates a step-free walk-in shower, which is the most accessible option and the one to choose if there are older people at home; it requires setting out the level and fall before tiling. Surface-mounted on the finished floor is simpler and avoids lowering anything, though it leaves a small upstand. In both cases the trap must remain accessible: it is the point that needs the most maintenance.
On the finish, we always insist on the same thing: anti-slip. The shower is the one place in the home where water, soap and bare feet coincide, and it is where most domestic slip accidents happen. The slate-style texture, beyond its function, also disguises limescale marks well. If the bathroom has porcelain flooring, coordinate the tray tone with the floor before confirming the order.
One more thing worth checking before ordering: the waste position. Resin trays usually allow a centred or off-centre outlet, and it must line up with the existing drain if you are not moving the plumbing. Measuring the current waste position before confirming the order avoids the most common cause of delay in a bathroom swap.
Frequently asked questions
- Can the tray be cut to an exact size?
- Yes, resin trays are cut to measure at the factory within each model's maximum dimensions. It is the standard solution when replacing a bathtub, because the resulting opening almost never matches a stock size. The final measurement must be given when confirming the order, as cutting happens before dispatch.
- What advantages does resin have over a ceramic tray?
- It weighs far less, which eases transport and reduces load on the slab; it does not chip on impact, unlike ceramic glaze; it can be cut to measure; and the anti-slip texture is built into the material rather than applied on top, so it is not lost with use.
- Is flush or surface-mounted better?
- Flush is more accessible and visually cleaner, but requires setting out the level and fall before tiling, so it must be decided at the start of the works. Surface-mounted is simpler and needs no lowering of the floor, though it leaves a small step. If there are older people at home, flush is the recommended option.
- How do you clean the anti-slip texture?
- With water, neutral soap and a soft brush; the relief holds slightly more limescale than a smooth surface, especially in hard-water areas. Avoid abrasives and strong acids, which degrade the finish over time. Rinsing after use greatly reduces build-up.
