Small Shower Enclosures

What makes a small shower enclosure the right choice for your bathroom?

A small shower enclosure gives you comfortable standing room while leaving floor space free for other fixtures.

• Compact Footprint for Tight Layouts: Fitting shower cubicles for small bathrooms into tight corners helps save floor space. This keeps your room looking tidy and open.

• Versatile Range of Sizes: Sizes start from the smallest shower cubicle options at 660 x 660mm up to 800 x 800mm models. This makes picking a model that fits your wall space easy.

• Durable Safety Glass: Made with thick 6mm or 8mm safety glass, the easy clean glass stops soap scum from sticking. This means less scrubbing during daily cleaning.

Which door style works best in shower enclosures for small bathrooms?

Choosing the right door opening stops glass panels from hitting toilets, vanity units, or towel rails:

• Corner Entry Sliding Doors: Double doors glide neatly along the frame instead of swinging open into your room. Entering directly from the corner means you do not need extra floor space out front. This setup makes them ideal shower enclosures for small bathrooms where toilets or sinks sit close by.

• Inward Opening Pivot Doors: These glass doors hinge inward toward the shower tray rather than opening outward into your room. That means water drops stay contained inside the base as you shower. Surrounding floor space stays dry in shower enclosures small rooms rely on.

• Quadrant Sliding Doors: Curved glass doors slide back along the frame without swinging into the room. As a result, the rounded corner shape gives you extra walking room outside while keeping standing space generous inside a small shower enclosure.

Can you fit small walk in shower enclosures in compact bathrooms?

Installing small walk in shower enclosures brings a modern wet room look to compact spaces without needing full room tanking:

• Compact Wet Room Screens: Fixed walk in shower screens for small bathrooms come in 700mm to 800mm widths. They keep water spray contained while leaving the entrance completely open and doorway free.

• Optional Flipper Panels: Adding a short swivel flipper panel to walk in showers for small bathrooms catches end spray as you shower. Moving the glass panel inward keeps surrounding floor space dry while preserving wide entry clearance.

• Framed and Frameless Styles: Minimalist clear glass panels create a bright and airy feel in compact rooms. Bold framed grid patterns in matt black and brushed brass add a sleek modern look that matches your taps and shower valves.

*Browse matching bases in the Shower Trays section to complete your walk in setup.

How do you choose the smallest shower enclosure for your room?

You will need to measure the tray, enclosure size and the entrance clearance before choosing a small shower enclosure for a small bathroom. 

• Measure Wall Clearance: Check the wall dimensions at the top, middle, and bottom to account for uneven tiles before ordering. These three measurements will ensure the smallest shower enclosure fits your space perfectly.

• Bundle with Low Profile Trays: Pair the glass panels with matching stone resin trays to ensure a watertight seal and fast installation. 

• Optimise Vertical Space: Our enclosures come with standard 1850mm glass panel heights. This offers generous head clearance while keeping the bathroom looking bright and open. Taller glass panels also stop overhead water spray from splashing onto surrounding walls.
