What is a shower tray?

A shower tray (also known as a shower base), is the flooring of your shower enclosure.. The shower tray is responsible for directing the water from the shower to the drainage point. Without it, you’d likely experience flooding in the bathroom!

It’s worth mentioning that our shower trays are made in a wide range of sizes and shapes, so you’ll have no problem finding the right fit for your shower enclosure.

PearlStone (also known as Pearlstone Matrix) is a patented technology that includes a mixture of stone, volcanic ash and polyurethane resin - which together creates a perfectly sleek, highly durable and lightweight material.

Shower trays that are acrylic capped and made from PearlStone technology are one of the strongest and most durable options available on the market.

What is a shower tray riser kit?

A riser kit will provide you with adjustable legs that lift the shower tray up so that the pipework can fit underneath. The additional paneling will wrap around the base, hiding the plumbing away once fully fitted.

Please note that when a shower tray is fitted with a riser tray, you will have a small step to get into the shower. This may not be ideal if you require a fully accessible shower, or if your goal is to achieve a wet room style shower enclosure.

Do I need a shower tray riser kit?

This will depend on your shower layout and whether or not the waste pipe can be rebuilt to sink underneath the floor level, directly connecting to the rest of the plumbing.

If not, then it is likely that you’ll be installing your shower tray onto a slab of concrete or within a space that does not have enough joist space underneath - which is when you will require a riser kit. This will allow you to fit the pipework underneath the shower tray so that your shower can fully operate.

Do Royal Bathroom shower trays come with riser kits?

A wide selection of our shower trays come with riser kits included in the purchase price, but not all.

To avoid disappointment, ensure that you navigate to the filter section and select ‘riser kit included’.
