How to Measure Your Shower Tray

This guide covers the most commontray types. First, some general points:

  • With oblong or square trays in a corner, always measure from the tile (ignoring any trim) to the edge of the tray.
  • With oblong or square trays in a recess measure tile to tile.
  • If your tray has a lipped edge (sometimes called an upstand), measure to the inside of the lip.
  • All shower door sizes are based on the original tray sizes. After a tray is fitted and walls are tiled, your final measurement is typically reduced by 20 - 40 mm. e.g. an 800 mm square tray will typically end up at around 775mm!
  • Just check your final measurement is within the doors adjustment range!

Square or Oblong Trays with two tiled walls (i.e in a corner)
