Quadrant shower trays make practical use of a bathroom corner, with two straight sides and a curved front that keeps the room-facing footprint compact. Browse different sizes and tray profiles, and check the matching enclosure dimensions carefully before ordering.

TAILS’ SHOWER TRAY TIP

Why Choose a Quadrant Shower Tray?

Quadrant shower trays are made for corner installations, with two straight sides against the walls and a curved edge facing into the bathroom. That rounded front removes the projecting outer corner of a square tray, which can make the shower feel less intrusive where floor space or movement around nearby fittings matters.

Choose the Right Quadrant Tray Size

Measure the finished corner first

Compact corner

An 800mm quadrant shower tray is worth considering where space is tight. Before choosing one, check the usable showering area as well as the clearance around the finished enclosure.

A little more room

A 900mm quadrant shower tray gives you more floor area where the bathroom can take the larger footprint. Check the full product drawing rather than relying on the headline size alone.

Larger quadrant footprint

Where both wall runs allow it, a 1000mm quadrant shower tray gives you a larger equal-sided footprint. Mark out the curved front too, so you can see how far the enclosure will project into the room.

Match the Tray and Enclosure

Check more than the headline size

Check the curved profile

Two quadrant trays can have the same nominal dimensions without sharing exactly the same front curve. Check the technical drawings for both the tray and enclosure so the frame, glass and seals follow the correct profile.

Leave room for the doors

Think about the enclosure as part of the footprint. Check how the doors open and whether there is comfortable access without clashing with a basin, toilet, furniture or the bathroom door.

Need More Length on One Side?

Consider an elongated corner tray

Look at offset quadrants

Standard quadrant trays normally have matching nominal dimensions along both wall-facing sides. If your bathroom gives you more usable length along one wall, an offset quadrant shower tray extends further in one direction while keeping the curved outer edge.

Check the Installation Details

Profile, drainage and waste matter too

Tray profile

Tray depths vary, so check the actual profile alongside your floor construction and drainage route. If keeping the tray height down is your main requirement, browse our low profile shower trays.

Waste position

Check the position of the waste opening against the drainage below the tray. Moving pipework can make an otherwise straightforward installation more involved, particularly where access beneath the floor is limited.

Waste compatibility

If a waste is not supplied, check the required outlet size before buying one separately. Browse our shower wastes once you know what your chosen tray requires.

DESIGNER’S NOTE

Mark the complete tray footprint on the finished floor before you order. We would include the curved front rather than marking only the two wall measurements, as that gives a much better feel for the space left around the basin, toilet, furniture and doorway.

Quadrant Shower Tray FAQs

Common questions before ordering

What is a quadrant shower tray?

A quadrant shower tray fits into a bathroom corner, with two straight wall-facing sides and a curved front. Standard quadrants normally have matching nominal dimensions along both walls, creating a balanced corner footprint.

What size quadrant shower tray should I choose?

Measure the finished corner and think about the usable room inside the enclosure as well as the space left around it. Once you know the available footprint, compare the appropriate 800mm, 900mm or 1000mm quadrant tray range.

Will any quadrant enclosure fit the same size tray?

No. The nominal dimensions may match while the front curve, edge profile or enclosure fitting range differs. Check the technical drawings for the tray and enclosure together before ordering, especially if they come from different ranges.

Do quadrant shower trays come with a waste?

It depends on the product. Some trays include a suitable waste while others require one separately. Check the individual listing for the waste-hole size and what's supplied, then browse our shower wastes if you need one.
