Shower tray or built-in shower?
One of the standard changes when renovating bathrooms is to replace the bathtub with a shower, taking into account the following:
- Value-for-money and sustainability: saving water.
- Ergonomics and accessibility: more space in the bathroom and easier access.
Once this decision has been made, you’ll need to choose between installing a custom shower tray or building a built-in shower. Both options have their advantages and disadvantages: the final choice will be based on your budget, the duration and complexity of the work and the look and feel you’re going for.
Let’s break it down into a grid to help you make the right decision:
| Advantages of a shower tray | Disadvantages of a shower tray |
| Light and slimline.
Easy installation and maintenance. Repairable. Less expensive. And if you go for a Solid Surface: quality, resistance, durability, unlimited designs and colors that stay vibrant over time. |
Limited dimensions.
Aesthetics, if you prefer uniformity with the tiles or with the color of the walls. |
| Advantages of a built-in shower tray | Disadvantages of a built-in shower tray |
| Greater flexibility in terms of dimensions.
It mimics the wall, regardless of whether it is built-in or made of other materials such as tiles. |
Complex assembly: multiple technicians will need to intervene, installation of tarpaulin, ensuring the correct slope for drainage… = higher total cost
More complicated maintenance and risk of humidity. |
