Guide

Your Guide to Stone Shower Trays

Why Choose a Bespoke Stone Shower Tray?

Most shower trays you’ll find on the market are mass-produced from acrylic or resin composite — manufactured in a handful of standard sizes and shipped by the thousand. If your shower space doesn’t match those sizes exactly, you’re left with awkward gaps, filler strips, or compromises on the layout you actually wanted.

A bespoke stone shower tray is different. We start with your exact measurements, your preferred material, and the finish that suits your bathroom design. Our stonemasons then hand-craft your tray from a single slab of premium stone — cut, shaped, and finished to fit your space precisely. There are no standard sizes. No catalogue of options to scroll through. Every tray we make is a one-off, created specifically for you.

This is what real stonemason craftsmanship looks like. It’s the same attention to detail that’s earned us a 4.9-star reputation from over 90 reviews — and it’s why families across Portsmouth, Hampshire and the surrounding area trust us with their bathrooms as well as their kitchens.

What Makes Our Shower Trays Truly Custom?

Made to Your Exact Dimensions

Whether you’re working with a standard rectangular enclosure, an angled corner space, or a completely irregular alcove, we fabricate your shower tray to the millimetre. No gaps, no trims, no “making do” — just a perfect fit that looks like it was always meant to be there.

Your Choice of Material

Not every stone is right for every shower. We guide you through the options based on how you use your bathroom, the look you want to achieve, and the level of maintenance you’re comfortable with. You’ll see and touch real samples in our showroom before making a decision.

Your Preferred Finish

From a smooth, polished surface that gleams underfoot to a textured, sandblasted finish that provides reliable grip in wet conditions — you decide how your tray feels as well as how it looks. This is the level of customisation that only a dedicated stonemason workshop can deliver.

Drainage Designed In

Linear drains, central waste points, or gully channels — the drainage solution is integrated during fabrication, not added as an afterthought. We precision-cut the drain recess directly into the stone, ensuring a clean, seamless appearance that’s also fully functional.

Choosing the Right Material

Granite — Natural Strength and Character

Granite is one of the hardest natural stones available, making it an excellent choice for shower trays where durability matters most. Each slab carries unique mineral patterns and depth that engineered materials simply can’t replicate. When properly sealed, granite handles constant water exposure beautifully. A textured finish provides natural grip, and the stone develops a subtle character over years of use that many homeowners find even more appealing.

Best for: Master bathrooms, traditional or transitional designs, and homeowners who value the depth and warmth of genuine natural stone.

Sintered Stone — Engineered for Wet Environments

Brands like Dekton and Neolith produce ultra-compact surfaces that are purpose-built for moisture. They’re completely non-porous, chemically resistant, and impervious to water absorption — making them arguably the most practical choice for a shower tray that will see daily use. Available in large formats and a wide range of designs, sintered stone gives you the visual drama of natural materials with near-zero maintenance.

Best for: Family bathrooms, high-use showers, and anyone who wants maximum resilience with the least upkeep.

Porcelain — Versatile and Design-Led

Large-format porcelain slabs offer an extraordinary range of aesthetics — from faithful marble reproductions to raw concrete effects and abstract patterns — at a competitive price point. Porcelain is completely waterproof, non-porous, and available in both thin and standard thicknesses. It’s also lighter than granite, making it practical for upper-floor bathrooms where weight is a consideration.

Best for: Design-led bathrooms, open-plan wet zones, and projects where visual variety and budget flexibility matter.

Design Possibilities

Flush-Mounted (Level Access)

The most popular option for modern bathrooms. Your stone tray is set level with the surrounding floor, creating a seamless, step-free transition into the shower area. This isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s safer, more accessible, and makes the entire bathroom feel more spacious. A precisely calculated gradient fall within the tray directs water to the drain.

Raised Tray with Stone Upstand

For bathrooms where a level floor isn’t practical — perhaps due to drainage constraints or an older floor structure — we can fabricate a stone tray with a low-profile upstand that contains the water while still looking intentional and premium. The sides are polished smooth and the edges profiled to your preference.

Matching the Full Bathroom

One of the most rewarding aspects of a bespoke stone shower tray is the ability to match it perfectly to your vanity top, bath surround, or wall panels. Because we fabricate everything in-house from the same slab where possible, the colour, veining, and finish remain consistent across every surface. This level of visual cohesion simply isn’t possible with off-the-shelf trays.

Practical Considerations

Anti-Slip and Safety

Safety underfoot is paramount in a shower. We offer a range of surface textures that provide reliable grip without sacrificing the premium appearance of the stone. Sandblasting, bush-hammering, and textured finishes all create effective anti-slip surfaces. We’ll recommend the best option for your chosen material and discuss it with you during the showroom visit.

Waterproofing and Tanking

The stone tray itself is the visible surface, but beneath it sits a full tanking system that makes the structure completely watertight. This membrane wraps beneath and around the tray, including all junctions and the drain assembly. We work alongside your builder or bathroom installer to ensure this layer is correctly installed before the stone goes down.

Gradient Falls and Drainage

Every shower tray we make is fabricated with a built-in gradient fall towards the drain — typically 1:80 across the surface. This is precision-engineered during fabrication, not left to chance during installation. The result is efficient water flow with no pooling, and a surface that still feels flat and comfortable underfoot.

Weight and Floor Structure

Natural stone is a dense material, and a full-size shower tray in granite or sintered stone carries meaningful weight. During our initial survey, we assess your floor structure and subfloor to confirm it can support the tray without reinforcement. If additional support is needed, we’ll advise on the options before fabrication begins.

Our Shower Tray Process

From first conversation to finished installation, you’ll deal with the same small team of real stonemasons throughout. No handoffs, no subcontractors, no surprises:

  1. Showroom visit — See and touch over 500 stone samples, compare materials and finishes, and discuss your shower project with people who genuinely know stone
  2. Free quote — Transparent, honest pricing. The quote is the price — no hidden costs, no surprises at installation
  3. Hand templating — Once your bathroom is prepared, we take precision measurements of your shower space, accounting for drain positions, wall angles, and any irregularities
  4. In-house fabrication — Your tray is cut, shaped, and finished in our own workshop by the same team who templated your space
  5. Expert installation — Fitted, sealed, and finished to the highest standard. We leave your bathroom cleaner than we found it

Frequently Asked

Stone Shower Trays Questions

What materials can be used for a bespoke stone shower tray?
The most popular materials for custom stone shower trays are granite, sintered stone (such as Dekton or Neolith), and large-format porcelain. Each offers different strengths: granite provides natural beauty and exceptional hardness, sintered stone delivers near-zero water absorption and maximum durability, while porcelain offers design versatility at a competitive price point. Quartz and marble are generally not recommended for shower trays due to their resin content and porosity respectively, though they work beautifully on bathroom vanity tops and wall panels. During your showroom visit, we'll help you compare samples and choose the material that best suits your bathroom, your lifestyle, and your budget.
Are your stone shower trays made to my exact measurements?
Yes — every shower tray we make is completely bespoke. There are no standard sizes, no off-the-shelf moulds, and no catalogue of pre-made options. We take precise hand-template measurements of your actual shower space, accounting for wall angles, drain positions, and any irregularities. Your tray is then fabricated from a single slab of stone in our own workshop, cut and finished to fit your enclosure exactly. Whether you have a standard rectangular space, an angled corner, or a completely unique layout, the result is a tray that fits perfectly with no gaps, no trims, and no compromises.
How much does a custom stone shower tray cost?
The cost of a bespoke stone shower tray depends on the material you choose, the size and complexity of your shower space, the finish, and the drainage configuration. As a general guide, a custom stone tray starts from a similar price point to a high-quality resin tray — but delivers a result that's incomparably more durable, more visually stunning, and entirely unique to your bathroom. We provide free, no-obligation quotes with transparent pricing and no hidden costs. The quote is the price. We consistently match or beat quotes from larger companies, because there are no middlemen or corporate overheads — just real stonemasons doing exceptional work.
Are stone shower trays slippery when wet?
Safety underfoot is a top priority, and we offer several surface finishes specifically designed to provide reliable grip in wet conditions. Options include sandblasted textures, bush-hammered surfaces, and manufacturer-applied anti-slip finishes — all of which feel comfortable underfoot while effectively reducing the risk of slipping. During your consultation, we'll discuss the available textures for your chosen material and recommend the best option based on how you use your shower. You'll be able to feel the finishes in our showroom before making a decision, so there are no surprises.
How is a stone shower tray waterproofed?
A stone shower tray works as part of a complete waterproofing system. Beneath the stone surface, a full tanking membrane is installed across the shower floor and up the surrounding walls, creating a watertight shell that protects the underlying structure from moisture. The stone tray sits on top of this membrane. Joints are sealed with colour-matched flexible adhesive that's completely waterproof and accommodates the natural movement of the building. The drain assembly is integrated into both the tanking system and the stone during fabrication. We work closely with your builder or bathroom installer to ensure the waterproofing layer is correctly installed before the stone goes down.
Can I match my shower tray to my bathroom vanity or wall panels?
Absolutely — and this is one of the most rewarding aspects of working with a dedicated stonemason. Because we fabricate everything in-house, we can cut your shower tray, vanity top, bath surround, and wall panels from the same slab wherever possible. This gives your entire bathroom a level of visual cohesion and continuity that simply isn't achievable with off-the-shelf products. The colour, veining, and finish remain consistent across every surface, creating a space that feels beautifully unified. Many of our customers choose this approach to transform their bathroom into a genuinely bespoke, hotel-quality retreat.
How long does it take to make and install a bespoke stone shower tray?
From confirmed order to installation, our typical turnaround is around 14 days. The process begins with a hand-template visit once your bathroom is prepared and the shower base is ready. We then fabricate your tray in our workshop — cutting, shaping, finishing, and integrating the drain recess with precision. Installation itself is usually completed within a day for a standard shower tray. Throughout the process, you deal with the same small team of stonemasons — the people who measured your space are the same people who make and fit your tray. No handoffs, no subcontractors.
What is the difference between a stone shower tray and an acrylic or resin one?
The differences are significant. A standard acrylic shower tray is injection-moulded plastic — lightweight and affordable, but prone to flexing, yellowing, cracking, and staining over time. Resin-composite trays are more durable than acrylic but are still mass-produced in fixed sizes, which often means compromises on layout. A bespoke stone shower tray is a single slab of natural or engineered stone, fabricated to your exact dimensions by hand. It doesn't flex, it doesn't yellow, and it doesn't creak underfoot. It's harder, heavier, and incomparably more luxurious. Most importantly, it's made specifically for your shower space — not a factory size that almost fits. A stone tray is an investment that will outlast the bathroom around it.

What Our Customers Say

★★★★★
"Excellent Service and Beautiful Results - Highly Recommended! I recently had In2stone install new quartz worktops in my kitchen, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, the experience was completely stress-free. The team was not only competitively priced but also incredibly friendly and professional throughout the entire process. They handled everything seamlessly - removing the existing sink, hob, and old laminate worktops before fitting the new quartz surfaces. The finished worktops are absolutely beautiful and have transformed my kitchen into a modern, minimalist space that I love spending time in. The quality of workmanship is outstanding, and the attention to detail really shows. I'm a very satisfied customer and would highly recommend In2stone to anyone considering new worktops. Well done to the entire team - you've exceeded my expectations!"
