The Distinct Advantages of Pentagonal Shower Trays
Pentagon shower trays offer a number of distinct benefits that make them a practical choice for a wide range of bathroom layouts. Thanks to their unique five-sided design, pentagonal shower trays can sit neatly in the corner while providing more internal showering space than many other compact tray shapes. Beyond their spacious yet space-saving design, other benefits of pentagonal trays include:
- They make efficient use of corner space without overwhelming the rest of the bathroom
- They offer a more comfortable standing area compared to square or smaller corner trays
- They provide a clean appearance that suits a variety of modern bathroom designs
- They're suitable for compact bathrooms and en-suites
- They're compatible with a variety of pentagonal enclosures
The Most Popular Pentagonal Shower Tray Size
The most popular size for pentagonal shower trays is 900mm x 900mm. This is largely because 900mm x 900mm pentagonal shower enclosures are the most popular option among customers, as they fit perfectly in the large majority of UK bathroom spaces.
If a 900mm x 900mm pentagonal shower tray is too big or too small for your bathroom, you can also look for smaller or larger trays, depending on your exact requirements.
Key Considerations When Shopping for a Pentagonal Shower Tray
While looking for the perfect pentagonal shower tray, there are a couple of considerations that you need to keep in mind to ensure you buy a tray that matches your bathroom layout, personal design preferences, and installation requirements. They include:
Compatibility With Your Enclosure
Make sure that the pentagonal shower tray you buy is exactly the same size as your pentagonal shower enclosure. This is key for achieving a proper fit and a watertight installation. Even small differences in dimensions or waste position can lead to gaps, leaks, or the need for awkward adjustments during installation.
Anti-Slip Properties
If you fear slipping and hurting yourself while having a shower or want to protect your family members in wet conditions, look for a pentagonal shower tray with anti-slip properties. These types of trays are designed with textured surfaces or slip-resistant finishes that greatly improve grip underfoot.
Waste Position and Drainage
Don't forget to check where the waste outlet is located (central, offset, or corner) and ensure it aligns with your existing plumbing. Most homes in the UK use a standard 90mm waste, but the exact position can vary and will have an impact on how easily the tray connects to the drain.
Style and Finish
When shopping around for your pentagonal shower tray, consider the style and finish you prefer, as this can influence both the look and feel of your shower space.
Manufacturer Warranty
For added peace of mind in case something goes wrong with your tray, don't forget to check the length and coverage of the manufacturer's warranty before you buy. At H&P, the warranties of the pentagonal shower trays we stock range from 10 years up to a lifetime.
Pentagonal vs Quadrant Shower Trays - Which is the Better Option?
When it comes to saving floor space in the bathroom, pentagonal and quadrant shower trays both offer clever corner-fitting solutions, but they cater to slightly different needs and style preferences.
A pentagonal shower tray has a five-sided shape with straight edges. This often provides a bit more usable showering space inside the tray while still maintaining a compact overall footprint. This makes pentagonal shower trays particularly useful in en-suite bathrooms or smaller shower rooms where maximising standing room makes a noticeable difference.
On the other hand, a quadrant shower tray features a smooth, curved front that creates a softer visual line and can help make the tray feel less obstructive in tight spaces. The curve also makes it easy to walk into the shower, which is something some people prefer for accessibility and aesthetic reasons.
Tips for Measuring and Installing Your Pentagonal Shower Tray
Taking accurate measurements and installing your pentagonal shower tray correctly are both essential for achieving a secure fit, watertight finish, and long-term performance. Even the smallest of inaccuracies in measurements or installation can lead to fitting issues.
Aside from following the manufacturer's guidelines for your tray and enclosure, here are a couple of additional tips that will make the process much smoother:
- Take measurements multiple times along each wall to account for uneven surfaces
- Make sure that the floor under the shower area is level
- Position the tray in place without sealing to confirm alignment
- Allow adequate time for curing before using the shower
Maintaining a Pentagonal Shower Tray Post Installation
Good aftercare is crucial to keeping your pentagonal shower tray looking clean and performing well over time. By maintaining the tray regularly, you will prevent staining, damage to the surface, and limescale build-up, which is particularly common in hard water areas.
Although the exact maintenance process can vary between different shower trays, here are some general maintenance tips to follow:
- Clean the shower tray regularly using a soft cloth and a non-abrasive cleaning solution
- Avoid using harsh chemicals during cleaning, as they can damage the surface of the tray
- Rinse the tray after use, as this can help reduce soap residue and water marks
- Check the seals periodically to ensure they remain intact and watertight

FAQs About Pentagonal Shower Trays
Not all models do. If you want your pentagonal shower tray to have an anti-slip surface, always check the product description of the tray you're considering to see if there is any mention of an anti-slip or slip-resistant finish.
Yes, an anti-slip pentagonal shower tray can be very well worth it, especially if you want more peace of mind when having a shower. Trays with anti-slip surfaces are particularly popular in households with children, older adults, or people who just want to feel safer in wet conditions.
Most pentagonal shower trays use a standard 90mm waste outlet, which matches the majority of domestic shower waste fittings and plumbing connections found in UK homes.
No. Much like pentagonal shower enclosures, pentagonal shower trays are manufactured in various sizes to suit different bathroom layouts and enclosure dimensions. So, before you buy a tray, make sure that the dimensions of the tray match the dimensions of the enclosure exactly.
That will depend on the material the pentagonal shower tray is made from. Some materials, such as stone resin, can be trimmed to achieve a precise fit, while other materials are not suitable for cutting.
In either case, we don't recommend cutting your tray as if you make a mistake, you can't go back. It's much easier and safer to buy a pentagonal tray of the same size as your enclosure. That way, it'll fit seamlessly into its place.
