SMC, acrylic and stone resin shower bases manufactured in our own 15,000 m² Foshan factory — EN 14527 tested, custom drain positions to your drawings, and packaged to install together with KJbath doors and wall panels. From a 40 mm low-profile walk-in tray to a 200 kg load-rated SMC base, this is where a leak-free bathroom starts.
“Trusted by buyers from more than 190 countries since 1999.”
A shower tray fails on site long before it fails in a catalog. Market data confirms the category is moving technical: the global shower tray market is valued at roughly USD 4.8 billion in 2026, while the low-level tray segment alone is forecast to grow from USD 534 million in 2026 to USD 899 million by 2032 at a 9.1% CAGR — driven by walk-in and accessible bathroom specs in Europe and North America. Before comparing finishes, professional buyers compare four things:
Material decides how a tray feels underfoot, how it survives installation handling, and how it ages under commercial traffic. We run all three mainstream material lines in-house, so the recommendation follows your project — not our mold inventory.
Compression-molded, glass-fiber reinforced trays with a rigid webbed underside structure. Industry guides estimate SMC already holds roughly a third of the European modular bathroom market. The workhorse for hotel and project programs.
Glossy, non-porous surfaces that clean fast and resist staining. Lightweight for easier handling on site, repairable surface finish, and the value leader for volume residential and distribution programs.
Mineral-filled trays with slate or matte textures for design-led projects that want a premium, architectural finish. Low-profile, walk-in friendly heights with a substantial, high-end feel.

| Repairability | Gel-coat repairable | Polishable / repairable | Sandable matte finish |
| Cost Position | Mid | Entry / value | Premium |
| Best-Seller Sizes | 900–1700 mm rectangle | 32"–60" NA inch sizes | 1200×800 / 1400×900 low-profile |
Buyer guides consistently rank shape and drain configuration — not color — as the first decision in tray selection. Our program covers the four layout families your market uses most, in both metric and North American inch sizes, with bath-replacement sizes for tub-to-shower conversions (the fastest-growing renovation spec).
A tray is a piece of drainage engineering with a floor on top. These are the parameters European brands publish on their datasheets — and the parameters we build and test to:
Program ranges below. Custom sizes, drain positions and colors are routine OEM work — share drawings and we confirm feasibility before sampling.

Dimensions are typical program ranges, not limits — OEM sizing is quoted per project.
A tray is never just a tray. It decides drainage, installation effort and enclosure fit — here is how each buyer type should shortlist.
Confirm floor construction, drain position and enclosure type before comparing finishes. Match tray height to walk-in or raised-floor design.
Every market has a handful of dominant sizes and drain habits — build core SKUs around them.
Trays, matched waste kits, leg frames and English installation guides should arrive together, labeled per room or per unit where the project requires it.
Shower base, shower tray and custom shower base describe the same category from different angles — we map your market terms to our SKU system.
Low-threshold walk-in showers and accessible bathrooms are among the strongest 2026 hospitality and residential trends — and both start at the tray. Residential renovation spending in Germany and the UK is lifting replacement demand for low-threshold formats; tub-to-shower conversion is the single biggest tray driver in North America.
A long-term rental apartment project where trays, doors and wall panels shipped as a one-stop package with independent per-unit packaging — eliminating size-mismatch rework in a market where on-site labor is expensive. Proof that tray + enclosure package engineering beats fragmented sourcing.
Coastal projects demand corrosion-proof hardware and verified surface durability (salt-spray tested). The same discipline applies to tray surface finish and waste fittings in high-humidity environments.
Low-profile bases fit existing plumbing with minimal floor work — the quickest path from a bathtub footprint to a walk-in shower, in both metric 1700 mm and NA 60"x32" bath-replacement sizes.
Trays are checked for dimensions, drainage fall, surface finish and load behavior before packing — because a warped or slow-draining tray costs you the whole bathroom, not just the base. Our QC chain for this category:
Resin, glass fiber, gel-coat and waste fittings checked against agreed specifications before molding.
Mold temperature, curing time and demolding dimensions monitored per batch.
Fall angle and waste connection verified so water clears fast with no ponding.
Random-batch load and impact testing keeps deflection and cracking out of your installations.
Gloss, texture, flatness and rim dimensions against approved samples.
Edge-protected cartons, labeling, and buyer-appointed third-party inspection (e.g., SGS/TUV) coordinated before loading on request.
European shower tray standard: performance and drainage requirements.
Compliance documentation supporting EU customs clearance and project acceptance.
Slip-resistance classification for barefoot wet areas (hospitality/accessible specs).
Factory quality management system behind batch consistency.
Custom sizes, drain positions and colors are daily work for our molding lines. Here is how a tray order runs from brief to container — and how it arrives ready to install.
Share floor plans, drain positions and target sizes. We map them to existing molds or quote custom tooling.
Samples with drain kits for evaluation; confirm fit, feel and finish before committing.
Molding, curing and finishing under one roof, with batch load and drainage checks before packing.
Edge-protected cartons on pallets, surfaces filmed against scratching, optimized for mixed-container loading with doors and panels.
Installation & Lead Time: Standard program sizes ship from existing molds — typical production lead time is 20–30 days after order confirmation, with custom-tooling projects quoted individually after drawing review. Every tray ships with an English installation guide covering the three install methods (on-floor, recessed flush, raised leg frame), matched waste kit options, and room-based labeling for multi-unit projects. Samples are available with drain kits so your team can validate fit before the container.
Eight questions buyers raise before choosing a tray or base — organized by buyer role, covering materials, ratings, custom sizing, fittings, packing and lead time.
For the Procurement TeamBecause base choice affects drainage, installation conditions, enclosure matching, and overall package practicality. A poor match between base, enclosure and installation context creates avoidable fitting and waterproofing issues later.
For the Hotel SpecifierSMC suits high-traffic hospitality use thanks to its density, rigidity and warm-touch feel, and industry guides estimate it already holds roughly a third of the European modular bathroom market. Acrylic remains a strong value choice for lighter-duty or budget-driven programs; stone resin fits design-led boutique specs.
For the Accessibility SpecifierAnti-slip textures are tested against DIN 51097 barefoot wet-area classification, and project-grade SMC trays are batch load-tested to the 200 kg class that accessible and wheelchair-friendly specifications reference. Documentation is available at order stage.
For the Project EngineerYes. Custom shower base sizes and waste positions are quoted from your drawings — corner, center or offset drains matched to site plumbing so installers avoid re-working the floor. Bath-replacement sizes (1700 mm / 60"x32") are standard.
For the DistributorStart from your market’s dominant plumbing sizes and drain habits. We help you build a core SKU list, mix shapes and materials in one container, and add low-profile trays — the fastest-growing renovation spec in Europe and North America.
For the ContractorWaste kits (including 90 mm trap options) are matched to each tray’s drain position and your market’s outlet standard. Confirm the fitting standard at order stage so site teams receive a complete, compatible kit with English installation guides.
For the Importer / RetailerTrays ship in edge-protected cartons on pallets, with surfaces filmed against scratching. Mixed containers with doors and wall panels are planned so heavy trays load low and stable, and per-unit or room-based labeling is available for project deliveries.
For the Supply-Chain PlannerStandard program sizes run about 20–30 days of production after order confirmation; custom tooling is quoted after drawing review. Third-party inspection can be coordinated before loading for an extra verification layer.
Share your room layout, drain position, and enclosure idea. Our engineers will point you toward the tray material, profile height and waste configuration that makes the overall package easier to execute — with samples before you commit.
