Shower Enclosures & Shower Cubicles - A Buyers' Guide

If you're on the search for a new shower enclosure, this guide can help you decipher between a square shower enclosure, a glass shower enclosure, a shower enclosure with sliding doors, and many other factors. From space-saving designs to luxurious walk-in styles, today’s enclosures make the most of your bathroom's space and also contributes to the overall style of the bathroom, creating a clean, cohesive finish. This buyers’ guide will walk you through the key options, helping you select a shower enclosure that fits your space, style, and budget.

Things to Consider When Buying a Shower Enclosure

To help make your shower enclosure buying decision easier, we’ve broken down the main factors to consider below, including the type of door, frame type, enclosure style, glass type and thickness, as well as the shower tray options — whether that’s choosing the right material or opting for a tray-less, walk-in design. Explore the key considerations below to help you choose.

The Different Types of Shower Enclosures

Shower enclosures and cubicles play a key role in shaping both the style and practicality of a bathroom. With options ranging from recessed to quadrant and offset quadrant, each type offers distinct benefits depending on your layout, preferences, and lifestyle.

recessed-shower-enclosure

Recessed Enclosures (Door Only or Alcove Enclosure)

A recessed shower enclosure — door only or alcove enclosure — is a shower unit built into a three-sided alcove/recess in the bathroom, maximising space and privacy when showering.

  • Space-efficient design ideal for small to medium bathrooms
  • Sliding or hinged doors for easy access
  • Streamlined, integrated look that blends with the bathroom layout
  • Various sizes and configurations to fit different alcove dimensions
  • Durable glass panels with options for clear, frosted, or patterned finishes
  • Easy to clean and maintain due to smooth surfaces and fewer exposed edges
  • Can be combined with different tray types or even floor-level wet-room setups
quadrant-shower-enclosure

Quadrant Shower Enclosure

A quadrant shower enclosure is a curved, space-saving shower unit designed to fit into a corner, making it ideal for smaller bathrooms while providing a comfortable showering area.

  • Curved front design that maximises space in corner installations
  • Compact and space-saving — ideal for small to medium-sized bathrooms
  • Smooth sliding or hinged doors for easy access without taking up extra floor space
  • Variety of sizes and styles to suit different bathroom layouts
  • Modern, sleek look that blends well with contemporary designs
  • Available in framed, semi-framed, or frameless options
  • Durable glass panels with options for clear, frosted, or patterned finishes
left-hand-entry-offset-quadrant-enclosure

Offset Quadrant Shower Enclosure

An offset quadrant shower enclosure is a corner shower with a curved front slightly longer on one side, offering extra internal space while still fitting into a compact bathroom corner.

  • Curved front with asymmetrical shape for extra internal shower space
  • Space-saving corner design suitable for smaller bathrooms
  • Comfortable, roomy interior compared to standard quadrant enclosures
  • Smooth sliding or hinged doors for easy access
  • Variety of sizes and configurations to fit different bathroom layouts
  • Available in framed, semi-framed, or frameless options
  • Durable glass panels with options for clear, frosted, or patterned finishes
corner-enclosure

Door & Side Panel (Corner Shower Cubicle)

A rectangular shower enclosure is a shower unit with a longer, rectangular footprint, offering a spacious showering area that works well in larger bathrooms or along a wall recess.

  • Long, rectangular shape providing a more spacious showering area
  • Ideal for larger bathrooms or wall recesses
  • Sliding or hinged doors for easy access
  • Versatile layout options to suit different bathroom designs
  • Available in framed, semi-framed, or frameless styles for different aesthetics
  • Durable glass panels with choices of clear, frosted, or patterned finishes
  • Can accommodate larger shower trays or floor-level installations
walk-in-enclosure

Walk In Shower Enclosures

Give your bathroom a luxurious feel with a walk in enclosure. More spacious than traditional shower enclosures, they have an open, barrier-free design that creates a spacious, airy feel.

  • Provides easy access for entrance and exit
  • Fewer moving parts — like doors or hinges — mean less cleaning
  • Open design improves airflow
  • Clean lines and simple glass panels provides a minimalist feel
  • Customisable layout with different glass types and finishes
  • Can be combined with wet-room flooring or trays for seamless integration
  • Flexible sizing to suit both small and large bathrooms
shower-cubicle

Shower Cubicles

A shower cubicle is a self-contained shower unit, typically enclosed on all sides with glass panels and a door. It keeps water contained while providing a dedicated showering space.

  • Fully enclosed on all sides to prevent water from escaping
  • Self-contained unit that can be installed in various bathroom spaces
  • Sliding or hinged doors for easy access
  • Compact and space-efficient — ideal for smaller bathrooms
  • Variety of shapes and sizes including square, rectangular, and quadrant
  • Framed, semi-framed, or frameless options to suit different styles and budgets
  • Durable glass panels with options for clear, frosted, or patterned finishes
wet room screen

Wet Room Screens

A wet room is a fully waterproofed bathroom where the shower area is level with the rest of the floor, allowing water to drain away without the need for a traditional shower tray.

  • Fully waterproofed flooring and walls to prevent leaks and water damage
  • Open, tray-less design for a sleek, minimalist look
  • Level floor with a concealed drain for easy water flow
  • Flexible layout that can accommodate any shower size or location
  • Easy access for people with mobility issues, thanks to step-free entry
  • Customisable finishes including tiles, vinyl, or stone for a seamless look
  • Spacious, airy feel due to the absence of traditional enclosures or doors
  • Low maintenance with fewer corners and components to clean

The Different Types of Shower Door Explained

There are many shower door types to suit different spaces, including hinged doors that swing open, sliding doors that save space, bi-fold doors that fold inwards, corner entry doors designed for compact corners, and pivot doors that rotate smoothly on a hinge. The right door ensures easy access, helps prevent water from escaping, and matches your shower's style.

hinged-door

Hinged Shower Door

This is the same type of door-opening mechanism as most internal and external doors in the home. It's fixed to the wall with two or more hinges and swings open, rotating on the hinges.

  • Door swings open like a regular door for full access to the shower
  • Requires enough clearance space outside the enclosure to open fully
  • Simple, classic design that suits most bathroom styles
  • Framed, semi-framed, or frameless options for different aesthetics
  • Durable hinges that support smooth and long-lasting operation
  • Easy to clean with fewer moving parts than sliding or folding doors
  • Provides a watertight seal when closed to prevent leaks and splashes
sliding-shower-door

Sliding Shower Door

Sliding shower doors don't make you sacrifice any external/internal space. This door is usually for larger enclosures, and the smooth sliding action makes it easy to operate.

  • Doors slide along tracks instead of swinging open, saving space
  • Ideal for small or narrow bathrooms where clearance is limited
  • Smooth-glide mechanism for easy and quiet operation
  • Framed, semi-framed, or frameless options to match different styles
  • Durable rollers and tracks designed for long-lasting use
  • Helps contain water effectively within the shower enclosure
  • Low-maintenance design with minimal moving parts exposed
bifold-shower-door

Bi-Fold Shower Door

Bi-fold shower doors open into the showering area with a folding action. Because the door folds, there's no chance of the door encroaching into your external bathroom space.

  • Folds inward in sections to save space when opening
  • Ideal for small bathrooms or areas with limited clearance
  • Compact design maximises usable shower area
  • Framed, semi-framed, or frameless options for different styles
  • Smooth hinges or pivot points for easy folding and long-lasting use
  • Helps contain water effectively within the enclosure
  • Easy to clean with fewer tracks than sliding doors, reducing grime buildup
corner-entry-shower-door

Corner Entry Shower Door

A corner entry shower door is designed for corner shower enclosures. It typically has two glass panels that meet at the corner, creating a diagonal entry point for easy access.

  • Maximises corner space for efficient use in small bathrooms
  • Diagonal entry allows easy access without taking up extra floor space
  • Compatible with sliding, hinged, or bi-fold designs for flexibility
  • Compact and space-saving compared to standard swing doors
  • Modern, sleek appearance that complements contemporary bathrooms
  • Helps contain water effectively within the shower area
  • Available in framed, semi-framed, or frameless styles to suit different aesthetics
pivot-shower-door

Pivot Shower Door

They're often confused with the hinged shower door, but the difference is that a pivot shower door doesn't have the hinges fixed to the wall but at the top and bottom of the door.

  • Rotates on a central hinge or pivot point for smooth opening and closing
  • Suitable for larger shower enclosures where a full swing door is feasible
  • Elegant, minimalist design that works well in modern bathrooms
  • Framed, semi-framed, or frameless options for different styles and budgets
  • Durable pivot mechanism designed for long-lasting use
  • Provides a secure, watertight seal to prevent leaks
  • Easy to clean with fewer tracks and moving parts compared to sliding doors
line-break

Framed, Frameless or Semi-Framed

When choosing a shower enclosure, one of the key decisions is whether to go framed, semi-framed, or frameless, as this affects both the look and functionality of your shower. Framed is practical and affordable, semi-framed balances style and support, and frameless delivers a modern, luxurious look — your choice depends on your style preference, main priority, and budget.

framed-enclosure

Framed

This is the most common style and has an aluminium frame around all the glass components. This is the style most often used with glass measuring 4–6mm in width.

  • Extra stability and support due to the full metal frame around the glass
  • Durable and long-lasting even in high-usage bathrooms
  • More affordable than frameless alternatives
  • Effective water containment to reduce leaks and splashes
  • Easier to install because the frame provides structure
  • Less risk of glass damage as the frame reinforces the panels
  • Low-maintenance cleaning with simpler lines compared to frameless edges

Frameless

Frameless shower enclosures are the epitome of luxury and minimalism. They’re usually only found on the more expensive models with glass measuring 8–10mm wide.

  • Sleek, modern appearance with clean, minimalist lines
  • Creates a more open, spacious feel in the bathroom
  • Thick tempered glass provides strength and durability without a frame
  • Easy to clean with fewer edges and no metal framing to trap grime
  • Customisable sizes and configurations for a tailored fit
  • Enhances natural light flow in the shower area
  • Luxurious, high-end look that complements contemporary bathroom designs

Semi-Frameless

Unlike fully framed enclosures, only the vertical edges of the glass panels and doors on a semi-frameless enclosure have a frame, while the horizontal edges are frameless.

  • Modern, clean look that’s sleeker than fully framed enclosures
  • Partial framing for stability keeps the shower durable and secure
  • Effective water containment along the framed edges
  • Easier to clean than fully framed showers, with fewer metal parts to trap grime
  • More affordable than fully frameless options while still looking stylish
  • Customisable sizes and configurations to fit different bathroom layouts
  • Balances style and practicality by combining aesthetics with structural support

Glass Type and Thickness

The glass used must be toughened safety glass and manufactured to British Standard 6206 Class A with a CE stamp. It comes various thicknesses from 3mm to over 10mm and is designed to take a substantial impact for safety. When choosing glass thickness, consider the enclosure type and size: framed doors can use 4–6mm, semi-frameless 6–8mm, and frameless 8–10mm.

Frosted Glass

Frosted Glass

An ideal choice if you're very shy! Frosted glass has a pattern designed to hide the person in the shower completely from external view. It's also modern and can complement your decor.

  • Provides privacy while still allowing light to pass through
  • Soft, diffused appearance that adds a modern, elegant look
  • Hides water spots, fingerprints, and streaks better than clear glass
  • Available in various patterns and levels of opacity for customisation
  • Can complement any bathroom style from contemporary to traditional
  • Durable and compatible with framed, semi-frameless, or frameless doors
  • Easy to maintain with regular cleaning and no special treatments required

  • Provides privacy without fully blocking light
  • Decorative and stylish, adding visual interest to the bathroom
  • Hides water spots, fingerprints, and streaks better than clear glass
  • Available in a variety of patterns and textures to suit different styles

  • Durable and easy to maintain with regular cleaning
  • Adds a modern or unique touch without major renovations

4–6mm Thickness

Choosing glass thickness of 4–6mm for a shower enclosure is ideal for framed or smaller doors, as it provides sufficient strength and stability while keeping the door lightweight, cost-effective, and easier to install.

  • Lightweight and easy to handle during installation
  • Cost-effective compared to thicker glass options
  • Sufficient strength for framed or smaller shower doors
  • Compatible with framed enclosures where extra support is provided by the frame
  • Easier to clean and maintain due to less bulk and weight
  • Reduces strain on hinges and door hardware
  • Suitable for smaller panels or doors where large, heavy panels aren’t needed

8–10mm Glass Thickness

This glass thickness provides strength and stability, especially in frameless or larger shower enclosures. It also gives a premium, solid feel and a sleek, modern look to the bathroom.

  • Strong and sturdy — ideal for frameless or larger shower panels
  • Premium, high-end look with a solid, substantial feel
  • Excellent stability with minimal flexing or wobbling
  • Durable and long-lasting for daily use
  • Works well with frameless or semi-frameless designs that lack full structural support
  • Enhanced safety when tempered or toughened, reducing the risk of injury if broken
  • Provides a sleek, modern aesthetic that enhances the bathroom’s appearance

Shower Trays

Choosing the right shower tray is important because it affects comfort, safety, drainage, and how well your shower fits into the overall bathroom design. There are several options to suit different needs and layouts, including no tray (wet room style), low-profile trays, low-profile non-slip trays, raised trays, and raised non-slip trays — all in various shapes.

Low Profile Shower Tray

Low Profile Trays

These are thinner, sit close to the floor, and are suitable for bathrooms where it's easy to fix the plumbing beneath the floor. They provide a lower step-in height than raised trays.

  • Slim, modern design that creates a sleek, minimalist look
  • Lower step-in height for easier access compared to raised trays
  • Ideal for contemporary bathrooms and walk-in style showers
  • Helps create a more spacious feel in the shower area
  • Compatible with most shower enclosures and door types
  • Available in a range of sizes and shapes to suit different layouts
  • Easy to clean and maintain thanks to smooth, flat surfaces
Adjustable Height Shower Tray

Raised Trays

Raised shower trays have a higher profile that sits above floor level, often elevated on adjustable legs or a plinth. They make plumbing access easier and improve drainage.

  • Elevated design allows easier access to plumbing and waste pipes
  • Ideal for difficult installations where floor recessing isn’t possible
  • Improved drainage due to gravity-assisted water flow
  • Available with non-slip surfaces for added safety
  • Compatible with most shower enclosures and door types
  • Durable and supportive structure suitable for daily use
  • Practical and cost-effective solution for renovations and upstairs bathrooms

Non Slip Shower Trays

Non-slip shower trays can improve bathroom safety by providing grip to the surface — preventing you from slipping and sliding when entering, existing and using the shower.

  • Reduces the risk of slips and falls
  • Durable surface that lasts over time
  • Improves water drainage to prevent puddles
  • Easy to clean with a wipe down
  • Available in stylish designs and finishes
  • Comfortable, non-abrasive texture underfoot
  • Resistant to mould

Shower Tray Material

Your shower tray material affects how the shower feels beneath your feet, your tray's anti-slip performance (if any), overall lifespan and durability, installation, and appearance. The most popular materials include stone, stone resin, and acrylic, with pros and cons to each, and below is an overview for each material.

acrylic shower tray

Acrylic Shower Trays

Acrylic shower trays are lightweight, affordable, and quick to warm underfoot, making them popular for budget-friendly bathrooms. They also provide a clean and modern look.

  • Lightweight material that’s easy to install
  • Affordable compared to alternative materials
  • Warm-to-the-touch surface that's comfortable underfoot
  • Non-porous finish that's stain-resistant
  • Available in a wide range of sizes, shapes, and finishes
  • Can flex under weight if not properly supported during installation
  • More prone to scratching or discolouration over time than premium materials
stone resin shower tray

Stone Resin Shower Trays

Stone resin is durable, rigid, and stable, giving a solid feel underfoot. It offers excellent slip resistance and long-term performance, making it popular for modern bathrooms.

  • Extremely durable and resistant to cracking or warping
  • Rigid, solid construction that feels stable underfoot
  • Excellent slip resistance, often with a textured or matte finish
  • Non-porous surface that resists stains, mould, and bacteria
  • Retains its shape well, reducing stress on seals and grout
  • Heavier than acrylic, providing added stability once installed
  • Premium look and feel suited to modern, high-end bathrooms

Mira Flight Trays also Includes BioCote® to reduce bacteria and mould growth by up to 99.9%

Pure Acrylic Trays are at the cheap end of the market and can be quite flimsy and prone to discolouration. Suitable for a rental property or student let, but probably not the first choice for a family bathroom or the ensuite to the master bedroom.

Another increasingly popular option is the shower pod or self-contained shower cubicle. This combines the glass and tray and often all associated plumbing into a single unit that requires minimal installation. The self-contained shower cubicle is a popular choice with new house builders but may be quite an expensive option for a retrofit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I measure my bathroom for a shower cubicle and tray?

Start by measuring the length and width of the area where you plan to install your shower unit. Be sure to account for any doors, windows, or other obstacles in your bathroom to help you find the best placement. Accurate measurements are needed to make sure your shower cubicle and tray fit securely.

What is the best size for a shower enclosure?

The ideal size depends on your bathroom’s layout and available space. In the UK, standard shower enclosures with tray options range from compact 700mm x 700mm units to spacious walk-in enclosures. For added comfort, choose a size that provides ample space to move freely while still fitting within your bathroom dimensions.

Are shower enclosures suitable for small bathrooms?

Absolutely! We offer a variety of compact shower enclosures with tray options specifically designed for small bathrooms. Consider shower trays and screens with quadrant or corner entry configurations, which make efficient use of tighter spaces without sacrificing style.

Can I customise the size of my shower enclosure?

Yes, many of our shower units offer various size options to help you achieve a tailored fit. We also have adjustable doors and panels to ensure that your shower tray and screen match your specific bathroom dimensions.

How should I clean and maintain my shower tray and screen?

Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth to clean the glass and tray surfaces. Avoid using harsh chemicals, as they can damage protective coatings. Rinsing the shower tray and screen after each use helps prevent soap scum buildup, and drying with a microfiber cloth ensures a spotless finish.

How long do shower enclosures last?

With proper care, a high-quality shower cubicle and tray can last 10–20 years. Premium materials, like stone resin trays and thick safety glass, improve your shower units' durability.

Do shower enclosures come with a warranty?

Yes, our shower trays and screens come with manufacturer warranties for peace of mind. Warranty terms vary by brand, so check the product page for specific details or contact us for more information.

How long does it take to install a shower enclosure?

Installation time depends on the type of shower tray and screen and the installer’s experience. Most shower enclosures with tray combinations can be professionally installed within a day.

Great replacement

Easy to fit and much better than original hinged screen that came with shower bath from another supplier, and had failed on lower hinges due to weight of glass. This folding screen is lighter to operate, folds back to either side, and looks neater, works well, and seems much safer. Well satisfied.

Really happy with this door and it’s quality, it finishes off our new shower nicely. Only down side is that it could come with longer screws to fix in to the walls.
