FAQ
Q1. What is a shower base?
A shower base, also known as a shower tray, forms the floor of a shower enclosure. It is designed to support the shower, direct water towards the waste outlet and help prevent water escaping into the rest of the bathroom.
Q2. Is a shower base better than a tiled shower floor?
Both options have their advantages. A shower base is typically faster to install, easier to clean and offers consistent drainage. A tiled shower floor provides greater design flexibility but generally requires more installation time and waterproofing expertise. The best choice depends on your renovation goals, budget and preferred bathroom style.
Q3. What sizes of shower bases are available?
Shower bases are available in a range of standard square and rectangular sizes to suit compact ensuites, family bathrooms and larger shower enclosures. If you're unsure which size you need, our team can help you choose the best option.
Q4. Are shower bases easy to clean?
Yes. Most shower bases feature smooth, non-porous surfaces that are easy to wipe clean and help minimise the build-up of soap residue and dirt.
Q5. Can I install a frameless shower screen on a shower base?
Yes. Many shower bases are designed to work with frameless, semi-frameless and fully framed shower screens, providing flexibility for different bathroom styles.
Q6. Do shower bases leak?
When professionally installed with correct waterproofing and plumbing, a quality shower base provides excellent water management and reliable long-term performance.
Q7. Can I buy matching bathroom accessories?
Absolutely. Joshua Tiles offers complete bathroom solutions, including basins, tapware, basin wastes, mirrors, vanities, towel rails and accessories, allowing you to create a perfectly coordinated bathroom.
