Custom Shower Tray vs Standard Size

Introduction

When planning a hotel project, a commercial property, or a high-end residential development, one critical decision stands between you and a perfect bathroom installation: should you choose standard shower trays or invest in custom-made solutions?

At DAYA, a leading shower tray manufacturer with 25 years of experience and an 48,000m² production facility, we have supplied over 80,000 pieces annually to 60 countries worldwide. We understand that every project has unique requirements. That is why we specialize in both standard production and full OEM/ODM services.

In this article, we break down the key differences between custom and standard shower trays to help you make the right choice for your next project.

What Are Standard Shower Trays?

Standard shower trays are pre-manufactured in fixed sizes, shapes, and colors. They are designed to fit common bathroom layouts and are typically held in stock by manufacturers or distributors.

Common standard sizes include:

• 70x70 cm, 80x80 cm (compact square)
• 90x90 cm (standard square/quadrant)
• 100x80 cm, 120x80 cm, 120x90 cm (rectangular)
• 100x100 cm (large square)

Standard trays work well for typical residential bathrooms where space is conventional and no structural modifications are needed.

What Are Custom Shower Trays?

Custom shower trays are manufactured to your exact specifications — whether that means non-standard dimensions, special colors, unique shapes, or branded packaging. At DAYA, our OEM/ODM capabilities allow us to produce made-to-measure stone resin shower trays for projects of any scale.

Custom options include:

• Custom Dimensions: Any length (up to 200cm+), width, or height to fit irregular spaces, niches, or converted bathtub areas.
• Custom Colors: Match exact project color palettes with our full range of solid colors (White, Beige, Grey, Black) or marble effect finishes (Carrara, Calacatta, Nero Marquina, and more).
• Custom Shapes: Beyond rectangles and squares — we can produce trapezoidal, pentagonal, or curbless (walk-in) designs.
• Custom Branding: Logo printing or laser etching on trays and packaging for distributors and project developers.
• Custom Drain Positions: Drain holes placed to align perfectly with your project's existing plumbing.

Custom vs Standard: Key Comparison

Why Developers and Hotels Choose Custom

For large-scale projects, the advantages of custom shower trays are clear:

• Architectural Consistency: Custom trays can be designed to match the exact dimensions and aesthetics of the project, eliminating unsightly gaps or awkward tile cuts.
• Brand Identity: Hotels and resorts can add their logo or custom packaging to trays, elevating brand perception among guests.
• Plumbing Flexibility: No need to re-route drain pipes — we place the drain exactly where your blueprints require.
• Bulk Pricing: With MOQs as low as 18 pieces per size, even mid-sized boutique hotel projects can benefit from custom manufacturing economics.

The DAYA OEM/ODM Process: Simple and Efficient

We have streamlined our custom manufacturing process to make it easy for international partners:

1. Consultation: Share your project requirements — dimensions, quantities, colors, and any special features.
2. Sample Approval: We produce initial samples for your review and approval before bulk production.
3. Production: Your order is manufactured in our CE/TÜV-certified facility with strict quality control.
4. Shipping & Support: We arrange logistics and provide installation guidance materials and videos.

Certifications You Can Trust

All DAYA products — both standard and custom — come with full CE and TÜV certifications, ensuring compliance with European safety and quality standards. Our stone resin trays also meet Class 3 anti-slip standards (EN 41901:2017), giving your project an extra layer of safety and credibility.

Conclusion

Standard shower trays work fine for standard jobs. But for hotel developers, large contractors, and project-based businesses, custom shower trays from DAYA offer unmatched flexibility, branding opportunities, and long-term value.

Whether you are fitting out 200 hotel rooms or a single luxury villa, our team is ready to bring your vision to life.
