Shower Bases in Melbourne: Shower Trays, Low Profile and Custom Bases
A shower base is a foundation component of any bathroom renovation. It protects the subfloor, ensures correct drainage, and defines the footprint and feel of your shower recess. At Apadana Design, our shower base range covers acrylic trays, stone look bases and custom-sized options across a variety of profiles and finishes, all available with free shipping across Melbourne.
Whether you are fitting out a new shower recess or replacing an existing base in a Melbourne home, our collection covers every standard installation type, drainage position and finish requirement.
Our Shower Base Range
We stock shower bases across three material and profile types to suit different bathroom layouts and renovation budgets:
Acrylic Shower Bases
Lightweight, warm underfoot and available in a broad range of sizes, acrylic shower bases are the most common choice for Melbourne bathroom renovations. They install cleanly onto a prepared substrate and provide a smooth, non-porous surface that is easy to clean and resistant to mould and staining. Available in low profile and standard depth profiles to suit different recess heights and access requirements.
Stone Look Shower Bases
Stone look shower bases provide the aesthetic of a tiled or stone floor with the practicality of a formed base. They deliver a more textured, premium surface compared to standard acrylic and suit contemporary and Hamptons-style bathroom renovations in Melbourne where the shower floor needs to contribute to the overall design without the waterproofing complexity of a fully tiled base.
Standard and Custom Sized Bases
Our range includes bases in standard shower recess dimensions as well as custom-sized options for non-standard bathroom layouts. Standard sizes suit the most common Melbourne shower footprints. Custom options allow precise sizing for alcove recesses, corner installations and wet room configurations where standard dimensions do not apply.
Base Profiles and Drainage Options
Shower base profile and drainage position are two of the most important decisions when selecting a base for your Melbourne bathroom renovation:
• Low profile bases: minimal step-in height for easy access. Ideal for accessibility requirements and for creating a near-flush shower floor in contemporary bathroom designs.
• Raised edge bases: a defined lip around the perimeter to contain water within the shower zone. A practical choice for shower-over-bath combinations and wet areas adjacent to timber or sensitive flooring.
• Centre drain: the waste outlet is positioned at the centre of the base. Suits symmetrical recess configurations and standard floor plumbing positions.
• Corner and offset drain: the waste outlet is positioned toward one edge or corner, suiting recess configurations where plumbing is positioned to one side.
Finishes and Colour Options
Our shower base range is available across a selection of finishes to complement your shower screen hardware, tapware and tiles:
Polished Chrome, Polished Stainless Steel, Matte Black, Satin White, Brushed Brass, Brushed Gold, Brushed Gunmetal and Warm Brushed Gunmetal.
Materials and Build Quality
Every shower base in our Melbourne range is selected for durability, safety and long-term performance in a daily wet environment:
• High-strength materials that resist water damage, staining and mould build-up over time.
• Non-slip surface textures on many profiles to improve safety underfoot in wet shower conditions.
• Polished, brushed and coated finish options that hold their appearance in humid bathroom environments.
• Sealed edges and pre-formed slopes that direct water consistently toward the waste outlet.
Sizes to Suit Any Melbourne Bathroom
Getting the right shower base size is critical to a clean installation. Consider these dimensions when selecting:
• Width and depth that match your shower screen footprint and leave adequate movement space within the recess.
• Base height that aligns with your chosen shower screen threshold or frameless glass seal.
• Drain position that aligns with your existing floor plumbing or can be adjusted during renovation.
• Custom dimensions for non-standard alcove, corner or wet room shower configurations in Melbourne homes.

Tips for Choosing Your Shower Base
1. Measure your recess precisely before ordering. Note the internal width, depth and the height from the subfloor to the finished floor level. Also confirm the location of your floor waste outlet. A base that does not align with the existing drain position will require plumbing relocation.
2. Choose low profile for accessibility. Low profile bases with minimal step-in height are the safest choice for family bathrooms and any Melbourne renovation where ease of access is a priority. They also create a more seamless visual connection to the bathroom floor.
3. Match the base finish to your shower screen hardware. If your shower screen hardware is Matte Black, selecting a Matte Black or dark-profile base creates a cohesive look throughout the shower recess. Polished Chrome and Polished Stainless Steel bases suit chrome shower hardware and tapware.
4. Confirm drain position before purchasing. The waste outlet on the base must align with your existing floor plumbing. If relocating plumbing is not in your renovation plan, filter your base selection by drain position before narrowing down by size and finish.
5. Consider non-slip surface texture. For family bathrooms or any Melbourne bathroom renovation where slip resistance is a priority, choose a base with a textured or matte surface rather than a high-gloss finish. Textured bases provide better grip underfoot in wet shower conditions.
