How to Measure for a Shower Enclosure
Quick checklist

What to check

  1. 01

    Measure the finished tiled opening, not just the old enclosure.

  2. 02

    Check the tray size, tray height and shower waste position.

  3. 03

    Check door swing, access space and whether you need left or right hand entry.

  4. 04

    Allow for out-of-plumb wall adjustment shown on the product specification.

Before you buy

Bathroom products need to work with the room, the pipework and the other visible fittings. Build a complete list before ordering, not just the headline item.

Keep measurements and product codes together, and check whether wastes, traps, valves, fixings or connectors are included or need adding separately.
