    Why Is Choosing the Right Shower Base So Important?

    The base of your shower isn’t just something you step on, it's the component that protects your entire bathroom from leaks and moisture damage. Here's why it matters:

    • Prevents leaks and long-term water damage

    • Supports proper drainage with minimal risk of pooling

    • Enhances the lifespan of your tiles and waterproofing

    • Forms the core structure for the rest of your shower design

    When choosing a shower base in Melbourne, consider your bathroom layout, floor type, and preferred drainage style. From low-profile acrylic trays to modern tile-over bases, there’s a perfect fit for every home.

    What Should You Look for in a Shower Base?

    When shopping for shower bases, it’s not just about looks. To ensure a long-lasting, hassle-free showering experience, keep these key factors in mind:

    • Budget Wisely: Don’t be tempted by the cheapest option. A poorly made shower base can lead to water issues and costly repairs.

    • Drainage Design: Choose from options like centre wastes, linear channels, or tile inserts — all built to match your style and plumbing setup.

    • Material Matters: From durable stone resin and acrylic to tile-over bases, each material offers different benefits in terms of longevity and ease of cleaning.

    • Local Support: Buying from a Melbourne-based supplier ensures faster delivery, easier returns, and expert local advice.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    A shower base (also called a shower tray) is the waterproof surface that sits at the bottom of your shower. It directs water toward the drain and prevents leaks. A high-quality shower base protects your bathroom from water damage and improves drainage.

    You can find a variety of shower bases in Melbourne, including:

    • Acrylic shower bases (lightweight and easy to install)
    • Stone resin bases (durable and modern-looking)
    • Tile-over shower bases (customisable with your choice of tiles)

    Each type has different benefits depending on your style, budget, and plumbing needs.

    While some shower bases are DIY-friendly, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper waterproofing and drainage. A poorly installed base can lead to leaks and costly damage over time.

    Measure the space in your bathroom carefully, including width, depth, and height clearance. At Kalessi, we offer a wide range of shower base sizes to suit standard and custom shower layouts. Our team can help you find the perfect fit for your space.

    Many shower bases come with a pre-cut hole for a waste outlet, but the actual drain or waste unit may need to be purchased separately. Be sure to choose a compatible waste type (e.g., centre waste, linear drain) that suits your bathroom’s plumbing.
