Made to measure

About us — Marlan, solid surface manufacturer since 1986

Marlan workshop in the Netherlands where craftsmen build a seamless solid surface shower tray by hand.

For more than 35 years we have made one thing very well: seamless, made-to-measure shower trays in solid surface. Everything is built by hand in our own workshop in the Netherlands and delivered straight to your door — no resellers, no middlemen, no in-between mark-ups. This page tells you who we are and what you can expect when you order from us.

Who is Marlan?

Marlan started in 1986 and has been working with solid surface ever since. In that time the trends have changed, but our approach has not: we design and produce every shower tray to the exact size of your bathroom, in our own workshop in the Netherlands.

That continuity matters. As a dedicated solid surface manufacturer we know the material inside out — how it casts, how it bonds into a single seamless piece, and how it behaves after years of daily use. When you call us, you reach the people who actually make your tray, not a call centre.

  • Manufacturing solid surface since 1986
  • Built in our own workshop in the Netherlands
  • Made-to-measure as standard, not a special request
  • Direct contact with the people who make your tray

Direct from the manufacturer, no middlemen

We sell directly to you. Because there is no chain of distributors and retailers between us, you deal with the source — and you pay for the product, not for everyone else's margin along the way.

Working directly also means clear communication. You tell us your dimensions, drain position and colour; we confirm them, and for any made-to-measure tray we send you a production drawing to approve before we start cutting. Nothing goes into production until you have signed it off, so there are no surprises when your tray arrives.

This direct line is one of the reasons people choose a shower tray manufacturer over a generic web shop: the same team handles your quote, your drawing, your production and your delivery.

Our quality

A Marlan shower tray is made from massive solid surface — a mineral composite that is 24 mm thick and colour-through. Because the colour runs through the entire material, a scratch or scuff sands out and the tray stays fully repairable for its whole life.

It is cast as one seamless piece, so there are no joints, no grout lines and nowhere for water or dirt to collect. The surface is 100% waterproof, with a built-in fall towards the drain and a matte, slip-resistant microtexture finished with a soft rounded R2 edge. The drain cover is colour-matched and supplied to suit a point drain (centre, left or right) or a linear channel drain.

A quick word on materials, because the names get mixed up:

  • Solid surface — the mineral composite we use. The colour runs through the full thickness, so it is fully repairable.
  • Mineral cast — a gelcoat-coated surface where only the top layer carries the colour and finish. Damage that reaches through the coating cannot simply be sanded out.

We make our trays from solid surface for exactly that reason: it keeps looking good for years and stays serviceable.
