60 x 30 Inch Shower Pans
Part of our Showers guides.
60x30 is the narrowest standard size, for tight bathrooms or alcoves with thick wall tile. The left-drain version was $319.90 and the right-drain $350.90 when checked.
Who this size fits
30 inches is tight for larger adults and makes a shower seat hard to fit; consider 60x32 if you can.
Picking the drain side
Face the shower opening. Drain on your left = left-drain pan. Moving a drain in a concrete slab means cutting concrete, so match the pan to your existing drain whenever possible.

Install notes
Most acrylic pans should be set in a bed of mortar or as the manual specifies so the floor doesn't flex. Full steps: how to install a shower pan.
When a 30-inch depth makes sense
Narrow alcoves, older homes with thick plaster walls, or bathrooms where a vanity or toilet sits close to the shower front. It's the most compact standard 60-inch base.
Comfort tips for a narrow shower
- Use a shower panel or handheld so you can direct water without stepping back.
- Choose a sliding door to avoid a door swinging into the shower or room.
- Recessed niches save elbow room compared with hanging caddies.
Prices we saw
$319.90 for the left drain and $350.90 for the right drain. Moving a drain to match a cheaper pan is rarely worth it.
Consider 60x32
If your alcove is 31-32 inches deep, the extra two inches of a 60x32 pan make a noticeable difference.
Frequently asked questions
Will a 60x30 pan fit my tub alcove?
Measure the alcove wall-to-wall and front-to-back at the floor. Alcoves are rarely perfectly square, so allow for the flange.
Do I need a curb kit too?
No, acrylic pans have a built-in threshold; curb kits are for tiled floors.
Is 30 inches deep enough for a shower?
It meets common minimums but feels snug; 32-36 inches is more comfortable.
Can I add a seat to a 30-inch shower?
A fold-down seat works better than a fixed bench in a narrow shower.
What door fits a 60x30 shower?
A 60-inch sliding door fits the opening.
Do I need a different drain?
Use the pan's included drain kit; match drain side to your plumbing.
