60 x 36 Inch Shower Pans
Part of our Showers guides.
60x36 adds four inches of depth over a standard tub alcove, which makes a noticeable difference in elbow room. The center-drain version was the cheapest 60x36 at $330.90; left and right drains ran $375.90-$389.90.
Who this size fits
Choose 60x36 when you can steal a few inches from the room, for example in a reworked layout or a former linen closet.
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.
Where 60x36 fits
Alcoves that are deeper than a standard tub, former closets combined with a bathroom, or new builds where you set the framing. Those extra four inches over 60x32 make turning around and washing hair much more comfortable.
Price surprise
When we checked, the center-drain 60x36 ($330.90) was cheaper than any 60x32 version. If you have the space and a centered drain, it's both bigger and less expensive.
Door options
A 60-inch opening suits sliding doors like VEVOR's 58-59 inch frameless slider. If the shower is open on one long side and one short side, look at corner configurations instead.
Accessibility
Deeper stalls work better with shower chairs and benches; a 36-inch depth leaves room to sit and still reach the controls.
Frequently asked questions
Will a 60x36 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.
Does a 60x36 pan fit a standard tub alcove?
Standard alcoves are about 30-32 inches deep, so you'd need to extend the space.
Which drain position is cheapest?
When we checked, the center drain 60x36 was cheapest at $330.90.
Can I add a bench?
Yes, 36 inches deep allows a small bench while leaving standing room.
What door fits?
A 60-inch sliding door fits the opening.
