Product Information
Full details
The Balterley 1100 x 700mm rectangular stone shower tray is designed for homeowners and renovators seeking a sleek, low-profile foundation for slimline shower enclosures. Its standout benefit is the authentic Metallic Slate finish, which provides a high-end, textured aesthetic that anchors a bathroom design; however, potential users should note that the stone resin composition requires careful handling during installation due to its substantial weight.

FAQs
Can I cut this shower tray to fit a specific alcove?
No, this stone resin tray is manufactured with a finished edge and cannot be cut to size without compromising its structural integrity and warranty.
What is the weight of the tray?
As a stone resin product, it is heavy; we recommend professional assistance for lifting and positioning to avoid injury.
Is the surface cold to the touch?
While it is a dense stone product, it retains ambient temperature well, but it is recommended to let it warm with water before entering the shower.
What kind of waste trap do I need?
This tray is designed to work with standard high-flow shower wastes; verify the diameter requirement in your specific model specifications.
Can this be installed at floor level?
The low-profile design is intended to sit very close to the floor, but always consult with a professional plumber regarding your specific floor construction and drainage depth.
Troubleshooting
Water pooling near the waste outlet
Verify that the tray was installed perfectly level using a spirit level during the initial setup.
Silicone seal pulling away from the wall
Ensure the wall surface is clean and dry before applying 100% silicone sealant, and allow it to cure for at least 24 hours before use.
Stubborn surface marks on the slate finish
Use a soft-bristled brush with mild detergent to gently lift grime from the textured grooves.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-end textured slate finish provides excellent aesthetic appeal
- Sturdy stone resin build ensures long-term structural integrity
- Low-profile design allows for a modern, open-plan look
- Ideal dimensions for slimline or non-standard bathroom layouts
Cons
- Heavyweight material requires two-person handling for installation
- Specific dimensions require precise planning of drain placement
- Matte stone textures may require more consistent cleaning than gloss surfaces
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of this stone resin tray requires a completely level floor surface to prevent drainage issues. Due to its weight, ensure your subfloor is reinforced to support the stone construction. Always check the waste outlet alignment against your existing plumbing before final seating.
For daily care, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, which can dull the slate texture over time. A simple rinse with warm, soapy water and a soft microfibre cloth is typically sufficient to maintain the finish. If a deeper clean is required, use a non-acidic bathroom cleaner specifically approved for stone-effect resin products.
