Product Information
Full details
The Balterley Stone Shower Tray (900 x 760mm) is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a durable, minimalist foundation for a modern shower enclosure. Its primary benefit is the solid stone resin construction, which provides superior rigidity and resistance to warping compared to standard acrylic trays. However, users should note that the substantial weight of the stone resin material requires careful handling and a perfectly level subfloor during installation to ensure long-term performance.

FAQs
Does this tray come with a waste kit?
The product description covers the tray itself; please check your specific package contents as waste kits are typically sold separately.
Can I install this directly onto floorboards?
It is highly recommended to install the tray on a solid, level surface. Placing it directly on floorboards may lead to uneven stress and potential damage.
What tools do I need for installation?
You will need a spirit level, silicone sealant gun, a tape measure, and potentially adhesive or mortar for leveling.
Is the white finish slippery?
While the finish is smooth for easy cleaning, it is standard for shower trays. Using a bath mat is recommended for additional slip resistance.
How do I maintain the stone resin material?
Simply wipe down with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid acidic cleaners that could damage the surface texture.
Troubleshooting
Water pooling in the corners
Check the level of the tray using a spirit level. If the tray is tilted away from the waste, it must be repositioned.
Sealant peeling away from the upstand
Remove the old sealant completely, ensure the area is dry, and re-apply a high-quality, mold-resistant silicone sealant.
Tray feels slightly uneven underfoot
The floor underneath is likely not level. The tray may need to be lifted and the subfloor leveled with a self-leveling compound.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation:
- Ensure the subfloor is structurally sound, clean, and completely level.
- Apply a thin bed of mortar or a leveling compound if the floor is uneven to prevent future cracking.
- Position the tray, ensuring the upstands are flush against the wall studs.
- Use high-quality bathroom sealant along the upstands before installing wall boards or tiles.
Compatibility:
- Designed for standard 900 x 760mm shower enclosures or wetroom-style screens.
- Ensure the waste unit matches the outlet hole size provided in your specific batch.
Care Instructions:
- Clean regularly with warm, soapy water or a non-abrasive bathroom cleaner.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, bleach, or scouring pads, as these may dull the finish over time.
- Check sealant joints annually for signs of wear to ensure the waterproof seal remains intact.
