Product Information
Full details
The Balterley Contemporary Rectangular Shower Tray is an ideal choice for homeowners and renovators seeking a high-quality, modern foundation for their shower space. Featuring a sleek slate grey finish, it provides a sophisticated look that complements both light and dark bathroom aesthetics. While its low-profile design creates an open, minimalist bathroom environment, professional installation is recommended due to the weight and precise leveling requirements of stone-based products.

FAQs
What is the material of the tray?
This tray is constructed from a durable stone composite material designed for strength and longevity.
Can this tray be installed flush with the floor?
While the tray features a low-profile design, it is generally intended to sit on top of the subfloor. Consult a professional installer if you intend to pursue a full wet-room style installation.
Does the tray include a waste trap?
The tray is supplied as the base unit. Please verify with your supplier if a specific waste kit is included, as these often need to be purchased separately to match your plumbing requirements.
How do I clean the textured slate surface?
Use a soft microfiber cloth with warm soapy water. Avoid wire brushes or heavy abrasive pads which could scratch the finish.
Is the surface slippery?
The stone texture provides a naturally better grip than standard glossy acrylic trays, though care should always be taken in wet environments.
Troubleshooting
Water pooling on one side of the tray
Verify the tray was installed perfectly level; if the tray tilts, the substrate underneath needs to be adjusted.
Sealant peeling away from walls
Remove old silicone, clean the surface with isopropyl alcohol, and re-apply high-grade bathroom-specific sanitary silicone.
Surface appears cloudy
This is often soap or limescale buildup. Clean with a soft cloth and a gentle, non-abrasive bathroom surface cleaner.

Installation
