Slate Effect Shower Trays
Slate effect shower trays are low-profile bathroom shower bases crafted from stone resin with a textured surface that mimics the look and feel of natural slate. Unlike standard acrylic trays, these stone resin shower trays provide a rustic, high-end finish that is incredibly durable and naturally slip-resistant. Engineered to be just 30mm thick, our slate effect shower base collection combines a modern, minimalist look with a Grade-2 anti-slip rating, offering a safe and stylish foundation for any contemporary shower enclosure.
Why Choose a Slate Effect Shower Tray for Your Bathroom?
Slate effect shower trays offer a unique blend of organic style and practical performance.
-
Natural Aesthetic Appeal: In comparison to plain acrylic shower trays, the slate skin finish of these trays offers an elegant and rustic appearance that adds texture and character to your bathroom floor.
-
Superior Safety: Superior safety is another reason why you should prefer stone resin shower trays. All of our trays in this range feature a Grade-2 Anti-Slip surface (Class C/PN24), providing maximum grip even when the surface is wet and soapy. Additionally, their slimline design makes them an attractive choice for anyone looking for a minimalist option.
-
Slimline Design: At just 30mm thick, these low-profile trays allow for level-access installation, perfect for creating a seamless walk-in shower enclosure or wetroom look.
-
Versatile Colour Options: We have them available in various finishes such as elegant white, contemporary grey, or bold black finishes to match your specific bathroom decor.
What Materials are Slate Effect Shower Trays Made From?
At Royal Bathrooms, we prioritise longevity by using premium materials and advanced manufacturing:
-
Durable Stone Resin: Each tray is die-cast at 180°C using a stone resin core, ensuring zero breakage and a heavy, solid feel underfoot.
-
Protective Gel Coating: The surface is finished with a tough gel coat that is highly resistant to scratches, chips, and cracks.
-
High-Flow Drainage: Every tray is supplied with a mega-flow waste, capable of draining a large amount of water per minute to prevent overspill.
What Shapes and Sizes are Available in the Slate Range?
To ensure compatibility with any shower enclosure, our slate shower tray range comes in a variety of configurations:
-
Rectangular & Square: Ideal for large walk-in showers or standard corner enclosures.
-
Quadrant & Offset Quadrant: Space-saving designs that fit perfectly into the corner of smaller en-suites.
-
Universal Compatibility: These trays are designed to work seamlessly with all standard UK glass shower doors and wetroom screens.
Which Slate Effect Shower Tray Sizes Can You Choose From?
The most commonly available slate effect shower tray sizes include 700mm, 800mm, 900mm, 1000mm, 1200mm, 1400mm, 1600mm, and 1700mm options. Smaller sizes such as 700mm and 800mm trays are ideal for cloakrooms, en-suite bathrooms, or limited spaces where efficient use of floor area is essential. Moving up, 900mm and 1000mm trays offer a comfortable showering area while still fitting standard bathroom layouts, making them one of the most popular choices for modern homes.
For larger bathrooms or shower enclosure installations, 1200mm, 1400mm, 1600mm, and 1700mm slate effect trays provide generous standing space and are perfectly suited for walk-in shower enclosures. These larger formats create an open, spa-like feel and allow compatibility with sliding, pivot, or frameless glass shower screens
How Do You Clean and Maintain a Slate Effect Shower Tray?
Despite the textured surface, our slate effect trays are remarkably easy to maintain. The non-porous gel-coated surface prevents dirt and limescale from gripping the material. For daily cleaning, a simple wipe with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth is all that is required to keep the "natural stone" finish looking brand new for years.
What Is the Anti-Slip Rating of These Shower Trays?
Safety is a core feature of our slate collection. Our trays carry a Class 3 / PN24 anti-slip rating, which is the highest safety grade available for shower trays. This makes them the ideal choice for family bathrooms, elderly users, or anyone looking for "peace of mind" without sacrificing the beauty of a luxury stone finish.
Do These Shower Trays Come with a Guarantee?
Yes. We are so confident in the die-cast stone resin construction that every slate effect tray comes with a Lifetime Guarantee. This covers you against manufacturing defects, ensuring that your shower base remains a durable and beautiful part of your home for a lifetime.
