Anti-Slip Bathroom Flooring in Burslem
Specialist wall and floor tiling — including large-format and stone.
Slippery bathroom floors cause more falls in Burslem homes than any other room — and a shiny polished porcelain rated R9 gives you almost no bare-foot grip when it's wet.
We spec R11 or R12 rated finishes for the wet zone as standard on any accessibility-driven job, cove the flooring to the wall where a wet-room finish is called for, and test slip resistance on the sample tile with a wet foot before you commit.
Most of our bathroom & wet-zone tiling jobs in Burslem begin with a slow walk round the house, not a quote on the doorstep.

Anti-Slip Bathroom Flooring FAQs — Burslem
- What slip rating do I need for a Burslem bathroom?
- R10 minimum for standard bathrooms, R11 for shower and wet zones, R12 for step-free wet rooms. We advise based on who uses the room in Burslem.
- Does anti-slip flooring feel rough?
- Modern R11 porcelains have a fine micro-texture — grippy wet, comfortable dry. Nothing like the coarse anti-slip vinyls of 20 years ago.
- Can existing flooring be treated to make it non-slip?
- Yes — a chemical etch on porcelain can lift slip resistance one class in some cases. We survey and test before recommending on Burslem jobs.
- Do you cove the flooring to the wall?
- For wet rooms and accessibility installs, yes — 100mm coved upstand, welded seams. Standard bathrooms don't need it.
- How quickly can you start a job in Burslem?
- Lead time is usually two to five weeks from a confirmed quote, depending on the spec and our current schedule across the Staffordshire side.
- Are you fully insured for work in Burslem?
- Yes — we hold full public liability cover and every job in Burslem comes with a written workmanship guarantee.
