Anti-Slip Bathroom Flooring in Trentham
Specialist wall and floor tiling — including large-format and stone.
Slippery bathroom floors cause more falls in Trentham 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.
Bathroom & Wet-Zone Tiling in Trentham isn't a one-template job — every house we walk into reveals something different.

Anti-Slip Bathroom Flooring FAQs — Trentham
- What slip rating do I need for a Trentham 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 Trentham.
- 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 Trentham 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.
- Do you tidy up at the end of each day?
- Yes — dust sheets stay down, the room is hoovered daily and we leave your Trentham home liveable while the work runs.
- Are you fully insured for work in Trentham?
- Yes — we hold full public liability cover and every job in Trentham comes with a written workmanship guarantee.
