Get Your Free Estimate 07946 200666 5★ rated Quote within 24 hours Specialist surface restoration trade Fully insured & DBS-checked Quote within 24 hours Newport-based, South Wales-wide Service Overview ## A specialist trade — done properly, the first time. Slips in baths and showers cause around 200,000 hospital admissions in the UK every year — and rubber mats, grip stickers and abrasive strips all look terrible and trap dirt. Specialist anti-slip coatings provide certified slip resistance with no visible change to the surface. ### What it is Application of a transparent or colour-matched anti-slip aggregate coating to baths, shower trays, floor tiles and stairs — providing R10, R11 or R12 rated slip resistance underfoot. ### Who it's for Families with young children; elderly homeowners and their families; care homes and assisted living; hotels and B&Bs reducing liability; gyms and leisure centres; commercial premises with HSE compliance needs. ### When it's needed Proactively as part of bath or floor restoration; reactively after a slip incident or near-miss; or as part of HSE risk-assessment compliance. ### Why a specialist matters Conventional anti-slip products (mats, stickers, abrasive strips) trap soap, water and bacteria, look unsightly, and rarely meet HSE standards. Coating-based anti-slip is invisible, hygienic, certified and lasts for years. What Happens If You Wait ## Small problems rarely stay small. A bathroom slip can be life-changing — particularly for older adults — and most happen in homes that already have rubber mats or stickers in place. ### The risks of leaving it Bathroom slips cause around 200,000 UK hospital admissions every year - Hip and head injuries from bath/shower slips are particularly serious in older adults - Insurance liability for landlords and commercial premises after slip incidents - HSE non-compliance for gyms, leisure centres and care homes - Rubber mats trap bacteria, mould and limescale — a hygiene risk - Existing 'anti-slip' stickers and strips peel, discolour and look unsightly ### Common mistakes we see - Relying on rubber mats that move and trap moisture - Using abrasive strips that look ugly and lift over time - Assuming a textured tile is automatically slip-safe (most aren't) - Skipping anti-slip on bathrooms used by young children or elderly relatives - Choosing visible 'safety' products over discreet specialist coatings Our Process ## A clear, controlled, repeatable system. 01 ### Assess We assess the surface, slip risk profile and required R-rating (R10/R11/R12). 02 ### Prepare Surface is cleaned, degreased and keyed for the coating to bond properly. 03 ### Apply Anti-slip aggregate is integrated into a transparent or colour-matched coating. 04 ### Cure Coating is cured in controlled conditions for full slip-resistance development. 05 ### Test & Hand Back Slip resistance verified, area handed back, and the work. Why It Pays Off ## Concrete benefits, not vague promises. ### Invisible underfoot No visible change to the surface — looks like the original bath, tray or floor. ### Certified R10–R12 Anti-slip ratings to recognised standards, suitable for HSE-compliant environments. ### Hygienic and sealed No mats, no stickers, no places for bacteria to colonise. ### Bath and tray compatible Standard add-on to bath and shower tray restoration work. ### Tile and stone capable Available for floor tiles and stone surfaces in wet areas. In Detail ## Anti-Slip Coatings: materials, methods and applications. Anti-slip coatings are graded by R-rating against standardised tests — R10 for normal residential bathrooms, R11–R12 for higher-risk and commercial environments. Selecting the right rating, aggregate size and topcoat is critical to the result. ### Materials & Coatings - Transparent and colour-matched anti-slip topcoats - Graded aggregate systems (R10, R11, R12) - Substrate-specific bonding primers - UV-stable systems for windowed bathrooms - Antimicrobial topcoat additives ### Methods & Techniques - R-rating selection by use case - Spot or full-surface application - Aggregate size matched to comfort vs grip balance - Edge-feathering for invisible visual blending - Full slip-resistance verification before hand-back ### Service Variations - Bath standing-area anti-slip - Shower tray anti-slip retrofit - Floor tile anti-slip coating - Stair tread anti-slip - Commercial pool and changing room anti-slip - Care home assisted-bathing anti-slip ### Where It Applies - Family homes with young children - Homes with elderly residents - Care homes and assisted living facilities - Hotels, B&Bs and serviced apartments - Gyms, leisure centres and pools - HSE-compliant commercial bathrooms ### Residential vs commercial For commercial premises — gyms, leisure centres, care homes — we provide HSE-aligned R-rating selection, full slip-test documentation and consistent application across multiple units. Out-of-hours scheduling and per-unit pricing available.
