Slippery onlywhen it is wet.

A tiled floor is safe when it is dry, and slippery with a little water on it. That is why so many falls at home happen in the bathroom, the laundry, and on the paving outside the back door.

Replacing the floor is costly, and the room is out of use for a week or more. Often the floor is fine, except that it has no grip when wet.

Everything here works on the floor you already have. Nothing is pulled up, most of it is done in one visit, and some of it can be removed when you move.

Which onedo you need?

It depends on the surface, and whether you need grip, a visible edge, or both.

  • Non-slip floor treatments

    A clear coating that gives tiles grip when wet, and looks the same when dry. For bathrooms and shower bases.

  • Non-slip tape and paint

    Grip strips and bright edges for shower bases, step edges, and outdoor paths. No drilling.

  • Stair nosings and strips

    A tough, bright, non-slip edge on every step, for stairs you use every day.

How itworks.

  1. A clear, fixed quote

    We look at your floors on a site visit, or quote from your occupational therapist’s report.

  2. One visit to apply

    We clean and prepare the surface, then apply the treatment, tape, or strips. A coated floor needs a few hours to set.

  3. Backed by warranty

    All work is done by licensed tradespeople and backed by the relevant warranties.

Who wehelp.

  • Older people

    A floor you can trust, even when it is wet.

  • People whose eyesight has changed

    Bright edges on steps, so you can see where each one ends.

  • Renters

    Most non-slip work can be removed, so it rarely needs permission.

  • Families and carers

    Fewer slips in the bathroom and on the back step.

When the floor needsreplacing.

If tiles are cracked or loose, or the floor is worn through, a treatment won’t help. Then new flooring, chosen for grip, is the answer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you make my existing bathroom floor safer without retiling?
Usually, yes. A clear non-slip treatment gives your floor grip when wet, without changing how it looks when dry. It works on most tiles, vinyl, timber, concrete, and shower bases. You only need new tiles if the floor itself is damaged, such as cracked tiles or a leak.
Which should I choose — a treatment, tape, or nosings?
A treatment for a whole wet floor you want to keep looking the same. Tape or paint for step edges, or if you rent. Stair nosings for stairs you use every day, because tape would wear out there. Many homes end up with a treatment in the bathroom and nosings on the steps.
Will it change how my floor looks?
A clear treatment is almost invisible when dry; you feel the difference underfoot when it is wet. Tape, paint, and nosings are meant to be seen, because part of their job is to show you where an edge is.
Can non-slip work be done in a rental?
Yes, and it is one of the easiest changes to get agreed. Tape, paint, and strips can be taken up again, and our clear treatments sit on top of the tile, so they can be removed. Nothing is drilled.
How long before I can use the room again?
Tape and strips can be used straight away. A clear treatment needs to set before you walk on it or get it wet. It is a matter of hours, not days, and we will tell you exactly how long on the day.
