Hi, I would like to find out is it possible to lay another layer of non slippery tiles for bathroom floor and not having to remove existing tiles below? My bathroom tile is the smooth type, hence gets slippery when it is wet. I had an accident recently when I was cleaning the bathroom so am thinking to add on another layer of rough tiles.

Any complications from this if it can be done and if let's say god forbid, my bathroom floor is causing leakages for unit downstairs. Please advise.

Thanks all for your feedback. Yeah, I prefer not to use those mat because that requires constant cleaning but for short term solution, I suppose should be alright.


Glad to know that this is possible without hacking of existing tiles.

What non slip treatment is this..something to paint over the tiles?

I just checked the website, this does look like a possible solution. Would you have any idea whether the cost would be lower than laying a layer of tiles instead?

I have some inquiries which I am sure others might be interested to know as well.

1. Is a layer of waterproofing needed before coating is done?
2. How long does the process takes and how long is curing?
3. Is it easy to wash bathroom floor with this coating?
4. How many layer of coating is done for each area?
5. Will the surface becomes as slippery as smooth tiles when the 5 years duration is up or will there still be some grip left?
6. Do you charge for consultation only?
7. Coating price - how do you charge? (you can PM price if you don't wish to reveal here)

Thank you.

Thanks, I have contacted them for inquiries and quotation.

If it is more cost effective to go with tiles, then I might consider that instead. The epoxy coating looks kind of cool though but I need to know what type of maintenance is required for long lasting.

This is not possible as the next room is the bedroom. I will have to increase the height of the bedroom floor tiles then if I were to make the toilet tile barrier higher.

Will the coating get mouldy easily from hot air moisture?

I am interested to know as well the difference. Which is better?

A contractor told me there is a risk with hacking existing bathroom tiles. If not done properly by the worker especially water proofing, it might cause future leaking problem to unit below. Then additional cost is needed to rectify the problem if this happens. That is my concern.
