This category brings together non-slip bathroom tiles for floors and selected walls — riven slate, textured ceramic and matt porcelain options from across our wider bathroom tiles collection.

Free cut samples are available to test grip and colour at home, with flexible finance to help spread the cost of your project.
Why choose non slip bathroom tiles?
Bathrooms are high-moisture spaces where water, soap and shampoo can make smooth tiles hazardous underfoot — especially on floors and inside walk-in showers where standing water pools quickly.
A textured or R-rated tile makes a real difference in daily use. Our non slip bathroom floor tiles range is worth browsing first if floors are your main priority.
- Extra grip underfoot in family bathrooms and wet rooms where floors stay wet for longer.
- Peace of mind for households with children, elderly relatives or reduced mobility.
- Better traction near baths, on shower floors and on any stepped areas.
- Compliance with recommended slip-resistance ratings for wet areas where applicable.
Slate, porcelain and ceramic non slip tiles
The key materials on this page are natural slate with a riven surface, textured ceramic tiles and matt-finish porcelain — each achieving grip through different means and suited to different bathroom styles.
Natural slate relies on its organic, uneven surface; porcelain and ceramic use tested R-ratings and engineered texture. For budget-conscious buyers, a selection of cheap bathroom tiles in matt and textured finishes also carry adequate non-slip ratings.
- Riven slate tiles: Natural texture, multi-tone black and rust shades — excellent grip and genuine rustic character.
- Textured ceramic tiles: Engineered surface texture for added traction, well suited to smaller bathrooms and wall applications.
- Matt porcelain tiles: Durable, low water absorption and solid slip resistance in tested R-rated finishes.
- Concrete-effect porcelains: Tapa matt tiles for modern, urban bathrooms with a muted, industrial tone.
- Outdoor-suitable tiles: Some options carry outdoor ratings, making them a practical choice for running the same tile from a garden room or patio into a bathroom where specs allow.

Design ideas with non slip bathroom tiles
Safety and style are not in conflict here. Riven slate floors bring warmth and raw texture to a space; concrete-effect porcelain reads as deliberate and contemporary rather than purely functional.
Pairing a grip-rated floor tile with a different wall tile lets both surfaces contribute to the final look. Our floor tile ideas article covers 25 layout examples worth looking through before committing to a scheme.
- Black riven slate floors with white walls — strong contrast with a natural, grounded quality.
- Multi-tone slate in walk-in showers and wet rooms for texture and a spa-like depth of colour.
- Matt concrete-effect porcelain floors with smooth white wall tiles for a clean, paired-back modern look.
- Non-slip floors mixed with marble-effect or wood-effect wall tiles — the floor stays safe while the walls carry the decorative weight.

Non slip bathroom tiles FAQs
Are non slip bathroom tiles only for floors?
Non-slip tiles are most important on floors and in shower enclosures, but some textured options are also suitable for wall use — check individual product specifications.

Look for R10 or above for wet areas and shower floors. A higher R-rating indicates greater grip on wet surfaces.

Slate is durable but may need sealing and appropriate cleaning products. Follow the manufacturer's care guidance to keep the surface in good condition.

Yes — non-slip floor tiles pair well with different wall finishes. Always prioritise the slip rating on floors when mixing tile types.
