Why showers fail

Water, Bare Feet And Soap Turn A Normal Floor Into A Fall Waiting To Happen

Showers carry slip risks generic anti-slip products can't handle. Constant moisture, foot traffic and smooth wet surfaces combine into an environment where slips aren't just possible: they're predictable without proper treatment.

Gym & Aquatic

A member slips in a communal shower after a workout. A broken wrist, a cancelled membership, and a liability claim the operator has to answer for.

Aged Care & Retirement

A resident falls in their walk-in shower. The first question asked: did the facility meet wet barefoot slip resistance standards, and can you show it?

Family Home

An acrylic or tiled shower base gets dangerously slippery. Acid treatments would wreck the surface, what's needed is an acrylic-safe fix that looks the same.

Hospital & Healthcare

A shower recess fails an infection-control and slip-resistance audit, and needs a hygienic, certified solution without rough textures that trap bacteria.

Every one of these is avoidable. Stellmann's coating reduces the slip risk and documents it, while keeping the look and feel of the shower you already have.

TWO WAYS TO PROTECT YOUR SHOWERS

Same Certified Coating. You Choose Who Applies It

How professional treatment works

Slip Safety Is A Process — Not A One-Time Fix

Clean, low-odour, and built around your schedule. Evenings, weekends or staged sections, so the shower's barely out of action.

1

Profile

We test slip resistance across every surface in the shower, find the high-risk zones, and recommend the right P-rating. 30–60 minutes, no cost, no obligation.

2

Treat

Certified technicians apply the coating. No acid, no etching, no grinding. The process is clean and most showers are walk-ready within hours.

3

Verify

Every treated area is slip-tested again and issued a documented P-rating certificate to AS 4586: the evidence insurers and auditors ask for.

4

Maintain

You get a plain-English maintenance guide and an optional re-test schedule, so the floor stays safer for years when cared for as specified.

MULTI-SURFACE COMPATIBLE

Tested Across Every Surface a Shower Throws at It.

Showers mix materials — and each one slips differently. Stellmann's coating is tested and rated across all the common ones.

Tiles

Tiles

Ceramic & porcelain shower walls and bases.

Stellmann vs acid etching

Most "Anti-Slip" Treatments Attack The Surface. Ours Bonds To It

Acid etching chemically roughens a surface to add grip. It works for a while — then the finish pays for it.

Acid Etching

Chemically attacks and dulls the surface
Can damage finishes and affect surface warranties
Grip often fades within months in constant moisture
Rough texture can trap dirt and bacteria
Rarely comes with documented test results

Stellmann Coating

Dual-component coating bonds without chemical damage
Nearly invisible: the shower looks the same
Formulated to hold up in wet, high-traffic showers
Smooth, hygienic finish that's easy to clean
Documented P-rating to AS 4586 for every treated area

12 of 14 bathrooms initially failed AS 4663. After a single Stellmann install, all 14 passed P4 — without changing a single tile.

Questions, answered

Shower Coating FAQs

Will the coating change how my shower looks?

No. The coating is designed to be nearly invisible. Your shower looks the same after treatment — just with more grip underfoot. Unlike acid treatments that etch and dull the surface, it preserves the original finish and feel.

What surfaces can you treat in a shower?

Tiles, ceramics, acrylic and fibreglass, natural stone, and glass mosaic. Our technicians assess your specific surfaces during the free site assessment and match the right treatment to each material.

What slip rating does a shower need?

Residential showers are commonly treated to P3 wet barefoot under AS 4586. The right rating depends on the surface, the setting and how it's used. We confirm the appropriate rating during the free assessment, and higher ratings are available for commercial environments.

Can I apply it myself?

Yes. The DIY kit contains the same tested formula our technicians use, plus an applicator and plain-English instructions. Most people finish a shower in under a day with no special tools. For compliance-critical commercial showers, we recommend the professional service.

How long does it last?

When installed and maintained as specified, the coating gives multi-year performance in showers — and typically lasts years longer than acid etching in wet conditions. Lifespan depends on traffic, moisture and cleaning. A maintenance guide comes with every treatment and every kit.

What's the difference between the kit and the professional service?

Both use the same tested formula. The professional service adds on-site assessment, certified application, a documented P-rating certificate to AS 4586, and an install support promise. The DIY kit is the cost-effective option for homeowners comfortable applying it themselves.

How long does professional application take?

Most shower treatments are done within a single day, with treated areas walk-ready within hours. We work around your schedule — evenings, weekends or staged sections — to keep disruption to a minimum.
