Anti-Skid Treatment, done the right way.
An anti-skid (anti-slip) treatment increases the wet grip of a hard floor without changing how it looks. On stone and porcelain a controlled chemical process micro-etches the surface so it grips a wet shoe or foot; on other surfaces an invisible grip coating or an aggregate additive is used. It is measured — the aim is to move the floor above the safe wet slip-resistance threshold, not to make it rough.
These treatments are diagnostic first — the right fix for a slippery floor, a scratch or a stain depends entirely on the material and the cause, so every job starts with identifying what you actually have and what went wrong.
The process
How floor treatment anti-skid treatment works.
Step 01
Slip test
We measure the current wet slip resistance and identify the material, so the correct treatment and dwell time are used.
Step 02
Clean & mask
The area is deep-cleaned and adjacent surfaces protected.
Step 03
Apply & dwell
The treatment is applied and held for a controlled time — too short and it fails, too long and it dulls the finish — then neutralised and rinsed.
Step 04
Re-test & document
We re-measure to confirm the floor now meets the target, and give you a before/after record.

The result you get.

- ✓Invisible — no change to colour, sheen or texture you can see
- ✓Documented before/after slip readings for insurance and compliance
- ✓Works on marble, granite, Kota, porcelain, vitrified tile and more
- ✓Far cheaper than re-laying with a textured floor
When you need it
Is this the right service?

Floor Scratch Removal →
Scratch removal is spot refinishing — abrading a scratched area back below the depth of the scratch and re-building the finish to match the surrounding floor.
Water Stain Removal →
Water leaves several different marks on a floor and each needs a different fix: hard-water mineral film that sits on top, water rings and cloudiness where moisture has penetrated stone, white bloom trapped under a wood or resin finish, and efflorescence — salts carried up through stone and tile by damp.
Grouting & Regrouting →
Whole-floor grout work across any tiled or stone-tile surface: filling joints that were never grouted properly, raking out and replacing grout that has cracked, crumbled or discoloured, and colour-sealing sound-but-ugly grout to a uniform shade.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions, answered.
Will it make my polished floor look dull?
Applied correctly, no — the process is controlled to raise grip while keeping the finish. Over-application dulls stone, which is exactly why it should be tested and timed, not just poured on.
My floor treatment has floors that are hazardous underfoot when wet — bathrooms, lobbies, ramps, poolside — can anti-skid treatment fix that?
Yes — that is exactly what anti-skid treatment addresses on floor treatment. We confirm the cause on the free site visit and quote the fix in writing. Treat any floor that is dangerous when wet — a bathroom someone has slipped in, a lobby that streams in the monsoon, a ramp, a commercial kitchen, a pool deck, a clinic or a care home where a fall is serious.
How do I keep my floor treatment looking good afterwards?
The essentials: keep entrance matting in place — most floor damage walks in on shoes; fix leaks and condensation; standing water is behind most slips and stains. We leave you a written care plan for the specific finish.
