Anti Slip Guards is a professional anti-slip treatment for tile and stone floors in Singapore, most often bathrooms, kitchens and balconies. The treatment creates microscopic texture inside the tile itself, with nothing added on top, and every job includes a machine deep clean and a slip-meter reading before and after. Pricing starts from $150.

Anti-slip coating is a gritty film applied on top of a floor, while Anti Slip Guards' anti-slip treatment creates microscopic texture inside the tile itself. A coating can peel, wear thin or yellow over time, especially in bathrooms that get wet twice a day. The treatment has nothing on the surface to wear off.
Bathrooms and showers face water at least twice a day, which is exactly the kind of repeat wet exposure that wears a film-based coating out fastest at the edges.
A coating still makes sense for vinyl, timber or painted concrete, since anti-slip treatment only works on tile and stone.
It's not a coating, it's a treatment. Nothing sits on top of the tile in an Anti Slip Guards job, so there is nothing to peel, chip or wear away.
| Property | Anti-slip coating | Anti Slip Guards treatment |
|---|---|---|
| What sits on the floor | A gritty film on top of the tile | Microscopic texture inside the tile itself |
| Look | Visible film; can yellow over time | Looks the same |
| Wear | Wears thin, peels at edges, needs redoing | Nothing to peel; grip declines only if left dirty |
| Wet grip | Depends on how much film is left | Grip engages when the floor is wet |
| Surfaces | Most surfaces, including vinyl and timber | Tile and stone only |
| Proof it worked | Verification rarely offered | Slip-meter reading before and after |
Anti Slip Guards is an anti-slip treatment built for mineral floors: ceramic, porcelain, homogeneous tile, granite, selected natural stone and concrete. It cannot be used on bathtubs, vinyl or timber. Most jobs cover bathrooms and showers, kitchens, balconies and yards, or outdoor tile and entrances, since these are the areas that get wet and slippery in a Singapore home.
Bathrooms, kitchens and balconies are tile or stone in almost every Singapore home, which is exactly where wet-floor slips happen.
Anti-slip floor treatment works in stages: our trained team assesses the floor, runs a machine deep clean, tests a small sample area so you can feel the wet grip, then treats the full floor in up to an hour, depending on size. Anti Slip Guards finishes with a before-and-after slip-meter reading, so the improvement is measured, not assumed.
Anti Slip Guards measures whether the anti-slip treatment works with an American, NFSI-approved slip meter, the same equipment used by many in the commercial industry and the highest-tier device in Singapore. An official reading is taken on your floor before treatment and again after, so the improvement is shown on the day, not just promised.
We don't ask you to take our word for it. The slip meter reading happens on your own floor, on the same day as the treatment, before and after.
Every treatment carries a 1-year warranty. Report a problem and our trained team comes down to test your floor with the meter; if the treatment is found to be underperforming, the spot treatment is done free.
No product can make a floor impossible to slip on, and Anti Slip Guards will not claim otherwise. What the meter shows is a measurable improvement in grip, on your own floor.
Anti-slip treatment, mats and re-tiling all reduce slip risk in different ways: mats cover a small area for months, re-tiling replaces the whole floor permanently but costs thousands and takes days, and Anti Slip Guards' anti-slip treatment covers the whole floor in about an hour without changing how it looks.
For a home with elderly parents, many families combine grab bars near the toilet and shower with a whole-floor anti-slip treatment. The bars support balance, and the treatment cuts the slip hazard underfoot everywhere else, not just where a mat happens to sit.
Mats and strips are reasonable stop-gaps. Check them monthly for curling edges and mould, since both are common failure points on floors that get wet daily.
| Method | How it works | Wet grip | Changes the look? | Weak point |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Anti-slip treatment | Creates microscopic texture inside the tile surface itself, with nothing added on top | Strong; grip engages when the floor is wet | No, the floor looks the same | Tile and stone only; floor should be kept reasonably clean |
| Anti-slip mats | Rubber or PVC mats placed over the slippery area | Good on the mat, none beside it | Yes | Mould collects underneath; edges curl over time |
| Adhesive strips | Textured tape strips or stickers stuck onto the tile | Only where the strip sits | Yes, a clinical look | Tends to peel within months on wet floors; dirt builds along the edges |
| Grab bars | Support bars installed beside the toilet and shower | Helps balance and recovery, not the floor's grip itself | Adds a visible fixture to the wall | Does not make the floor itself less slippery |
| Re-tiling | Hacking out the existing floor and laying new anti-slip tiles | Depends on the new tile chosen | Yes, an entirely new floor | Days of hacking noise and dust; bathroom unusable during the work |
Anti-slip treatment from Anti Slip Guards is zero VOC and low odour, with no curing time needed after application. Families can walk on the floor the same hour it is treated, which makes it practical for homes with kids, elderly parents and pets, without any airing-out period to plan around.
Anti-slip treatment from Anti Slip Guards lasts up to 3 years for a typical home, though that figure is typical performance rather than a guaranteed duration, since actual results depend on foot traffic and cleaning habits. Dirt build-up fills the microscopic texture over time, so a floor that is kept clean keeps its grip.
'Up to 3 years' is typical performance, not a guaranteed duration; actual results depend on traffic and upkeep.
Anti Slip Guards' anti-slip treatment starts from $150. Every job includes a machine deep clean and a slip-meter reading before and after, so the price covers the full process, not just the treatment step. The final figure depends on the size and condition of the area treated, confirmed after we see a photo of your floor.

Anti Slip Guards' anti-slip treatment is worth considering for older HDB bathrooms: 1 in 3 seniors above 65 in Singapore falls every year, closer to 1 in 2 above 80 (HPB-MOH guidelines), and a hip fracture hospitalisation averages around $14,000 (Singapore Medical Journal). No treatment removes all risk, but better grip changes the odds on a floor parents use daily.
1 in 3 seniors above 65 in Singapore falls every year. Above 80, it is closer to 1 in 2 (HPB-MOH Clinical Practice Guidelines on falls).
A hip fracture hospitalisation averages around $14,000 (Singapore Medical Journal cost studies).
Most elderly falls happen at home, and the bathroom, with water, soap and smooth tile every day, is where that risk concentrates.
No treatment removes the risk entirely, and Anti Slip Guards will not claim otherwise. What it gives is a measurably better grip on the floor your family already stands on every day.
Anti Slip Guards backs every anti-slip treatment with a 1-year warranty. If you report a problem, our trained team tests the floor again with the slip meter. If the issue is not caused by the treatment, a $100 transportation and testing fee applies; if the treatment is underperforming, that fee is waived and the spot treatment is done free.
No. A coating is a gritty film applied on top of the tile, which can peel, wear thin or yellow over time. Anti Slip Guards' anti-slip treatment creates microscopic texture inside the tile surface itself, so there is nothing on top to peel or wear away.
Yes, for vinyl, timber or painted concrete, where anti-slip treatment cannot be used since it only works on tile and stone. For those surfaces a coating remains a realistic option, though it needs more frequent reapplication in bathrooms that get wet daily.
Barely, when dry. Anti-slip treatment only activates with water: dry, your floor feels almost exactly as before, and the moment it gets wet, the microscopic texture grips your foot instead of letting it glide.
Most of the time, no. At most there can be very minimal lightening, and because the whole area is treated evenly, it is not obvious. The sample area test lets you see and approve the finish before the full floor is treated.
So you feel the grip result before the whole floor is treated. Anti Slip Guards treats a small area, wets it, and lets you feel the difference immediately, so you know what to expect rather than guess before full application.
Up to 3 years for a typical home, though that is typical performance rather than a guaranteed duration. Results depend on foot traffic and cleaning, since dirt build-up fills the microscopic texture and a floor kept clean keeps its grip.

We measure it. An American, NFSI-approved slip meter, the same equipment used by many in the commercial industry and the highest-tier device in Singapore, takes an official reading of your floor before and after treatment, so you see the improvement in numbers on the day.
No treatment can promise that, and Anti Slip Guards will not claim it. Anti-slip treatment significantly increases grip on wet floors, but no product makes slipping impossible. What you get is a measurably safer floor, not a guarantee against every fall.
No. Anti-slip treatment works on mineral surfaces only, meaning tile, stone and concrete. Vinyl and timber floors cannot be treated. Bathrooms, kitchens and balconies are tile or stone in almost every Singapore home, which is exactly where slips happen.
A test and deep clean fee applies, since the floor has already had a full professional deep clean and a sample area treated as part of the process, even if you decide not to continue with the full treatment.
