To fix a floor that failed a slip test, work out why it failed, then deep clean, apply an anti-slip treatment, add a slip-resistant coating, or replace the surface, and retest after the works.
To fix a floor that failed a slip test, work out why it failed, then deep clean, apply an anti-slip treatment, add a slip-resistant coating, or replace the surface, and retest after the works.
A deep clean suits contamination or residue. An anti-slip treatment such as a chemical etch or surface treatment suits tile and stone that can stay. A slip-resistant coating suits a floor that needs a new wearing face. Replacement is the last resort.
A failed slip test fix starts with why the floor failed, then a deep clean, an anti-slip treatment, a slip-resistant coating, or replacement, followed by a retest as a separate measurement.
We read the existing slip test report, look at the floor, trial the options on that floor, and recommend whichever solution works best on it. We do not treat one product or brand as the only answer. Our works report is not a compliance certificate.
A wet-pendulum result below the P-rating recommended for that location — kitchen, bathroom, entry, pool surround, hospital corridor, school wet area — is a facilities job. Someone has to choose a remedy that fits the covering and the target in HB 198 and the NCC, then do the work. We work across Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.
Send the AS 4663 or wet-pendulum PDF you already have to a rectification contractor. The table of locations and P-ratings is the job. Photos help; they do not replace the result.
Ask for a written opinion on the floor: deep clean, apply an anti-slip treatment, add a slip-resistant coating, or replace the covering. We look at the floor and trial the options before we recommend one.
Price follows the opinion. The quote covers the recommended intervention, preparation and access — not a coating chosen before anyone has read the report.
Once you instruct the contractor, the works happen on your site. We work across Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. The job is that covering, not a head-office story.
When the surface is ready to be measured again, book a retest with SlipAudit. That visit is a separate step. The works report describes what was done; it is not a compliance certificate and it is not a substitute for a new pendulum reading.
We read the existing slip test report, look at the floor, trial the options on that floor, and recommend whichever solution works best on it. Then we quote the works, carry them out across Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, and arrange a retest as a separate step. Premrest is the contractor. We do not issue a compliance certificate.
The same sequence is written out under how failed slip-test rectification works. The four paths — clean, treat, grind, replace — sit on treatments. If the fail landed just before practical completion, see slip test before handover. If you are still pricing the test into a package, see slip testing for tenders.

After a failed slip test, send the existing AS 4663 or wet-pendulum report to a rectification contractor for an opinion — deep clean, anti-slip treatment, slip-resistant coating or replace — then get a quote, do the works, and arrange a retest as a separate measurement. The works report is not a compliance certificate.
The next step is a contractor opinion on the floor, not another slogan about the rating. Send the PDF. A contractor reads the locations and P-ratings you already have, then writes what they would do with that covering.
No. Replace the floor after a failed slip test only when the existing covering cannot be brought to the required rating without destroying it. If cleaning, anti-slip treatment or a grind will do, that is the opinion to write.
No. The works report describes what we did; a retest is a separate measurement. The document left after grinding, treating or replacing a floor is not a substitute for a new pendulum reading.
No. We recommend a path and carry out the works. A new measurement is arranged afterwards. Until that retest exists, nobody here will promise a pass or a particular P-rating.
