Shower anti-slip

Most thing grow stuff, unfortunately if they are soft or have ajoin to the underlying surface. Its nature you know. I still think the mats are best, just take them up each time and wash the floor its been stuck on. They normally last about a year or so, but as you say they perish or go funny. Brian

We have a shower over the bath. Since I nearly broke my neck one morning whilst stepping out of the bath we got a bath mat which works fine. Hanging over the clothes line will dry it out.

You can get fine grit to go in paint to make it anti slip. I'm sure I've seen showers with painted non-slip areas.

I've used it on boat decks.

My bath has sand or grit in a layer under the top enamel coat.

I fear that would be unacceptable to the aesthetics committee.

even if the alternative is a shower seat?

You can get polyurethane varnish with the grit already added for this purpose.

I got some in 2009 as a result of having friends to stay. While they were here - about 3 months - the mat was used so that they didn't slip. There was quite a lot of spontaneous growth under the mat. I went to a shop that sold all sorts of stuff for disabled people and got some strips that could be stuck to the bath. V. careful cleaning, rinsing and drying is necessary. Put the strips in offset V pattern with a clear channel down the middle. Been there ever since, all still stuck in place and still non-slip.
