Recomend me a bath mat(Yes seriously)
Now, i HATE showers over baths, but sadly its all we have in our rented house. I have a tendancy to fall out of them (Stop laughing at the back) This as you can imagine can be effin dangerous. I slipped yesterday and hurt my side as i hit the bath. Now, i bought a bath mat but that slid all over the place. So what can i do to stop the bath being so slippery bearing in mind its not our bath.

Ask the landlord to do something about it.

Re: Recomend me a bath mat(Yes seriously)
An unusually serious reply from moi...
Put plug in bath and then run about 1/2" of water and add to that a good amount of bleach. The bleach will raise any bacteria which are often a cause for the bath to be very slippy. Remove plug and rinse bleach away thoroughly and then give underside of mat a good clean to ensure the pads get a good purchase when replaced in the bath. HTH. |

Re: Recomend me a bath mat(Yes seriously)
Viney mate, i sell baths that have anti slip treatments fitted to their base but A) they aint cheap & B) It involves taking out your current bath and replacing it.
Those mats are usualy OK when they grip the base but it sounds like your one aint for some reason. But i agree with Ed, your landlord has the responsibility for your safety in the property to a great degree. No he's not supposed to some round and make sure you aint sticking a fork into the plug sockets but he has to try and remedy this for you in his way.
