Hi! This is Kristina from SlipX Solutions. Our suction cup bathtub mats are designed to adhere to smooth surfaces. If your bathtub or shower is textured, tiled, or not completely smooth, than there is a chance some of the cups will not stick to the surface. Please contact SlipX Solutions if you have any questions. Thank you for your question.

Brian, I am trying to make the same bath mat, and was checking this out for the same reason. Did you ever get yours done? Did you end up going with this moss?

Had no problem with our mat. It also came rolled up in a carton and as I recall it was during cold weather. We just unrolled it and as I recall placed the curled area down until it straightened out and then turned it over the way it should be. This may have taken a day or so, but not as long as you have been dealing with it. Might want to try using a hair dryer that you can direct the heat on to the areas that don't want to lay down???? Would be worth a try. Good luck.

We just use regular cleaners like Lysol... But it's not perfectly white. I read that there is a special cleaner called R.O.G. It costs allot more but is said to make the tub like new. I may try that. No matter what we still love tub grip, it IS a great product!

Im sorry I don't know. I bought the medium size mat. I understand you don't have the instructions! Try ringing the company.

With any textured wall of any sort it may need to be scraped down a bit depending on how large the texturing is. You can use a razor scraper to get the larger humps/ chucks off and then roll on a watered down premixed joint compound. Then use the magic trowel to smooth off. Only do small sections at a time. And you will need at least 2 coats if not 3. As each coat dries go in the opposite direction Ie. HoriZontal and vertical. Good luck

Hi, unfortunately does not, I've simply sealed all three sides with silikone, after tiling ,I'll use actylic siliconized grout between tiles and top surface of the tub, BTW - tub looks great :) and don't be surprised that you need to make a "tub bed" under it, is not as simple as placing it on level surface as you somethimes do with whirlpool tubs ...... I've "hung" my Duravit on all three sides on 2x4's and have build front skirt , Kris

I know somebody that removed it from fiberglass - they used a plastic paint scrapper - it took some effort but it did not damage it.May be able to use wd40 or some other adhesive remover to make it easier. I have not tried to remove mine yet and I have a porcelain tub.

It's really a great bath mat but, it's a pain to get off!I took out the mat and sprayed "Goo be gone" (or anything like that) and let it set for a while.Then I sprayed it all off. Then I took a plastic pan scraper to and tough areas. (It really wasn't too bad) Last, I cleaned it with Clorox Clean Up. It came out nice.

This mat has a textured side and a smooth side. The smooth side has a slight bit of tackiness to it, so that side goes down on the surface. I've had no issues with sticking to the textured side.

It's going to depend on the grit of the extant grip. If the tub's got a built-in textured floor, the stickers should be alright; the adhesive layer is thick enough to form around it. If, however, there are other layers of stickers or the like, I'd advise removing them, if possible. On the other hand, if they can't readily be removed, and aren't super-thick, these'd likely adhere over what's already there.

I bought this tub for my country home, very little use, but i noticed the surface is a little slippery. I bought a mat, and a stain remover from amazon, as the tub gets a little yellow color under neath the mat.

I have to agree with TonyD except I put mine closer to the inside of center, guess it's really up to you and the shape of the tub. Silicone caulk works the best but can be bit messy/greasy to clean up, the key I found is to not to try and wash it off but instead get an old towel and wipe the excess off your hands and fingers after you beaded the seams or use latex gloves which are cheap and handy to have around anyways. Other than that it was an easy install and they work like a charm now.

Sorry to say but as long as we use a very dry, flat surface on our tub, making it stick has not been a problem for us. Good luck!

Yes, but it's a chore. Use a straight edge razor ... Carefully loosen two SMALL sections of opposing corners ... Careful not to scratch the tub ... Once you have a small section up ... Loosen as much as possible ... spray at the glue with windex (anything with alcohol) and keep working it ... use a plastic spackle knife and keep at it ...
