After two showers mine came unstuck from a smooth shower floor.I recleaned the shower floor and reglued with an underwater marine caulking sealant.YOU CAN GET IT AT HARDWARE STORE FOR AROUND SEVEN DOLLARS. Put a bead about 1 inch in around the edges, then a huge x corner to corner then 4 smaller exes inbetween larger x. let set for 24 hrs. mine have been good since March of 2013 with no problems.I also put a Gator grip in my guest shower using the marine underwater caulking.

It will probably stick - the adhesive is very strong. A flat surface gives you a completely sealed mat - nothing gets under it. The height of your texture will impact the seal you get. So if you are more concerned about creating a non slip surface - it will meet your needs. If you are buying to eliminate the build up that you get with standard bath mats - the height of your texture will determine if you can get an airtight seal. If you do not have an airtight seal - water and soap residue will get under the mat.

This mat will adhere to a textured surface. The bottom of the mat has one giant piece of paper you peel off and the mat has some type of adhesive on it that sticks to the tub. It works great! The mat was a little bit too long for our tub so we used a box cutter to cut out a semicircle for the drain. Once this mat is down, it's down. You don't remove it for cleaning or anything else until you no longer want to use it. My toddler son likes to walk around in the bathtub despite my efforts but he never falls. Highly recommend it!

A smooth surface works best. If the tub surface is very very slightly textured it would work. However, I would worry more about mold building up between the textured surface and the Gator Grip. On a smooth surface there is no space and the Gator Grip fastens directing to the surface leaving no gaps so water can't get through. On a textured surface I would get something else that could be taken up and washed regularly.

Hello. I have a smooth surface tub. However, I think that as long as the tub is clean and dry it should adhere just fine. After securing the mat to the tub, I covered the mat with heavy objects for a couple of days before using.

It will stay in place as long as you put it in when the tub is DRY. The cups are small and with the mat being as big as it is, it doesn't stay put if there is any water under them.

Very easy - and for that matter if you pick it up from the bottom of the wet tub and let it air dry, mildew doesn't form. The mat is not porous which keeps it from getting mildew. It's a great bath mat!!

Well I am not sure about a textured shower floor. I have a textured anti-slip tub floor and it stuck just fine. Hope that helps.

Yes, mat is soft to sit. I would describe it as a piece of styrofoam with a spongy feel to it. I returned the product because i didn't think I could clean the mat. Also, I returned the mat because I just don't think the mat adhesive is strong enough if your cleaning your tub using chemicals

I am not sure what you mean about textured. I have wood, bamboo and TrafficMaster floors. I think it would snag if the floors are not smooth.

The adhesive is pretty strong so it shouldn't have problems sticking to a non-smooth surface. Worst case scenario, you could always purchase a stronger sticky tape type adhesive.

I can.'t answer this because I never really used it or sat in it because it would not stick to my tub's textured surface.

If the non-slip surface is actually part of the original tub (and we're talking ceramic or porceline, not plastic) thoroughly clean and dry the WHOLE tub before application and I can only guess this will hold as well as it's held on mine so far.. about 2 months away from having it on there 1 year.

I'm not positive but I would think it wouldn't be a problem with "slight texture". The adhesive used seems pretty powerful.

No, it's not rough at all. Your tub will just not have that slippery feel to it. It works really good.

i used it on tile and it left a smooth polished look on the surface. nothing sticky about it.

The bottom part slides to fit the side of your tub exactly. We have an octagon shaped hot tub and it even fit on those sides. There is no rubber or soft padding on the tray, but it does not scratch the acrylic shell at all. We love this tray!

Our tub is not rough so I can't comment, but it stays "glued" in place in our tub. I clean it with Soft scrub and a brush

There is a tendency to slide around, depending on the surface texture of the countertop. I have a slightly worn formica countertop with some roughness, and I spread a little tap water on the countertop surface before placing the pastry mat. The surface tension of the water anchors the mat quite well and keeps it in place for the most part.

Yes. My shower floor is textured and this mat sticks great! It has never slipped from day one like the other shower mats do.

No. I believe the surface MUST be smooth. I'd recommend using a vinyl tub mat. You can buy them at Target, and probably any place that has bath stuff. They have suction cups on the bottom, so they'll stick. It won't cost nearly as much as the cute decals, but you will need to wash it from time to time, because of mold.
