do these work well on textured tub?

They are great. They've been in my tub for several years and are still in good shape. I would buy them again.

Out tubs are fiberglass and have a slight texture, something like crepe fabric. After 18 months the decals are still holding.

I have a Jacuzzi fiberglass tub, and it works beautifully. It will work on any tub that isn't round.

I think these decals work best on a smooth surface. I would think if there was any raised texture to the walls, they won't lay flat and would be hard to adhere.

I don't know but they have stuck to my ceramic tile in the shower for the several months I've had them. and my tile is not smooth. Originally I used those sunction-type hooks and they were always falling because of the air pockets due to uneven surface. The sunction cups are what I had previously used when I did have fiberglass -- they stayed up because of the smooth fiberglass surface. If the Command strips stay up on non-smooth surfaces (where air could seep in), I would think they would work on smooth surfaces also. I have a squeegee hanging from one and wet washcloth on another.

Unfortunately, the included 3M Command Strips don't tend to work well on textured surfaces. They're designed to work on smooth, flat surfaces. If you'd like to know more feel free to email us at support@dockem.com.Thanks,ColbyDockem Support

I did my entire fiberglass tub with it. It's great. I cleaned the tub thoroughly until it sparkled, rinsed it and then washed again with rubbing alcohol.It will also work on steel tubs. Just make sure tub is clean before applying. Mine has been on for months now and there is no peeling!

Slightly textured - probably so. I've had them in my daughter's bathroom for over a year I think and they look as good as the day I applied them. Her bathroom walls are not perfectly smooth but not exactly textured either. Good luck!

Nope. They've got a coating on them that is textured, but not rough. I put three packs on the tub about a year ago. My daughters, ages 4 and 1, bathe with them daily.

Yes, Mark, in our experience over many months they are strong enough. We have a larger than standard whirlpool tub, but the flaps extend far enough onto the tub edges to be supported. If your lift for some reason doesn't stay in place at the bottom, it could sway to the inboard side and lose the edge support. [ hasn't happened to us]. If your lift is sitting on a moderately molded-in non-skid surface, the suction cups will conform to the surface with a little time and warm water. If your tub has a "sandy" or very aggresive non-skid texture you have a problem. In that case, if the lift will remain in the tub without the need to remove it often,I would try a small dollop of Plumber's Goop on the outside edges of the suction cups. [Dry ,clean surfaces of course]. If you do this you will probably have to remove the lift from the suction-cup feet and carefully peel up the suction-cups with the help of something like a kitchen knife. I.e., the lift is strong enough...the attachment to tub bottom is key.

I believe all my tubs I've used this on are porcelan. The answer to your question I believe is whether other items that have suction cups stick to it. That's a sure fire way to see if it would.

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.

Our walls are textured and they have worked fine. It was a little slow going, putting them on, but definitely worth the patience! Just take a little more time to make sure the letters are tight against all of the texture. Hope that helped. :-)

I use these in my classroom with laminated posters. I'm not sure about bubbling texture since we don't have any. But the walls at my school are bumps and the strips work well.

I have never had a problem with them. I have had them for many months and they have not faded, discolored, or peeled. They are smooth enough for toddler's at tub time or for adults to brighten up the tub without slipping. I decided to mix two styles after applying them and they peel off without leaving any residue or mark. I will never go back to a tub mat again! Tub Tattoos dont mildew, smell, or prevent tub draining. My tub is always clean and fresh.

After using them for a few months, they were still completely invisible on my tub floor. I did scrub around the drain but never the decals, and I can now just barely see where they are. One reason is that I use Miracle II liquid soap. If you use bar soap, I think they will accumulate soap scum, but they are so tightly adhered to the porcelain and are such a smooth abrasive, I would scrub lightly if necessary. Tip: I get the Miracle II from Amazon as well, use it for bathing babies, shampooing, cleaning the house; it is a miracle.

I think they're better, but your milage may vary. The surface of them is pebbled and sort of rough, so if your foot is right on one, you're not likely to slip, versus bathmats that often do not stick properly to the tub, and slip right out from under you. (Also, bath mats are more likely to get moldy than these will.) Like other people have mentioned, you're going to want to get at least three packs for a full size tub, because there's only five to a pack, and the lack of coverage between can be /really/ slippery, if you step there without expecting it.

I don't know, I've only used them in the tub but I would think if they help to grip on a wet surface, they would certainly work on a dry surface.
