Can the mat be applied to a tub that does not have a flat bottom? My tub bottom curves gently to a side-center drain.

yes it is a mat that sticks to the bottom of tub so not flat should not matter i love this mat

It worked perfect in my tub that had slight curves on sides and sloped towards the drain in front. It is a somewhat flexible material, it comes rolled up, and needs unrolled before installing. I think mines been on at least 2 years if not longer and it's still perfect.

Yes, I think so. The material is a stiff but thin, hard plastic so lay it in the tub before removing the backing to judge whether it can conform to the curves. If in doubt I wouldn't hesitate to cut out a small half moon circle or wedge for the drain, or cut the mat into sections, to insure the mat adheres and does not bubble or curl. Small cutouts or gaps would not significantly impair the non-skid properties, as long as some part of your foot is on the mat. It's a terrific, durable product that's easy to clean & provides superb footing.

Yes, the material is flexible to conform to a curved bathtub bottom to the extent that it could curve up the sides. However you would need to cut it some if you are talking about a curved corner.

Yes it can. You can trim the mat to your floor with scissors or a box cutter.

Sorry, Not sure, always take showers. This mat is so sticky I doubt it would matter. When I turn on shower the water hits the outer edge of mat & it's never moved an inch!

I've never tried it, but in my use, it does seem to need to slope toward the drain. It is a neat product though.

I haven't tried that, but I know it fits very securely to the tub if you have tightened it correctly. I guess the answer would depend on how much weight was being pulled.

The bottom of the tub is fairly flat. It is lightly textured to help prevent slips. I find it easy to stand in.

Drain is centered. There is a flexible hose coming with the tub so the drain location in the slab/floor can be independent from the drain in the tub to some degree. My installer considered it a bad alternative and prone to leaking. Best locate the drain in the slab right under the bathtub center.

Before filling my tub, I phoned the manufacturer Watkins Manufacturing 760-598-6464. I told them the area desired for the tub was not flat but had a patio slope which was less than an inch per 75 inches. They informed me that my hot tub was ok as long as the water level was above the intake filter. Call the Mfg. if in doubt and give them your drop per 75 inches from one side of the tub to the other and they will let you know if your tub is structurally sound enough to handle the slope. They said mine was fine without being completely level.

I don't think it would work. It would depend on how wide the 'curl' at the top of the tub is. Sorry I can't be more help.

If the sides of the bath are flat on the top, it will work. In other words, not fluted or curvy on the top, or higher on the ends. It needs to make contact with the edges of the bath all the way around.

The grid is flat to the extent that it can be flat. Note the comment about the center ring from Word Smith. If it is slightly too long or too wide for your sink it may ride up a bit on the sides and not lay flat on the sink bottom. But the grid itself is flat. Measure carefully.

I can't really give an accurate response to your question, because my tub floor is fiberglass. This mat adheres to a pebbly-like surface quite well, but does need to be removed occasionally to completely dry out, so mold will not form on the bottom. I hope this helps.

I just leveled out a spot in the backyard put some sand down to level and placed the tub on it, it worked fine. Although the tub is heavy, the weight Is spread out over several square feet so no problem.

Haven't used it for tub, but now that you've asked, I don't see why not. The head pivots and rotates, I think it's a great idea.

Hi ! to be honest, I dont think so. If you are talking about around your tub, it would not adhere very well because of the grout. But this is a great product! I installed it over my bar and over my bathroom sink, and so far, so good!

Unless you have an extremely large tub that does not taper down then "no" it will not fit completely inside the tub. I put the front end with the drain inside my tub and then place a brick under each back leg to level it out and allow for drainage, etc. It only takes a minute to set up and even though I have hot/cold access on an outside faucet I still use it inside even in sunny CA. I disassemble mine each time and put back in the box since I have no place to store with it assembled. It saves my back and the shampoo bottle holder is great. Oh, by using it as I described there is very little water if any on the floor so no need to worry about that.

No the mat is flexible. If there is a lot of mess on it, I normally turn up the sides and carry it like a taco to the trash and then rinse or wipe it off outside or in the bathtub.

This will work only where a flat surface meets a flat surface, like a floor and a wall. It must be flat to be safe. Tubs are usually rounded on the sides and that won't work. I have used it to enter a van and to step onto the deck that has a high step.
