Professional non-slip bath mat fitting - ensuring your mat is properly positioned and securely adhered. Often done alongside other bathroom safety work. Prevents slips that cause serious injuries.
Slippery Baths Are Dangerous
A wet bath surface is lethal for children and elderly alike. Standing, playing, getting in and out - slips happen fast. A properly fitted non-slip mat prevents falls before they happen.
💡 Pro tip: Suction mats work best on smooth, non-textured bath surfaces. Textured baths may need stick-on treads instead.

🔧 DIY Tips
Fitting yourself? Here's what matters:
🔧 What you'll need
- Non-slip bath mat (suction or adhesive)
- Cleaning supplies
- Dry cloth
📐 Proper fitting
- Clean bath thoroughly (soap residue prevents suction)
- Dry the surface completely
- Position mat in standing area
- Press each suction cup firmly
- Test mat doesn't slide
- Re-press any cups that lift
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Fitting on dirty surface
- Not pressing suctions properly
- Mat too small for bath
- Leaving mat down permanently (mould!)
💡 Pro trick: Run a little water under the mat before pressing down suctions - the water helps create a better seal. Then dry around the edges.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🛁 Maintenance matters - lift the mat after each bath and stand it up to dry. Mats left permanently in place grow mould underneath and lose their grip.
Mat types:
- Suction cup mats
- Adhesive treads
- Full-length mats
- Textured mats
Bathroom safety combo:
- Non-slip mat
- Grab rails
- Bath spout cover
- Temperature controls
Frequently Asked Questions
Can't I just buy a bath mat and put it in myself?
You can - but if you're having other childproofing done, we can fit it properly at the same time. A mat that moves or curls at the edges is worse than no mat at all.
What about stick-on bath treads?
Individual treads work well on smooth baths. We can fit these too - they need cleaning and proper placement to stick permanently.
Will it damage my bath?
No - suction cup mats don't damage anything. Stick-on treads can leave residue if removed later, but it's cleanable.
How do I clean under the mat?
Suction mats should be lifted and dried after each use to prevent mould. We'll explain proper maintenance when fitting.
