Slippery When Wet
Baths are slippery. Children stand up suddenly. One slip can mean a serious injury. A properly fitted non-slip mat is simple safety that works.
💡 Pro tip: Clean the bath surface thoroughly before applying suction mats - any soap residue stops them gripping properly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why would a bath mat need fitting?
Cheap mats slide. Good mats need proper positioning and sometimes suction prep to really grip. Getting it right means it actually stays put when wet feet stand on it.
What type of mat works best?
Suction cup mats grip best but need proper positioning. Textured mats add grip but can move. We recommend quality suction mats, properly applied.
Do all baths work with suction mats?
Most modern baths do. Very old or textured bath surfaces can be tricky - we'll check and advise on alternatives if needed.
Is this part of a safety visit?
Usually combined with other childproofing - step stools, cabinet locks, tap guards. Makes sense to do bathroom safety in one go.
