I was wanting to add these to a tub surround and was wondering if anyone tried this and if it held up to the water and steam?

I put mine in the bathroom. Not on a tub surround, but it's a fairly small bathroom (~10x5). On paint, they don't peel off. I noticed the steam seems to make a little residue drip down under the decal after a few weeks, but they've stayed stuck pretty well.

I suppose you could do this and it would look beautiful. Make sure it is high enough to avoid hitting the head when you stand up in the tub. I would be concerned about the moisture coming from the water in the tub causing the the wire strings to rust and the fixture itself. I would check to make sure they are stainless steel wires. Make sure it is installed properly. You don't want 30 lbs of an electrical fixture to crash on you while in the water. Good luck.

It depends on if it is a rough surface or smooth surface. I have marble tiles in our other bathroom, and although I haven't tested it, I expect that they would stick. Now if they are "rough-hewn", I can't promise they won't stick. They will definitely stick to the side of the tub as well, so the kids can still use the blocks, they just may not be able to stick them to the walls.

I've done this before with Rust-Oleum (twice) and used Homax this time and no peeling so far. It's been 2 years and it looks good. A suggestion...use the small fine sandpaper blocks instead of steel wool. I did this on my tub, not on the tiles.

Mine are on stuck on fairly permanently, but that's because I cleaned the surface area really well and made sure it was absolutely dry before application. Not sure how they're going to come off, but I imagine I'll have to take a razor blade or putty knife to scrape them off when the time comes. Plus, they've stayed fairly clean since I've had them. Barely noticed in tub.

Our tub is built into the deck and it works well. However, if your hot tub is built into a cement surround, I'd imagine it wouldn't work as well. However, you may contact the cover company and inquire as to what they recommend. Good luck! Happy hot tubbing!

I have applied them to an old enamel coated tub right after a good scrub down. I only applied half of the package thinking that I'd use the other half if and when any would unstick. That application has been on the tub for over a year now without any signs of lifting. Also, they're easy to clean and they're not too abrasive. When taking a bath you hardly even notice them. Hope this helps.

You may need more tape if you remove and try again. Once ours were up we never touch them because they are mainly for privacy and putting them up and down doubt the tape will hold at all. One of ours fell down just from steam in shower and we put new tape up to try again, seems to be holding.

I tested this pole in the tub the first time I bought it. The only thing I would suggest is to run a bead of super glue around he top and handle to make sure it is fully water proof. It does float 100% just not the most visible if you do drop it. Used during many water skiing and tube runs and worked great! Maybe tie a orange ribbon or buoy on it to make it visible

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.

Yeah... they are quite stubborn. We installed In a bathroom tub, and i couldn't tell you how to do it. Goo-be-gone maybe? They are advertised as marine grade, and they mean it! I tried googling and didn't really come up with a viable answer. I would not put these on a tile floor for this reason.

We installed and used them as soon as we received them. We preferred having them installed closer to the inside edge of tub and shower as to keep water inside tub and not pooling on the edge. We have many sets installed and they are very reliable and sturdy.

If you are adhering them to a very clean, flat surface, they should hold up okay. My concern, as you said, is if they get wet. I wouldn't put a lot of faith in them if they DO get wet as they're not really made for that. You could always use epoxy or a small screw to adhere them to the surface and that would likely rectify the issue of them potentially getting wet. Check your local home depot or lowe's, they probably have something better for your application than this.

My tub was actually up against the wall. You may have to put some type of spacer in between the mounts and the wall.

I think as long as it's not textured it will hold up. I put one up on my textured wall and it wouldn't hold up at all. I moved it to my tiled wall and it has held up for several months now with large bottles of conditioner, shampoo, bar of soap and towel.

I used it on both green bathtub and shower enclosures. 1 year later they are still holding up!

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.
