I just had my bathtub resurfaced and they told me not to use a mat with suction cups. Do you think this mat will scratch the surface?

Hi Linda, I don't think it will scratch the surface of your new resurfaced bathtub.

Probably it's wood. This isn't really a mat its deck for an outdoor type shower.

This mat will adhere to a textured surface. The bottom of the mat has one giant piece of paper you peel off and the mat has some type of adhesive on it that sticks to the tub. It works great! The mat was a little bit too long for our tub so we used a box cutter to cut out a semicircle for the drain. Once this mat is down, it's down. You don't remove it for cleaning or anything else until you no longer want to use it. My toddler son likes to walk around in the bathtub despite my efforts but he never falls. Highly recommend it!

I use it in my home shower, which is a normal Tub/ Shower enclosure, and I also use in my sunken bath tub in my bathroom (home built in 2006), and I don't see any scratches on them. I would think you would be fine, but I don't want to tell you yes for sure an get your garden tub scratched. The bristles are rough, which really makes cleaning easy. If it was me I would use it :) Hope this helps

It does stay in place. :-) I also don't leave mine in the tub, we remove it after bathing which leaves the suction cups time to dry out and prevents mildew, etc.

Might depend on the floor surface, but the mat has small suction cups (each a bit over a half inch across) all over the back, one every inch or inch and a half. Stays in place, but we hang it up to dry out after use.

I bought it for my husband he uses it to wash our cars. So I know it is soft enought to not scratch the finish on the cars. It is soft I really do not know how it would work on bath tubs. Hopes this helps

Yes this tub grab bar is padded inside where it touches the tub, making it scratch-free. It's wonderful, I have had mine now for over a year and I don't know what I did without it before.

I did not find it to scratch mine. I have dark HW flooring but my husband & I are not seeing anything & he's the 1 doing it latetly b/c i've had a cast on leg..

My tub is smooth but it seems to me that the pad needs to have a lot of surface to grab onto. If you put it on a textured surface, I think it might not stay down as long. I have discovered that you need to keep it clean: soap scum makes it less non-skid.

Yes it would scratch it. The pad is abrasive. The Casabella Flex Neck is good for cleaning the bath tub and the old fashioned porcelain wall tiles. Search for the sponge mops.

I don't remove it between baths. The suction cups are intact. However, some dirt builds up under the mat. I rinse it and use a tub cleaner on the tub.

I have had absolutely no problem with the suction cup. It has been my experience with ANY suction cup that both surfaces need to be clean (suction cup and the surface where it is mounted), meaning free of oils, soap residue, etc. I would advise thoroughly cleaning the surface where you mount it and washing the suction cup with a good dish detergent -- then let everything dry completely.

That would be difficult for me to answer because all of my floors are tile some rooms have carpet over the tile. I really like my vacuum and it is great for me because I can not use one that is heavy at all. I do not see any thing on the vacuum that would scratch.

It will stay in place as long as you put it in when the tub is DRY. The cups are small and with the mat being as big as it is, it doesn't stay put if there is any water under them.

Sorry I wasn't clearer. There is a thin metallic sheet that is backed with plastic. I can't tell if it is actually metal or just a metallic-looking plastic. It is VERY lightweight, so if suction cups work at your gym, you should be good. They don't work on our tile, so my husband put it up more permanently.

hi b.m., i keep mine in the front of the tub and slide it on a linoleum floor every day. i''ve had the step for two months and so far, no scratches. i may not trust sliding it on nice hardwood floors. i would lift it but it's qute heavy and does not fold easily.

I only use it for the toilets. I think it would scratch plastic/fiberglass.
