So about three weeks ago our toilet started leaking. We've been here less than a year, and the house has thrown up plenty of unwelcome surprises. Like pulling a lose thread the leaky toilet turned into a complete bathroom makeover, funded by my very dear parents. So I chose a new bath, a steel bath as I found the old acrylic one went cold very quickly, with an anti slip base for safety (without needing to faff about with mats). Just started actually using the sodding thing and it feels horrible. Ok to stand on, but really uncomfortable to sit or kneel on, and it covers at least two thirds of the bath. I feel totally gutted. My girls (3 and 9 months) love bath time, and I feel like this bath is going to ruin it for them. Looking on Amazon I found one mat which supposedly sticks on textured surfaces , but it's pretty expensive and the reviews are very mixed. There is absolutely no way we can change the bath, and after my parents so kindly paid I feel rotten about the whole thing. Has anyone else had a steel anti slip bath? (It's a Roca). Google keeps giving me anti slip solutions for smooth baths and I can't find anything useful. Help me, mumsnet, you're my only hope!
