You Slipped Again? Now What?
Last month, a mom from the Hawthorne neighborhood called me in a panic. Her daughter had slipped getting out of the tub and bruised her hip pretty badly. The non-slip mat they'd been using had shifted during her bath. She told me she scrubbed that mat with bleach every week, but it still smelled like mildew. She was done with temporary fixes.
I get calls like this all the time here in Portland. You buy a bathtub non-slip mat thinking it'll solve your safety problem. Then you're stuck scrubbing mold off the suction cups every few days. Or the mat bunches up and becomes the hazard you were trying to prevent. Portland's damp climate makes this worse. Mats trap water underneath and turn into breeding grounds for mildew faster than anywhere else.
Here's what most people don't know: you can have a permanent non-slip surface applied right to your tub. No more mats to clean or replace. No more worrying about your kids or aging parents slipping. We apply a textured coating that bonds to porcelain, fiberglass, or acrylic tubs. It creates real grip that lasts 10+ years.
The best part? We can do it while refinishing your ugly pink or avocado tub at the same time. Or add it to your existing tub as a standalone service. Either way, you're done dealing with those gross rubber mats for good.
