Rated 5 from over 70 reviewsIn the hospitality industry, guest safety and comfort are always top priorities. Yet, one small detail often goes overlooked—the slip factor in hotel bathrooms. While bath and shower mats have traditionally served as the go-to solution for preventing slips, they come with their own set of hygiene and safety challenges. Mendabath UK offers a better way: our proprietary slip resist treatment applied directly to the base of the bath or shower tray, it’s a cleaner, safer, and all-around smarter option for hotels and other hospitality settings. Here’s why.
Hygiene Matters: The Cleanliness Conundrum of Bath Mats
Bath mats might look clean, but they can harbour bacteria, mould, and other contaminants, especially in high-turnover environments like hotels. Even with regular cleaning, bath mats rarely reach the hygiene standards that guests expect. Each mat requires careful handling, frequent cleaning, and proper placement, which can be a burden for hotel staff and a concern for guests who notice if these aren’t done perfectly.
With Mendabath UK’s permanent slip resist solution, hotels can leave these concerns behind. Our coating is bonded to the base of the bath or shower tray, creating a durable, slip-resistant finish that doesn’t require constant replacement and comes with a 12 month adhesion guarantee. Plus, with thousands of baths and shower trays treated across the sector in the UK hotel rooms, we’ve seen firsthand how this treatment ensures a level of cleanliness and peace of mind that traditional bath mats simply can’t provide.
Consistent Safety: The R12 Slip-Rating Advantage
Not all slip-resistant solutions are created equal. Bath mats require guests to remember to put them down, position them correctly, and use them effectively. That’s a lot of steps—and it only takes one oversight for an accident to happen. With Mendabath UK’s slip resist coating, hotels benefit from a permanent solution that doesn’t rely on guest involvement.
Our proprietary product has been rigorously slip-tested and earned an R12 rating, meaning it’s designed to prevent slips even under wet conditions. By choosing our treatment, hotels are providing a level of safety that can be relied upon day after day, in room after room. For hotels, that peace of mind—and the reassurance of an R12 slip rating—means one less thing to worry about when it comes to guest safety.
Convenience for Guests and Staff
Let’s face it—bath mats are one more thing for guests to think about and one more task for housekeeping to manage. For staff, each mat needs to be cleaned regularly, and replaced often, which adds to their workload.
Mendabath UK’s slip resist treatment simplifies everything. No more forgotten mats. Housekeeping can focus on other tasks, knowing that guest safety is secured without the need for constant upkeep. Guests appreciate the effortless convenience of a slip-resistant bath they can trust, without needing to handle or manoeuvre a bath mat themselves.
Aligning with UK Health and Safety Legislation
Guest safety isn’t just good hospitality; it’s the law. In the UK, the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 requires that employers (including hotels and other hospitality establishments) ensure the safety of anyone on their premises. This includes taking all reasonable steps to prevent potential hazards, such as slips and falls. By investing in a permanent slip resist solution, hotels are actively aligning themselves with these standards.
A bath or shower that has been treated with Mendabath UK’s R12-rated slip resist coating represents a proactive approach to safety compliance, helping reduce the risk of accidents and potentially lowering liability concerns. While bath mats can help, they’re often viewed as a temporary fix—not a comprehensive solution to a potential hazard. A permanently slip-resistant bath and shower tray from Mendabath UK sends a message that the hotel is committed to creating a safe environment for every guest.
Long-Term Cost Efficiency
Replacing bath and shower mats regularly, keeping up with laundering, and monitoring their placement all require time, money, and resources. Over time, these costs add up, and they don’t necessarily reduce the hotel’s liability for slip-and-fall incidents. An slip resist treatment, though an investment upfront, offers long-term savings by removing the need for frequent replacements, and lessening the risk of slip-related accidents and insurance claims.
With Mendabath UK’s thousands of applications across hotels, we’ve seen the positive impact on budgets and peace of mind for our clients. In fact, cutting down on accident rates can positively impact a hotel’s insurance premiums, and reducing the number of claim payouts has a direct financial benefit. Let alone the reputational damage of such accidents in a social media driven world. Plus, by eliminating unsightly bath mats from the daily routine, hotels can streamline housekeeping tasks, leading to better efficiency.

When it comes to guest safety, hygiene, and convenience, bath mats just don’t hold up.
