And leave to dry in the heat :thumb: it will smudge, causing water effect

Do you specifically need it to be a vinyl/lino, Sara? I can point you in the direction of very high gloss non slip floor coverings, but they don't come on a roll. :)

Used to me a rumour of a guy who worked at Standard Life who was called Mr I P Sqwint

Presume his bathroom suffered from the same :D

But how about a floor "treatment", ie something you apply directly *to* the floor, is that ok or do you specifically need it to have floor-covering qualities?

Hi ss, i have black granite tiles with silver quartz bits in in my bathroom, looks the business but quite expensive, but will also last for years. :)

we use a metallic appearance vinyl in new homes - "Nairn Cushionflor Futura"
not quite "wet look", but some of them are fairly high gloss

Baby oil will gives a good wet look :)

bit slippy :p

the glossy look flooring is pretty new. the gloss is non stick and makes the floor look highly polished. i saw some in a bathroom but i can remember who's house it was in:(

Step 1, Chop both your legs off.

Step2, Drop Knickers(if not Commando already)

Step3, Drag yourself afound the floor(like a farmer ploughing the fields)

Bingo, snail trail flooring that has the wet look.
