started to protrude.


The root cause of the problem is water getting _out_ of the bath and
onto the floor in the first place. You need to fit a bigger shower
screen and/or modify your showering behaviour. A wet floor is a recipe
for disaster when stepping out of the bath. At the very least, put a
bathmat down on the floor when showering to catch any splashes and give
you a non-slip surface.
