Bal white star is probably the best to use in a bathroom, as to wether the Topps grip is just as good I wouldn't know.

Gaz@Topps will be on here later, he works at Topps, funnly enough" so he will be able to give a more informed answer.

I was recently provided by a builder with BAL Grip. Can't say that it stood out as fantastic or anything, neither was it bad. It hasn't replaced White Star, he was telling porkies. Buy the best you can afford, you won't go wrong.
