Non-Slip Bathtub Bottom Coating
Add a textured grip surface to your tub bottom during refinishing. Improves safety for families with children, seniors, or anyone concerned about slipping in the tub.
Why Add Non-Slip Coating?
Bathroom falls are one of the most common household injuries, and wet bathtub surfaces are a leading cause. While bath mats help, they can harbor mold and bacteria, slip around, and look unattractive. A professional non-slip coating provides permanent, built-in safety.
When you refinish your bathtub with us, adding non-slip coating to the tub bottom is simple - we mix a textured additive into the final coat. It becomes a permanent part of the surface, won't peel off, and lasts as long as the refinishing itself (10-15+ years).
Affordable safety: Non-slip additive is only $50-75 extra when added during refinishing. Much cheaper than sticky bath mats that need replacement every year.
How Non-Slip Coating Works
Textured Additive
We use a professional-grade polymer additive with microscopic particles that create texture without being abrasive. Think of it like very fine sand mixed into the coating - you can feel the grip, but it's not rough or uncomfortable.
Applied to Tub Bottom Only
The non-slip additive is mixed into the final coat and applied only to the floor of the tub - where you actually stand. The sides, rim, and surrounding areas get the standard smooth finish. This keeps the tub looking great while adding safety where it matters.
Permanent Integration
Because the additive is mixed into the epoxy coating itself, it becomes a permanent part of the surface. Unlike stick-on strips or suction-cup mats, it can't peel, shift, or come loose. It cures with the coating and lasts the full 10-15+ year lifespan.
Texture Options
Light Texture (Most Popular)
A subtle grip that provides traction without being noticeable underfoot. Feels smooth during normal use but prevents slipping when wet. Perfect for most households. Barely visible - the tub still looks uniformly finished.
Medium Texture
More noticeable grip for households with higher safety needs - seniors, mobility challenges, or high-traffic family bathrooms. You can feel the texture when standing, but it's not uncomfortable. Slightly visible as a matte area on the tub floor.
Heavy Texture
Maximum grip for commercial applications or ADA compliance needs. Clearly visible texture with significant traction. Best for shower-only use as the texture may be less comfortable for soaking baths. Often specified by property managers and care facilities.
Safety Benefits
Why non-slip coating is worth the investment
Prevent Falls
Bathroom falls cause 230,000+ ER visits yearly. Grip texture dramatically reduces risk. refinishing cost
Always Clean
Unlike bath mats, built-in texture doesn't trap mold, mildew, or bacteria.
Long-Lasting
Permanent integration means no peeling, shifting, or replacement needed.
