Keep your Bathtub Safe and Clean with Non-Slip Solutions

Slippery bathtubs can be a major hazard, and keeping the bottom of your tub clean can be a challenge. Whether your bathtub is newly refinished or not, ensuring a safe, non-slip surface is crucial for preventing accidents and maintaining hygiene.

The Problem with Factory Non-Slip Surfaces

Many new bathtubs come with built-in non-slip surfaces, thanks to the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) mandate since 1990. However, these surfaces often become stained and difficult to clean. Most manufacturers etch the tub bottoms to create the non-slip feature, which can trap oils and dirt from your feet, leading to unsightly staining.

A Better Solution: Adding a Non-Staining Non-Slip Coating

One effective solution is to apply a non-staining, non-slip coating to your bathtub's bottom. Many refinishing contractors offer gritty solutions, but these can be uncomfortable and even painful for bathing, especially for young children.

At Bathtub & Tile Restorations, we offer superior options developed at TubPotion Labs. Our TubPotion #7 uses perfectly round micro-spheres that provide the necessary traction without discomfort. Unlike angular grit, our micro-spheres create a comfortable, safe surface.

How We Apply the Non-Slip Coating

We can integrate our micro-spheres into our TubPotion bonding primer and apply it to your tub's bottom after proper preparation. Once the primer flashes, we coat it with our TubPotion polyester polyurethane protective topcoat, color-matched to your tub. This can be done as a standalone treatment or as part of a complete bathtub refinishing process. Our coatings allow for the use of a bathmat, provided it's removed after each use and allowed to dry.

Premium Option: TubPotion #9

For a more premium finish, we offer TubPotion #9, which creates a factory-looking pebbly surface similar to those found on fiberglass shower pans. This option has been in development for two years and offers exceptional comfort and safety. It can be applied as a standalone treatment or included in our refinishing process.

TubPotion #9 ensures a secure, non-slip surface that feels great whether you’re standing in the shower or soaking in the bath, providing peace of mind and preventing slips and falls.
