Using a bath mat at present, but would like to try something else so that the bath isn't slippery.
The bath is enamelled (cast iron) and about 55 yeras ol, so I'm not worried too much about appearance.
Something to paint on, parhaps, that will withstand the water and soap etc. and doesn't trap water.
Tried searching but not getting anything useful - probably using the wrong term.
Use a bath cleaner that says it is *not* suitable for enamelled surfaces (DAMHIKIJDOK) this will make the enamel non-slip, which is good if you use a shower over the bath, not so good if you want to sit in the bath as it tends to sandpaper your arse!

Stick on non slip thingies, often in the shape of flowers or feet (how twee), eg
try google for:
bath non slip stick on
That returns loads, including ones with temperature indicators (cute)
Show me one that doesn't succumb to the dreaded mildew and I'll use it . I was going to suggest the stick-on feet but someone beat me to it .
What you want is a harness bolted to the ceiling ...lol
Turn it over and place it over the edge of the bath after use so that it dries - no mould! Mould / mildew needs damp Also - rinse it with Domestos from time to time.
Just a thought to throw into the pot...
A boat chandler's will sell a paint intended for boat decks. It will be far too rough, so will need some flattening after it is dry, but it will be absolutely water proof.
Now that's an idea - politicians' faces would be good for standing or sitting on (and farting). I don't use it as a bath; shower only.
Cheers, off to have a look. Would never have thought of 'bathtub'.
Deck (boat) paint?
Now that's an idea. There are 2 boatyards near here (canal - 'tis a long way to the sea from sunny Northampton!) so I might have a look there.
Don't mind a bit of rough in the shaower :->
