Slip Resistant Tub & Shower Bottom Coating in Chicago
Add traction without bulky bath mats. Chicago Tub & Tile installs a fine-textured,
slip resistant bottom for bathtubs and shower pans, blended seamlessly during reglazing
for a clean, easy-to-maintain finish.
What Is a Slip Resistant Bottom?
A slip resistant bottom is a professionally applied traction surface installed directly
onto the floor of a bathtub or shower. Instead of relying on removable mats that can shift
or trap grime, this upgrade becomes part of the tub or shower base itself.
The slip resistant material is applied before the tub or shower is reglazed, then coated
over so it blends naturally into the finish. The result is improved footing with a clean,
uniform appearance that is easy to clean.
upgrade designed to last as long as the refinished surface.

Slip Resistant Bottom FAQs
Is a slip resistant bottom easier to clean than a bath mat?
Yes. Because it is part of the tub surface, it can be cleaned during normal bathroom cleaning
without removing anything or dealing with trapped moisture.
Can this be added to a shower pan?
Yes. Slip resistant coatings can be applied to both bathtub floors and shower bases.
When should this be installed?
It is best installed during bathtub or shower refinishing so the traction layer can be
blended under the final coating.
