I looked at the non-slip paint, but it is about £28 for enough to

Non slip paints are really meant for indoor use, and they aren't very
good when used outdoors,

I suspect that International Paints would disagree with you. They make
non-slip deck paints for ships working in Arctic conditions.

But decks of ships in the Arctic tend not to accumulate algae growing on
retained organic and other material - which is what can happen in
ordinary gardens.

You've never seen a canal boat deck, then. They use the same
International Paints anti-slip products. They're expensive, but good.
They need hosing off fairly regularly, but that's all, and I'd expect to
do the same to manhole covers in a path.
