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!

Seriously though a bath mat is the best option in my opinion

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.

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)

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'.

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. 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 :-
