A method for applying a traction coating to a bathing implement; the method involves providing a bathing implement. The bathing implement may be prefabricated and of any dimensions. At least one surface of the bathing implement is cleaned with a cleaning agent. The cleaning involves removing any particulates that may be on the surface of the bathing implement. A stencil is secured to the surface of the bathing implement that had been cleaned of any debris and particulate matter. A base coat of silicon rubber may then be applied to the surface. The base coat applied may not be less than 1 millimeter thickness and may not exceed 4 millimeters of thickness. The base coat of silicon rubber may then be cured from a liquid state to a substantially solid state.
