Superhydrophobicity, the real name of the effect, is a property of nano-scale structures of the surface. Making those structures is expensive, and it’s not something you can do with a paint or coating. Good old Teflon is almost as good, and much cheaper if you ignore the forever plastic problem.

There is a kind of ceramic that has the same result as a lotus effect coating e.g. by Villeroy&Boch [CeramicPlus](https://www.villeroy-boch.asia/en/bathroom-and-wellness/service/care-information/ceramicplus.html)
