a glazed tub that i got about 15 years ago. Great job, but now that I
am in a senior stage, i fear of tripping in the tub as I shower. I
almost did already. I was told by the installer at the time, not to
put any of those decals that prevent slipping, cause it would
eventually reveal the color that the tub was prior. Any suggestions
please?


A non-slip mat would be a quick and inexpensive solution in
the short term. Longer term, you might want to consider
a bigger remodel and a walk-in shower (with seat).

My parents, in their 80's, went with the remodel after
my Mom fell in the tub and broke her wrist (it pretty
much shattered beyond repair). They consider that remodel
the best investment they ever made.
