5 Signs It's Time for a Glass Shower Door Replacement

August 22, 2023

Glass shower doors are a stunning, modern addition to any bathroom. They instantly transform the appearance of your bathroom, and you don't have to worry about water getting on the floor because of a shower curtain. However, knowing when it's time for a replacement is essential. Keep an eye out for these five signs.



1. Cracks and Chips


Cracks or chips in your glass doors are a surefire sign that it's time for a replacement. Shower doors are not repairable the same way that other products might be. If you need a total
glass shower door replacement, our team at RG Collins Glass Company will replace the piece of broken glass with a new one.



2. Water Leaking Through


Glass shower doors are practical because they have a seal that prevents water from leaking. If you notice that water is leaking out, it's a clear sign of a problem with the doors themselves or the seal. If the glass isn't the problem, we can help you save some cash by only replacing the seal.



3. Squeaking and Sticking


These are common signs that something is wrong with the tracks or hardware. Over time, the metal tracks that doors are on may develop corrosion and need to be replaced. This is also common if there is a problem with the doors themselves. Companies specializing in glass shower door replacement can help you identify the problem and determine a cost-effective solution.



4. Sagging Shower Door


A sagging shower door is a sign of a big problem and a serious safety hazard. Sagging shower doors can fall on someone while in the shower, causing significant injury. If you notice this, it's usually a sign that the door is warped due to age. It may also be a problem with the frame the door sits in. It's essential to have this looked at by a professional before someone gets injured.



5. Bathroom Remodeling


According to ComfyLiving, a bathroom remodel can cost up to $14,000. Get your money's worth with a stunning new shower door! Ensuring that your glass shower doors coordinate well with the rest of the bathroom is essential during a bathroom remodel. Compare the style of your doors with the style of your newly remodeled bathroom to ensure they are cohesive. If not, it's time for a glass shower door replacement.

Glass shower doors are convenient, modern, and easy to clean. They provide more convenience than shower curtains and instantly give your bathroom more aesthetic appeal. However, they are bound to go through wear and tear over the years. Contact RG Collins Glass Company for assistance if your shower doors aren't functioning as they should.
