Bathtub Shower Doors In Bloomfield Hills
Trade the curtain for glass. Fortune measures, builds, and installs tub doors that fit the bathtub you already have, from sliding bypass panels to a hinged tub screen, for homeowners across Bloomfield Hills.
Glass Over The Tub You Already Own
A tub door is the quickest upgrade in most baths. The tub stays, the tile stays, and the vinyl curtain that sticks to your arm goes in the trash. In its place, glass panels ride in a track on the tub deck, or a single screen pivots at one end. Either way, water stays in the tub and the room feels twice as open, because you are looking through the shower instead of at a sheet of plastic. In Bloomfield Hills, this is a favorite move for guest suites, kids baths, and the second bath that never made it into the last remodel.
Tub doors ask a few questions that a standard shower does not. The tub deck is narrow, so the track or the base of a screen has to land on it correctly and seal to it. The tub walls are rarely dead plumb, especially in an older bath. And how far you want the glass to reach changes how the room feels and how you clean it. Fortune answers those questions in your home, with a tape measure and a level, at no charge. Then we cut the glass to your tub, not to a stock size, and our own crew comes back to set it.
Bathtub & Tub Shower Doors, measured and built for Bloomfield Hills.
Panels Or A Screen
Two shapes fit most tubs. Bypass panels slide past each other in a track, so nothing swings into the room. A hinged tub screen is a single panel at the faucet end, leaving the rest of the tub open for bathing kids or cleaning. We will show you both.
No More Curtain
A curtain has to be replaced, it grows mildew at the hem, and it clings to you mid-shower. Glass wipes down and stays put. In a Bloomfield Hills guest bath, it also tells visitors the room was thought about rather than patched together. It is a small change that reads as a big one.
Cut To Your Tub
Tub sizes vary, walls lean, and the deck is not always level. We measure yours in person, then fabricate the glass and the hardware to those readings in-house. That is why the panels land square on the deck and the seals sit where they should, instead of leaving a gap for water to find.
Choosing Between Panels And A Screen
Bypass panels are the safe answer for a tub set against three walls. They enclose the whole opening, nothing swings out into a tight bath, and the track carries the water back where it belongs. The trade is the track itself, which needs a wipe now and then, and the fact that half the tub is always behind glass. For a bath that gets used every day, it is usually the easiest option to live with, and it is the closest thing to a set-and-forget tub door.
A hinged tub screen goes the other way. One panel, fixed or pivoting at the faucet end, blocks the spray while the rest of the tub stays open. There is no bottom track to clean, and the bath keeps an open, uncluttered look, which suits a guest bath where the tub is part of the design. It does leave part of the opening uncovered, so it works best when the showerhead is aimed away from the room. We will stand in the bath with you and tell you which one your tub is asking for.

Common questions.
Can you put glass doors on my existing tub?
Yes. That is the whole idea. We work with the bathtub and tile you already have, measure the deck and the walls, and build glass to fit them. There is no tile work and no plumbing involved, which is why a tub door is one of the fastest changes you can make to a bath. The measure at your home is free.
Sliding panels or a hinged screen for a tub?
It depends on the tub and the room. Bypass panels close the whole opening and never swing into a tight bath. A hinged screen leaves the tub mostly open, which helps when you are bathing children or cleaning. We will look at your layout, your showerhead, and how the bath is used, then give you a straight recommendation with no pressure attached.
Do you come out to Bloomfield Hills for a tub door?
We do. Fortune runs out of a showroom at 42624 Van Dyke Ave in Sterling Heights and serves Bloomfield Hills and the rest of Oakland County. The same family that measures your tub fabricates the glass and installs it, with no glass sent to a subcontractor. Call (586) 315-8900, text (586) 800-9481, or email [email protected]. Weekday and Saturday visits are available.
Will hard water ruin tub glass?
Oakland County water is hard, so minerals show up on tub glass the way they show up on faucets. Left alone long enough, they can cloud the surface. Easy-clean glass helps the panel shed water so spots wipe off with less work, and a squeegee kept on a hook does most of the rest. Ask about it at the measure and we will explain what it does.
Is tempered glass safe over a bathtub?
Yes. Tub enclosures use tempered safety glass, which is heat treated so that if it is ever struck hard enough to break, it crumbles into small blunt pieces rather than long shards. That is the standard for glass in a wet room, and it is what we install. Our frameless work uses 3/8 inch tempered glass as standard, and we will bring samples so you can feel the difference.
