Glass Over The Tub You Have
A tub door is glass that lives on the rim of your bathtub, in place of a curtain. Most are bypass panels that slide past each other on a track, so nothing swings out into a tight bathroom. Some are a single hinged screen, a half panel that pivots at the wall and shields the shower end of the tub while leaving the rest open. Both do the same job. They stop the spray, they stop the wet liner from clinging to you, and they make the tub look like a finished part of the room instead of a place a curtain happens to hang.
This matters in Grosse Pointe, where a lot of homes were built around the bathtub and still are. An original tub in a well kept older house is often worth keeping, and plenty of homeowners here have no interest in tearing one out. Good. We work with the tub you have. We do not do demolition, plumbing, or tile work, and we are not going to talk you into a project you did not ask for. We measure the tub and the walls above it, fabricate glass to those numbers, and install it. The tub stays. The curtain goes.
Bathtub & Tub Shower Doors, measured and built for Grosse Pointe.
Bypass Or Screen
Two ways to close a tub. Bypass panels slide on a track and never swing into the room, which suits a narrow bath. A hinged screen is a single panel at the shower end that swings clear and leaves the tub open for bathing a child or scrubbing it out.
Mounted To The Tub
The glass sits on the tub rim, not on the floor, so the fit depends on the tub itself. We measure the deck, the walls above it, and how level the tub actually sits. Older tubs are not always true, and that is something to find before glass is cut, not after.
No More Curtain
A liner holds water, mildew, and a smell that no amount of washing really fixes. Glass wipes clean and stays put. It also opens the room up, because you can see the tile behind it instead of a sheet of vinyl. It is a small change that a bathroom feels immediately.
Keeping The Tub, Losing The Curtain
Grosse Pointe bathrooms often have one tub doing double duty, the place a child gets washed and the place an adult takes a shower. The glass has to respect both. That is why the choice between bypass panels and a hinged screen is a real conversation and not a formality. Panels give you the most coverage and the best protection against spray. A screen gives you the most access, because half the tub stays open and you are not reaching over glass to rinse a child or clean the tub itself.
The other half of the conversation is water. Metro Detroit is hard water country, and a tub enclosure sits right where the spray lands. Bypass panels ride in a bottom track, so that track needs an occasional wipe to stay clear of soap and minerals. A hinged screen has almost nothing along the bottom to collect anything. Neither one is wrong. We will tell you the trade honestly at the measure, talk through easy-clean glass, and let you choose with your eyes open.

Common questions.
Do I have to replace my bathtub?
No. We put glass on the tub you already have. What we do is measure, fabricate, install, and replace shower doors and enclosures. We do not do tub removal, plumbing, or tile work. If your tub is sound and you like it, that is all we need. We measure the rim and the walls above it and build the glass to fit what is there.
Sliding panels or a hinged screen, which is better?
It depends on how the tub is used. Bypass panels slide on a track, cover the whole tub, and never swing into the room, which is the safer bet in a narrow bathroom. A hinged screen covers only the shower end and swings clear, which is easier if you bathe children or scrub the tub often. We will walk you through both at the measure.
Do you come out to Grosse Pointe to measure?
Yes, and the visit is free. We are family owned, based at 42624 Van Dyke Ave in Sterling Heights, and Grosse Pointe is part of our service area. We come to your home, measure the tub and the walls above it, and talk through your options with no pressure and no obligation. Call (586) 315-8900 or text (586) 800-9481 to set it up.
How do I keep hard water off a tub door?
Metro Detroit water is hard, so minerals will show on any glass eventually. The bottom track on bypass panels is where buildup collects first, so give it a wipe whenever you clean the bath. Squeegee the glass after showers and it stays clear far longer. Ask us about easy-clean glass options during the measure. On a tub door used every day, it makes a real difference.
Will glass fit an older tub that is not level?
Often, yes, and that is exactly why we measure in person. Older Grosse Pointe homes settle, and tubs and tile do not always sit dead level. We take the real numbers off your tub and fabricate to them instead of fitting a stock unit and hoping. If something about the tub makes glass a bad idea, we will tell you that instead of selling you a door.
