Shower Door Replacement in Birmingham, MI
Old door leaking, clouded, rusting, or just out of step with the rest of the bathroom? Fortune replaces it with new custom glass, measured to your existing opening, with no tile work required. The in-home measure is free.
Replace the Door, Keep the Tile
Most people do not call us because the door failed all at once. They call because they finally got tired of looking at it. The glass will not come clean anymore. The frame has rust bleeding at the corners. The seal has gone stiff and water gets past it. Or the bathroom got new tile and a new vanity, and the door is still the one that came with the house. Any of those is reason enough. We remove the old enclosure, measure the opening as it actually exists today, and build new glass to fit it. The tile, the pan, and the plumbing all stay exactly where they are.
That is the part homeowners in Birmingham are usually most relieved to hear. A replacement is a glass job, not a renovation. There is no demolition, no dust in the hallway for a week, and no contractor calendar to manage. It is a measure, a build, and an install. We do not patch or service old doors, and we will tell you plainly that nursing a rusted frame or a failed seal along is money better spent on glass that will last. By the time you are searching for a way to fix a door this far gone, replacing it is the fix.
Shower Door Replacement, measured and built for Birmingham.
Fog and Film Gone
That permanent haze is mineral scale that has etched into the surface, and no cleaner is bringing it back. New glass starts clear. Ask about an easy-clean coating while we are measuring, because in Oakland County water it is the difference between wiping the glass and fighting it.
No Tile, No Demo
In almost every replacement, the tile stays. We work to the surfaces you already have, take the old unit out, and set the new one into the same opening. That is why a replacement is a short job rather than a project, and why it does not put your bathroom out of service for days.
Upgrade the Style
A replacement is your chance to change what the shower looks like, not just how it works. A framed unit can come out and a frameless one can go in, if the opening supports it. Hardware finishes can change too. We will lay out what your opening can carry before you decide anything.
Signs Your Door Has Earned a Replacement
Water on the floor after every shower. A frame you cannot get clean because the finish is pitting. Glass that stays cloudy no matter what you spray on it. A door that scrapes, drags, or does not sit square in the opening anymore. Rust at the bottom rail. Caulk that has been redone so many times it has become part of the design. None of those get better on their own, and in a house where the rest of the bathroom looks good, the old door is the thing your eye keeps landing on.
When you call, we come out, look at what is actually there, and measure the opening the way it sits now, not the way it sat when the original door went in. Walls move, tile gets replaced, and the numbers change. Then we build the new enclosure at our own shop in Sterling Heights and our own crew installs it. Same family from the tape measure to the last clip. You get a free quote before any of that starts, and there is no pressure attached to it.

Common questions.
Should I replace my shower door or try to fix it?
It depends on what has failed. When the glass is etched or clouded and will not come clean, or the frame has rust and the seals are worn out, a new custom enclosure usually gives a better and longer lasting result than patching the old one. Call the showroom at (586) 315-8900 or text us a photo of your door, and we will tell you honestly what we think makes sense for your bathroom.
Will replacing the door damage my tile?
Protecting your tile is the whole point of the way we work. We take the old unit out carefully and set the new glass to the surfaces that are already there. Old caulk and fasteners do leave marks behind them, and if we see anything at the measure that concerns us, we will say so up front. In most Birmingham bathrooms, the tile stays and only the glass changes.
Can I go from a framed door to frameless?
Often, yes. It depends on what is behind the tile and whether the opening is square enough to carry heavy glass without a frame to hide the variance. Frameless work uses 3/8 inch tempered glass, which needs solid backing for the hinges. We will look at your opening at the free measure and tell you what it can and cannot support.
Why did my glass get permanently cloudy?
Metro Detroit water is hard, and Birmingham gets the same minerals as the rest of Oakland County. Over years, that scale bonds to the glass and etches it. Once it is etched, it is not coming off with a cleaner. New glass, a squeegee habit, and an easy-clean coating are what keep the next door looking the way this one did on day one.
How does a replacement work, start to finish?
There are two visits. The first is the free in-home measure, which is quick. Then we fabricate your glass at our Sterling Heights shop to those numbers. When it is ready, our crew comes back, removes the old enclosure, and installs the new one, usually in a single appointment. You are not losing the bathroom for a week. Call or text and we will get you on the schedule.
