Shower Door Replacement in Grosse Pointe, MI
Leaking, foggy, rusted, or just dated. We pull the old door and fit new custom glass to the opening you already have, and in most cases the tile stays exactly as it is. Free in-home measure.
When The Old Door Is Done
Shower doors do not last forever. The seals give up and water finds the floor. The glass goes cloudy from years of hard water and no amount of scrubbing brings it back. The frame pits and rusts along the bottom where water always sat. Or nothing is broken at all, and the door simply looks like the decade it was installed in, and it is the last thing in an otherwise nice bathroom that has not been updated. Any of those is a good reason to call. You already have a shower door. This is about getting rid of it and putting a better one in its place.
Here is the part most Grosse Pointe homeowners are relieved to hear. Replacing the door is not remodeling the bathroom. In most cases your tile, your pan, and your plumbing stay exactly where they are. We measure the opening you already have, fabricate new glass to those numbers, take the old unit out, and set the new one in. It is a focused job, not a renovation. And to be straight with you about scope, we replace rather than repair. If your door is leaking or rusted, we are not coming to patch it, we are coming to measure it and build you a new one.
Shower Door Replacement, measured and built for Grosse Pointe.
Signs It Is Time
Water on the bathroom floor after every shower. Glass that stays cloudy no matter what you spray on it. Rust or pitting along the bottom of the frame. Rollers that stick, or a door that will not sit true anymore. Or a door that simply looks dated.
Tile Usually Stays
A replacement works inside the opening you already have. In most cases the tile, the pan, and the plumbing are untouched, and the job is limited to glass and hardware. We do not do tile, demolition, or plumbing, which keeps this a clean, contained project rather than a bathroom remodel.
Upgrade The Style
A replacement is a chance to change what you have. An old framed unit can become something cleaner. Cloudy glass can become easy-clean glass, which matters with Metro Detroit water. We will show you what your opening can take and let you decide with no pressure at all.
Out With The Old Door
The process is simple because we keep it narrow. We come to your Grosse Pointe home for the free measure, look at what is there now, and measure the opening as it actually is, not as the old door claimed it was. Then we fabricate the new glass in-house, come back, remove the old unit, and install the new one. The same family does all of it. No subcontracted glass, and no handoff to a crew that has never seen your bathroom before.
Hard water is often the real culprit behind a door that has to go. Metro Detroit minerals etch into glass over the years, and once they have, cleaning does not fully bring it back. That is worth knowing on the way in, because a replacement is your chance to start clean and to choose easy-clean glass and hardware that hold up better this time around. We will talk that through at the measure, and we will be honest about the maintenance any style really needs.

Common questions.
Do I have to redo my tile to replace the door?
In most cases, no. A replacement fits inside the opening you already have, so the tile, the pan, and the plumbing usually stay exactly as they are. We measure the existing opening, build new glass to it, remove the old unit, and install. To be clear about scope, we do not do tile, plumbing, or demolition ourselves. This is a glass job.
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.
How does the free measure work for a replacement?
You call (586) 315-8900 or text (586) 800-9481, and we set a time. A member of our family comes to your Grosse Pointe home, looks at the door you have now, and measures the actual opening. We talk through what will fit, with no pressure and no obligation, and there is no charge for the visit. Our showroom is at 42624 Van Dyke Ave in Sterling Heights.
My glass is permanently cloudy. Is that hard water?
Very likely. Metro Detroit water is hard, and over the years the minerals can etch into the surface of the glass rather than just sit on top of it. Once that happens, cleaning will not fully restore it. It is one of the most common reasons homeowners here replace a door. New glass, easy-clean options, and a squeegee habit keep the next one clear much longer.
Can I switch styles when I replace?
Usually, yes, and many Grosse Pointe homeowners take the opportunity. A replacement is a natural moment to change what you have. What your opening can support depends on the walls, the curb, and the space around the shower, which is exactly what we check at the measure. We will tell you honestly which styles will work well in your bathroom and which ones will not.
