Shower Door Replacement In Royal Oak, MI
If your door leaks, sticks, or has gone permanently cloudy, you do not need to redo the bathroom. You need new glass. We take the old enclosure out and build a new one to fit.
New Glass Without Redoing The Tile
Most shower doors do not fail all at once. They get worse slowly, until one day you notice you have been living with it. Water creeps past the bottom and onto the floor. The track never looks clean no matter what you spray on it. The frame has gone chalky or started to pit. The glass has picked up so much mineral etching from years of hard Metro Detroit water that no cleaner brings it back. Or the whole thing is simply the wrong era for a bathroom you have since updated. Any one of those is a good reason to replace the door.
Here is the part that surprises people. Replacing the door does not mean replacing the bathroom. In most cases the tile is fine and the shower itself is sound. What has aged out is the glass and the metal holding it. We remove the old enclosure, measure the opening as it actually sits today, fabricate new glass to those numbers, and install it. The tile stays. The plumbing stays. Your bathroom looks like it got a full renovation, and all that changed is the part you were already unhappy with. For the disruption involved, it is hard to beat.
Shower Door Replacement, measured and built for Royal Oak.
Signs It Is Time
Water on the floor after every shower. A door that binds or drags. Rust or pitting on the frame. Glass that stays cloudy after you clean it. Hardware from a decade you would rather not think about. If two or more of those sound familiar, replacement is the honest answer.
Tile Stays Put
This is a glass swap, not a demolition. We take out the old door and enclosure and set the new one into the same opening. You are not looking at a gutted bathroom, a dumpster in the driveway, or weeks without a working shower. The tile you paid for stays where it is.
Upgrade The Look
Replacement is your chance to change the style, not just the condition. A dated framed unit can come out and a cleaner semi-frameless or frameless enclosure can go in, built with 3/8-inch tempered glass. Ask us what your opening will support and we will lay out the options.
How A Replacement Actually Goes
It starts with a free in-home measure, and on a replacement that visit matters even more than usual. We are not measuring a fresh opening from a plan, we are measuring one that has lived a life. Walls have settled. The old unit may have been forced in to begin with. That is why we come to you. We take the numbers as the opening is today, not as it was supposed to be, and we tell you plainly what your options are given what is actually there.
Then we build your new enclosure in-house and our own crew comes back to install it. The old door comes out, the new glass goes in, and the seals get set so the water goes where it should. If your door is far enough gone that you are searching for answers, a proper replacement will serve you better than another patch. Same family, first call to last.

Common questions.
Do I have to redo my tile to replace the door?
Almost never. If the tile and the shower base are sound, we work with the opening you have. We measure it exactly as it sits, fabricate the new enclosure to those numbers, and install it in the same space the old one occupied. Your tile stays where it is, and your bathroom never turns into a construction zone.
My glass is cloudy and will not come clean. Can it be saved?
Often it cannot, and that is not your fault. Hard water in Oakland County leaves minerals behind, and over years those minerals etch into the surface of untreated glass. At that point the haze is in the glass, not on it, so no cleaner will lift it. Replacing the panel with easy-clean glass solves it, and makes the new one far easier to keep clear.
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.
Can I change the style when I replace the door?
Yes, and it is worth thinking about. Since we are building new glass either way, replacement is the natural moment to move from a heavy framed unit to something cleaner, or to change how the door opens if the old layout never worked for the room. We will lay the options out side by side at the measure and let you decide with no pressure.
