Common Glass Shower Door Repairs And When To Seek A Professional

Glass Shower Door — Glass Repairs & Installations in Taminda, NSW

Glass shower doors are an important feature in most bathroom spaces, and with regular use, they naturally experience wear and tear. If you've noticed a problem with your shower door, you might be wondering whether you can fix it yourself or if you need to call a professional. We've put together this helpful guide exploring five of the most common shower door issues people face. 

Sticking shower door

If your shower door is sticking, a loose screw or scum build-up might be to blame. Check your hinges and see if any screws need to be tightened. If they do, all you'll need is a screwdriver to restore your door to normal. If your hinges are fine, soap scum could be the culprit and it's worth doing a deep clean. Spray your door with a combination of vinegar and dishwashing liquid before wiping it down and scrubbing it with an old toothbrush or paint scraper to remove the problem spots. Make sure you rinse and dry your door at the end of your clean.

Shower door not closing

If your door's not closing, the screws might be loose. Check all your hinges, handles and latches, and tighten any loose screws with a screwdriver. If this doesn't help, try scrubbing or cleaning the hinges. 

Shower door dragging

A dragging glass shower door likely needs realignment and clamp adjustment, with water build-up or debris likely to blame. While you might think you can just do this yourself, this work involves taking the door off its track. At the end of the day, it's best to call a professional for help.

Scratched shower door

While scratches are easy to fix, they do require professional attention. A glass repair expert will be able to buff the scratch or fill in any flaws, restoring your glass to its pristine appearance. 

Leaking shower door

A leaky shower door likely has issues with its seals. A repair technician will be able to assess the condition of your door seals and perform a quick and reliable fix.
