Time for a New Shower Door?
Leaking at the edges, cloudy glass that won’t come clean, a slider that grinds no matter how many times the rollers are replaced, or a dated framed unit dragging down a renovated bathroom — sooner or later every shower door reaches the end of the line. Showercrafters has been replacing shower doors across Long Island since 1985. Because we fabricate replacement glass in our own Lynbrook shop, your new door is cut to the existing opening — which usually means no re-tiling, no wall repairs, and no settling for a stock size that almost fits.
Repair or Replace? We’ll Tell You Honestly
Plenty of “failed” shower doors just need parts. Before you pay for a new door, consider repair if:
• The glass is intact but the door sags, sticks or won’t latch — usually hinges, pivots or rollers.
• Water leaks at the bottom or edges — worn seals and sweeps are cheap to replace.
• A handle or towel bar broke — we stock replacements, including discontinued finishes.
Our parts & service desk repairs doors from every manufacturer and specializes in hard-to-find parts. Replacement is the smarter investment when the glass itself is chipped, etched or permanently hazed, when framing is corroded through, when the door never fit the opening correctly, or when parts for a discontinued unit no longer exist. Either way, you get a straight answer — repairing doors is our business too, so we have no reason to sell you a door you don’t need.
Replacement Options for Every Shower
Like-for-like replacement — a new single door, sliding door or neo angle unit matched to your existing configuration and opening.
Framed-to-frameless upgrade — the most popular replacement: swap an aging framed door for thick tempered frameless glass for a cleaner, brighter, easier-to-clean shower.
Tub door and curtain conversions — replace a clingy curtain or sliding tub door with a glass splash guard or hinged tub panel.
Parts and hardware refresh — before you buy a new door, our parts & service desk can check whether new hardware will make your current door work like new.
What Shower Door Replacement Costs
The price depends on the size of the opening, the configuration, the glass type and thickness, and the hardware finish — a like-for-like framed door costs considerably less than a full frameless enclosure. Because we fabricate in-house and sell at wholesale pricing, replacement usually costs less than people expect, and we quote the exact number for free after measuring. See our custom glass options and pricing factors for what drives the cost.

Shower Door Replacement FAQs
Should I try repairing my shower door before replacing it?
Often worth checking, yes. A door that looks worn out may just need new hardware. We stock hard-to-find and discontinued parts for almost every manufacturer, and our service team can make many older doors look and work like new again. If repair is the smarter option, we’ll tell you.
Do I need to re-tile when replacing a shower door?
Usually not. Because we custom-cut the replacement to your existing opening, sound tile and curb stay untouched. Re-tiling only enters the picture when the substrate behind the old frame is damaged.
Can you replace a shower door no matter who made or installed it?
Yes. We’ve been installing and servicing shower doors since 1985 and replace doors from every manufacturer, regardless of age or who installed the original.
How long does shower door replacement take?
We measure the opening, fabricate the glass in our Lynbrook shop, and schedule installation — installation is usually completed in a single visit. Timing varies with glass type and hardware availability; you’ll get a schedule with your free estimate.
