Frequently Asked Questions
What does the labor cost for a glass shower door installation?
Most shower glass installers will charge for their work by the hour. Total labor costs usually start at around $250* but can rise to $1,000* or more if the job is particularly complicated.
What is the most expensive type of glass for a shower door?
The material you choose will have a significant impact on your overall glass shower door installation cost. At the lower end of the price scale is clear glass, while frosted is slightly more expensive. Patterned glass, such as rain glass, is usually the costliest choice for your new shower door but it does provide a stylish and distinctive addition to your bathroom décor.
How much does a shower remodel cost?
If you need more than just a new shower door, you might be tempted to choose a full shower remodeling project. A complete renovation can cost between $1,100 and $5,500*, depending on whether you have a standalone shower or need to remodel your bathtub at the same time. Less costly renovations include small jobs such as replacing the showerhead, which can eliminate leaks and improve the water pressure in your shower. You can buy a new showerhead starting at around $20* and it will not take a plumber long to install.
How should I clean my new shower glass?
Although shower glass looks great in any bathroom, it does show up dirt easily, particularly if it is clear. Cleaning it with a combination of white vinegar and baking soda should effectively dissolve stains.
