Tips: Repair a Shower Door


windows and doors
Door problems: If your door or glass panel is leaking, it may just need to be recaulked. The caulking bead is what prevents water from leaking out along the seams of the glass. Check along the edges of the glass to see if you can spot the leak. It's best to use silicon caulk to make things water tight.

If a shower door will not close properly, the door may not be plumb or the hinges may be loose (for a swing-out door). If you need to replace the glass in your shower door, you might want to take the opportunity and spice up your bathroom by using a decorative glass.

Shower glass that is loose may just need a new line of caulking. If the door is old, the original caulking may have cracked over the years. Shower doors usually run on tracks with wheels. If your doors aren't sliding correctly, try resetting the wheels in the tracks before calling in a professional..
