Custom Glass Tub Door Installation
Your shower curtain isn’t doing its job anymore. Water’s getting everywhere, the plastic looks cheap, and you’re tired of dealing with mold in the corners.
Sliding bathtub doors solve all of that. They contain water where it belongs, open up your bathroom visually, and give you something that actually looks intentional instead of like an afterthought.
The difference is immediate. Clean lines instead of bunched-up fabric. Easy cleaning instead of scrubbing mildew. A bathroom that feels more expensive than it was.

Bathtub Door Installation Process
The process starts with an in-home consultation where we measure your space and discuss your preferences. No guessing, no “standard sizes”—everything is measured to fit your specific tub opening.

Sliding Tub Door Options
Most Deer Park homes were built between the 1970s and 1990s, which means standard tub openings but often tight bathroom layouts. We specialize in solutions that work with these constraints.
Our sliding doors are ideal for bathrooms where space is at a premium. Unlike hinged doors that swing out into the room, sliding panels move along tracks, giving you full access to your tub without requiring extra clearance.
Glass options include clear tempered safety glass, frosted varieties for privacy, and low-iron glass for ultra-clear appearance. Hardware comes in finishes that coordinate with modern fixtures—chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, and oil-rubbed bronze.
Every door system includes soft-close mechanisms to prevent slamming and extend the life of your investment. The track systems are designed for smooth operation and easy cleaning.
How much do sliding bathtub doors cost in Deer Park?
Installation costs typically range from $800 to $1,500 for most Deer Park homes, depending on glass type, hardware finish, and any customization needed for your specific tub opening.
Basic sliding doors with standard clear glass and chrome hardware fall on the lower end of that range. Premium options like low-iron glass, specialty finishes, or doors requiring custom measurements will cost more.
The investment makes sense when you consider that quality sliding tub doors can last 15-20 years with proper care, and they immediately improve both function and appearance of your bathroom.
What's the difference between framed and frameless sliding tub doors?
Framed doors have metal tracks and frames around the glass panels, typically made from aluminum. They’re more affordable and work well in traditional bathroom designs.
Frameless doors use thicker tempered glass with minimal hardware—just tracks and handles. They create a cleaner, more modern look and make small bathrooms feel larger because there’s less visual obstruction.
The choice often comes down to budget and style preference. Framed doors are practical and cost-effective. Frameless doors offer a premium appearance but require a higher investment upfront.
How long does sliding bathtub door installation take?
Most installations are completed in 2-4 hours, depending on whether you’re replacing existing doors or installing them for the first time.
If you currently have shower curtains, the installation involves mounting tracks to your tub rim and wall, then fitting and adjusting the glass panels. Replacing old sliding doors is often quicker since the mounting points are already established.
The process includes protecting your bathroom surfaces, precise measurement and fitting, caulking for water-tight seals, and a final inspection to ensure smooth operation.
Do sliding tub doors work with all bathtub types?
Sliding doors work with most standard bathtubs, including alcove tubs (surrounded by three walls), which are common in Deer Park homes built in the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
The key requirement is a level tub rim for proper track mounting. Most quality installations can accommodate minor variations in level, but severely warped or damaged tub edges may need repair first.
Corner tubs, freestanding tubs, and some vintage clawfoot styles may require different door solutions. A consultation can determine the best approach for your specific bathtub configuration.
What maintenance do sliding bathtub doors require?
Regular maintenance is minimal but important for longevity. Weekly cleaning with standard glass cleaner keeps the panels clear and prevents soap scum buildup.
The tracks should be cleaned monthly to remove hair and debris that can interfere with smooth sliding. A damp cloth and mild detergent are usually sufficient.
Annual inspection of the caulk seals around the frame ensures water-tight performance. Most seals last 5-7 years before needing replacement, which is a simple maintenance task that prevents water damage to surrounding areas.
Can sliding tub doors be customized for unique bathroom layouts?
Yes, customization is often necessary for older Deer Park homes where bathroom dimensions don’t match current standard sizes.
Common customizations include adjusting door width for non-standard tub openings, modifying track systems for low ceilings or unusual wall angles, and selecting specific glass treatments for privacy or style preferences.
We specialize in custom solutions for challenging installations. We’ve handled everything from awkwardly placed vanities to complex shower curbs that require special hardware configurations.
