Sliding Tub Door Installation Process
First, we come to your home for precise measurements. Every tub opening is different, and standard sizes don’t work for custom solutions. We measure twice, account for any irregularities in your walls or tub, and discuss your style preferences.
Next, your doors are custom fabricated using tempered glass and premium hardware. Everything is built specifically for your measurements and design choices. No guessing, no hoping it fits.
Finally, our experienced team handles the complete installation. We secure the track system, install the doors, test the sliding mechanism, and seal everything properly. You can start using your new doors the same day, with full confidence they’ll perform perfectly for years to come.

How much space do I need for sliding bathtub doors?
Sliding bathtub doors are specifically designed for tight spaces where traditional hinged doors won’t work. Unlike swing doors that need clearance to open, sliding doors move along a track parallel to your tub.
You need virtually no additional floor space beyond your existing tub area. The doors slide past each other, so one panel always remains stationary while the other moves. This makes them perfect for Gilgo homes where bathroom space is at a premium.
The only requirement is that your tub opening can accommodate the track system, which adds minimal depth. Most standard bathtub installations have plenty of room for the sleek track hardware that makes the sliding mechanism possible.
Will sliding tub doors prevent water from getting on my floor?
Yes, when properly installed, sliding bathtub doors provide superior water containment compared to shower curtains. The key is professional installation with proper sealing along all edges.
We use high-quality weatherstripping and caulking to create watertight seals where the doors meet the tub and walls. The bottom track is designed to channel any water back into the tub rather than allowing it to escape onto your floor.
The glass panels overlap when closed, creating a continuous barrier. This is far more effective than fabric curtains that gap, blow around, or don’t seal properly. You’ll notice the difference immediately – no more mopping up water after every shower.
How long does installation take for sliding bathtub doors?
Most sliding bathtub door installations are completed in a single visit, typically taking 2-4 hours depending on your specific setup. The timeline includes final measurements, any minor adjustments, complete installation, and testing.
Before installation day, there’s a measurement appointment where we assess your space and discuss options. Then your doors are custom fabricated, which usually takes 1-2 weeks depending on glass type and hardware choices.
The actual installation is straightforward because everything is pre-measured and fabricated specifically for your tub. There’s no guessing or on-site modifications needed. You can use your new doors the same day they’re installed.
What's the difference between framed and frameless sliding tub doors?
Framed sliding doors have metal frames around each glass panel, while frameless doors use thicker glass with minimal hardware for a cleaner look. Both options slide smoothly, but they offer different aesthetics and price points.
Framed doors are typically more budget-friendly and work well in traditional bathroom designs. The frames add structural support and come in various finishes to match your bathroom fixtures. They’re also easier to repair if needed.
Frameless doors create a more modern, spa-like appearance and make bathrooms feel more open. They use thicker tempered glass and require more precise installation, which affects the cost. However, they’re easier to clean since there are fewer surfaces where soap scum can accumulate.
Can sliding tub doors be customized for unusual bathroom layouts?
Absolutely. Custom fabrication means your doors are built specifically for your space, no matter how unique your layout might be. We specialize in solving challenging installations that other companies often avoid.
Whether you have angled walls, unusual tub shapes, or obstacles like grab bars or fixtures, we create custom solutions. We use various hardware configurations, roller systems, and glass cutting techniques to work around any spatial challenges.
This is especially important in Gilgo homes where coastal architecture often creates unique bathroom configurations. Every door is measured and fabricated individually, so standard limitations don’t apply. If you have a tub opening, we can create sliding doors that fit perfectly.
How do I maintain and clean sliding bathtub doors?
Sliding bathtub doors are much easier to maintain than shower curtains. Regular cleaning with standard glass cleaner keeps them looking crystal clear, and there’s no fabric to replace or wash.
For daily maintenance, simply squeegee or wipe down the glass after showering to prevent water spots. Clean the track periodically by removing any soap buildup or debris that could affect smooth sliding operation.
For deeper cleaning, use a mixture of white vinegar and water for hard water stains, or standard bathroom cleaners for soap scum. The smooth glass surfaces clean easily without the mold and mildew problems common with fabric curtains. Most homeowners find they spend far less time on bathroom maintenance after switching to glass doors.
