Hear from Our Customers
Professional Glass Tub Door Installation
That shower curtain isn’t containing water anymore, is it? Every time someone showers, you’re dealing with puddles on your bathroom floor and that musty smell that never quite goes away.
Sliding bathtub doors solve that problem completely. They create a proper seal that keeps water where it belongs while giving your bathroom the clean, modern look it deserves. No more wrestling with a curtain that sticks to you mid-shower.
The difference is immediate. Your bathroom feels bigger, brighter, and more finished. Plus, you’ll never have to replace another moldy shower curtain again.
Long Island Bathtub Door Specialists
We’ve been solving bathroom problems for Long Island families for over two decades. We’ve installed sliding bathtub doors in every type of home New Hyde Park has to offer, from post-war cape cods to brand-new construction.
What sets us apart isn’t just experience – it’s understanding how Long Island homes are built and what actually works long-term. We know which hardware holds up in humid bathrooms and how to work around the quirks that come with older plumbing.
Our installers are local guys who take pride in their work. They show up on time, protect your floors, and clean up completely when they’re done. Because at the end of the day, this is your home, and it should be treated that way.
Our Sliding Tub Door Process
We start with precise measurements of your tub opening, wall conditions, and existing fixtures. This isn’t a quick tape-measure job – we check for level, square, and any irregularities that could affect how your doors operate.
Next, we design doors specifically for your space. We’ll discuss glass options, hardware finishes, and door configuration to ensure everything works with your bathroom layout and style preferences. You’ll see exactly what you’re getting before we order anything.
Installation typically happens within a week of measurement. We arrive with doors pre-cut and ready to install, complete the work in a few hours, and test everything thoroughly before we leave. Your new sliding bathtub doors are ready to use immediately.

Custom Sliding Tub Door Options
Not every sliding door works in every bathroom, especially in New Hyde Park where home styles and ages vary dramatically. We stock bypass doors for wider openings, compact sliders for tight spaces, and custom configurations for unusual layouts.
Our tempered glass options include clear, frosted, and textured patterns. Hardware comes in finishes that coordinate with your existing fixtures – chrome, brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, and matte black are all available.
For local homeowners, we recommend materials that handle Long Island’s humidity and temperature swings. The track systems we use are designed for smooth operation even after years of daily use, because doors that stick or jump off track aren’t solving any problems.
How long does it take to install sliding bathtub doors?
Most sliding bathtub door installations take 2-4 hours from start to finish. We arrive with everything pre-measured and cut, ready to install based on our initial site visit.
The timeline depends on your specific bathroom setup. Standard alcove installations go quickly, while custom configurations or minor wall adjustments might add time. But you’re typically looking at a same-day completion.
We schedule installations at your convenience and work efficiently to minimize disruption. Most New Hyde Park customers are surprised by how smoothly the process goes and how quickly they can start using their new doors.
Will sliding doors work with my existing bathtub setup?
Most standard bathtubs can accommodate sliding doors, but the specific solution depends on your tub dimensions, wall conditions, and available space. That’s why we always measure in person before recommending anything.
We work with alcove tubs, corner installations, and even some unusual configurations. The key requirements are adequate wall space for door tracks and walls that can support the hardware properly.
If your current setup won’t work with sliding doors, we’ll explain why and suggest alternatives. We’d rather be upfront about limitations than install something that won’t perform well long-term.
What's the difference between framed and frameless sliding doors?
Framed sliding doors have metal frames around the glass panels, while frameless doors use thicker tempered glass without visible framing. Both options work well but offer different aesthetics and price points.
Frameless doors create a more open, contemporary look and are easier to keep clean since there are fewer crevices for soap buildup. They cost more due to the thicker glass and more precise installation requirements.
Framed doors are more budget-friendly and work well with traditional bathroom designs. They’re also more forgiving of wall irregularities, which can be helpful in older New Hyde Park homes where walls might not be perfectly straight.
How do you handle installation in older homes?
Older New Hyde Park homes often have walls that aren’t perfectly square or level, and we account for that in our measurement and installation process. We use adjustable hardware and professional techniques to ensure smooth door operation regardless of minor irregularities.
During our initial visit, we evaluate wall conditions, take multiple measurements, and identify any challenges before ordering your doors. This prevents surprises and ensures proper fit.
We’ve worked in homes from every decade since the 1940s, so we understand common issues like plaster walls, unusual tub sizes, and vintage tile work. Experience matters when dealing with the quirks of older construction.
What maintenance do sliding bathtub doors require?
Sliding doors are low-maintenance, but regular cleaning keeps them operating smoothly. We recommend wiping down glass weekly and cleaning the bottom track monthly to prevent soap and mineral buildup.
The roller systems we install are designed for daily use without frequent adjustment. Most maintenance issues can be prevented with simple cleaning after use to remove soap residue.
If doors become harder to slide or don’t close properly, it’s usually a track cleaning issue that takes minutes to resolve. We provide care instructions with every installation and remain available for questions.
Do you warranty your sliding door installations?
Yes, we warranty both our installation work and the door components. Glass panels are covered against manufacturing defects, and hardware is warrantied against premature failure under normal use conditions.
Our installation warranty covers issues related to improper fitting, water leakage, or hardware problems resulting from our workmanship. We stand behind our installations because we want your doors working properly for years.
If problems arise, we return to make things right. After over 20 years serving Long Island homeowners, our reputation depends on customer satisfaction with both initial installation and long-term performance.
