More Space, Less Hassle, Better Mornings
Your bathroom doesn’t have to feel cramped anymore. Sliding bathtub doors eliminate the swing space that traditional doors demand, instantly making your bathroom feel larger and more functional.
You get smooth, quiet operation every time you shower. No more wrestling with doors that stick or slam shut. Modern soft-close mechanisms ensure your doors glide effortlessly and close gently, reducing wear and protecting your investment.
The right sliding tub doors also mean easier cleaning and maintenance. Frameless designs eliminate the metal frames that trap soap scum and grime, giving you more time to enjoy your space instead of scrubbing it.

Glass Tub Door Options
Built for Your Space and Style
Your sliding bathtub doors come with multiple glass thickness options—1/4″ and 3/8″ tempered glass—depending on your preferences and budget. We also offer frosted, etched, and textured glass for privacy without sacrificing light.
Hardware finishes include brushed nickel, matte black, chrome, and brushed gold to match your existing bathroom fixtures. Soft-close mechanisms are available for that premium, hotel-like experience that’s become increasingly popular among Long Island homeowners.
Remsenburg-Speonk’s proximity to the water means humidity is a constant consideration. That’s why we use corrosion-resistant hardware and offer protective coatings that reduce water spots and make cleaning easier. These aren’t just aesthetic choices—they’re practical decisions that extend the life of your investment in this coastal environment.
How much space do sliding bathtub doors actually save compared to hinged doors?
Sliding doors eliminate the need for clearance space that hinged doors require. A standard hinged door needs about 30 inches of clear space to open fully, which in many Long Island bathrooms means the door hits the toilet, vanity, or opposite wall.
Sliding doors operate within their own track system, so they need zero clearance space beyond the tub opening itself. This can effectively give you back 6-8 square feet of usable bathroom space, which makes a dramatic difference in smaller bathrooms.
The space savings also means you can place towel bars, storage, or other fixtures closer to your tub without worrying about door interference. Many of our Remsenburg-Speonk clients are surprised by how much more functional their bathroom becomes with this simple change.
What's the difference between bypass doors and single sliding doors for tubs?
Bypass doors have two panels that slide past each other, giving you access to about half the tub opening at any time. They’re the traditional sliding door design that most people recognize, and they work well for standard bathtub widths.
Single sliding doors feature one large panel that slides to one side, providing full access to your tub opening. This design has become more popular recently because it’s easier to enter and exit, especially for anyone with mobility considerations.
The choice often depends on your tub configuration and personal preference. Bypass doors can be more cost-effective, while single sliding doors offer better accessibility and a more modern appearance. We’ll assess your specific situation during our consultation to recommend the best option for your needs.
How do you handle installation in older Long Island homes with uneven walls?
Older homes on Long Island often have walls that aren’t perfectly plumb or level, which can create challenges for door installation. We’ve developed techniques specifically for these situations over our 20 years in business.
First, we use precise measuring equipment to map any irregularities in your walls and tub surround. Then we can fabricate doors with adjustable components that compensate for these variations, ensuring proper fit and operation.
In some cases, we may recommend minor wall preparation before installation. This might involve shimming or adjusting mounting points to create the solid, level foundation that sliding doors require. We always discuss these details upfront so there are no surprises, and we handle any necessary prep work as part of our service.
What maintenance do sliding bathtub doors require over time?
Sliding tub doors require minimal maintenance when properly installed, but a few simple habits will keep them operating smoothly for years. The most important step is using a squeegee or towel to remove water from the glass after each shower, which prevent water spots and mineral buildup.
The track system should be cleaned monthly with a soft brush to remove any soap residue or debris. Most operational issues we see stem from buildup in the tracks, which is easily prevented with regular cleaning.
Hardware components like rollers and handles may need occasional adjustment or lubrication, typically every few years depending on usage. We provide detailed care instructions with every installation and offer maintenance services if needed. The good news is that quality sliding doors, properly installed, often operate smoothly for decades with just basic care.
Can sliding doors be installed on any type of bathtub?
Most standard bathtubs can accommodate sliding doors, but the specific tub design and surrounding walls determine the best approach. Alcove tubs—those surrounded by walls on three sides—are ideal candidates for sliding door installation.
Corner tubs and some freestanding tubs may require custom solutions or may not be suitable for sliding doors at all. The key factors are having adequate wall structure for mounting and sufficient tub rim width to support the door system.
We evaluate every installation individually during our consultation. If your tub isn’t suitable for sliding doors, we’ll explain why and suggest alternative solutions. Our goal is always to recommend what will work best for your specific situation, not to sell you something that won’t perform properly.
How long does installation typically take and what should I expect?
Most sliding bathtub door installations are completed in 2-4 hours, depending on the complexity of your specific project. We schedule installations at your convenience and provide accurate time estimates based on your particular situation.
Our installation team arrives with all necessary tools and materials, including protective coverings for your floors and fixtures. We work efficiently while maintaining attention to detail, and we clean up completely before considering the job finished.
You can use your shower immediately after installation in most cases. We test all door operation, check all seals, and walk through proper use and care with you before we leave. Our goal is to complete your project with minimal disruption to your daily routine while ensuring everything works perfectly from day one.
