Finally, a Bathroom That Works and Wows
You wake up each morning to a bathroom that feels more like a luxury spa than a cramped afterthought. Your sliding bathtub doors glide effortlessly along their track, never banging into your vanity or taking up precious floor space.
Water stays exactly where it belongs—inside your tub—instead of pooling on your bathroom floor like it did with that old shower curtain. The clean lines of frameless glass make your bathroom feel twice as large, and the morning light streams through without obstruction.
Your guests notice the difference immediately. This isn’t just a functional upgrade; it’s the kind of thoughtful design choice that elevates your entire home’s value and your daily routine.

What Sets Our Sliding Doors Apart
Every sliding bathtub door we install features heavy-duty rollers designed for smooth, quiet operation. Our tempered glass meets all safety standards while providing crystal-clear visibility that showcases your beautiful tile work.
Shelter Island’s coastal environment demands materials that resist corrosion and humidity. That’s why we use marine-grade hardware and apply protective coatings that keep your doors looking pristine despite salt air exposure.
Your installation includes our signature attention to detail—precise caulking, perfect alignment, and thorough testing of all mechanisms. We also provide care instructions specific to your door type, ensuring you get maximum lifespan from your investment. With our extensive warranty coverage, you have peace of mind that your doors are protected against defects and installation issues.
How much space do sliding bathtub doors save compared to hinged doors?
Sliding doors eliminate the need for swing clearance entirely, which can save 2-3 feet of floor space in your bathroom. This makes them ideal for Shelter Island homes where bathrooms are often compact or have fixtures positioned close together.
Unlike hinged doors that require a clear arc to open and close, sliding doors move along a track parallel to your tub. This means you can position vanities, toilets, or storage much closer to your tub without interference. For many of our Shelter Island clients, this space savings allows them to include features they couldn’t otherwise fit, like larger vanities or linen storage.
What's the difference between framed and frameless sliding tub doors?
Frameless sliding doors use thicker tempered glass (typically 3/8″ or 1/2″) and minimal hardware for a clean, modern look that makes your bathroom appear larger. They’re easier to clean since there’s no frame to trap soap scum, and they showcase your tile work beautifully.
Framed doors use thinner glass with metal framing around the perimeter. While more budget-friendly, they create more visual lines and require additional cleaning around the frame. For Shelter Island’s luxury market, most homeowners prefer frameless doors for their sophisticated appearance and easier maintenance.
The choice often comes down to budget and style preference, though frameless doors typically offer better long-term value through easier cleaning and timeless aesthetics.
How do you ensure sliding doors won't leak water onto my floor?
Proper water containment starts with precise measurement and installation. We install door sweeps along the bottom track and use high-quality seals at all connection points. Our track systems are designed with subtle slopes that direct any minor water back into the tub.
During installation, we test water flow patterns with your specific shower head and body sprays to ensure optimal door positioning. We also check that your existing tub lip provides adequate height—if not, we can recommend solutions before proceeding.
It’s important to understand that sliding doors aren’t completely watertight like hinged doors, but with proper installation and quality components, water containment is excellent. We’ll show you exactly how your doors should perform and provide maintenance tips to keep seals in optimal condition.
Can you install sliding doors on any bathtub configuration?
We can install sliding doors on most standard bathtub configurations, including alcove tubs, corner installations, and some freestanding tubs with appropriate surrounds. However, success depends on having adequate structural support and proper measurements.
For challenging installations—like tubs with unusual dimensions or awkward vanity placement—we excel where other companies often decline the job. We create custom solutions using specialized hardware and innovative mounting techniques.
During our consultation, we evaluate your specific tub setup, surrounding walls, and any obstacles. If sliding doors aren’t ideal for your configuration, we’ll explain why and suggest alternative solutions that better suit your space and needs.
How long does installation take and what should I expect?
Most sliding bathtub door installations complete in 3-4 hours, depending on complexity. We arrive with all necessary tools and materials, protect your floors with drop cloths, and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
The process involves mounting the track system, installing panels, adjusting rollers, and testing all mechanisms. We then apply final seals, clean thoroughly, and walk you through proper operation and care.
You can typically use your shower the same day, though we recommend waiting 24 hours before the first use to allow all seals to fully cure. We provide detailed care instructions and contact information for any questions that arise after installation.
What maintenance do sliding bathtub doors require over time?
Sliding doors require minimal maintenance when properly installed with quality components. Weekly cleaning with standard glass cleaner keeps panels clear, while monthly track cleaning prevents buildup that could affect smooth operation.
The most important maintenance involves keeping the bottom track free of soap scum and debris. A simple brush or cloth removes most buildup, and occasional deep cleaning with mild detergent keeps rollers moving smoothly.
We recommend annual inspection of seals and hardware, especially in Shelter Island’s coastal environment where salt air can accelerate wear. Most components last 10-15 years with basic care, and we stock replacement parts for all doors we install. Our team is always available for maintenance questions or service calls if needed.
