Installing a shower door is an essential step in completing any bathroom renovation project.

Transforming a humble shower space into a beautiful, highly functional shower enclosure. Our team at professional shower door installation and shower door fitting services takes excellent care to ensure that your new shower door - whether it's a stylish frameless shower door installation or a convenient sliding shower door installation - is installed with the utmost precision and care, giving you a watertight seal and smooth operation for the whole family.

When it comes to handling large, heavy glass panels, accurately drilling into tile or stone, and making sure the door is perfectly plumb and level, it's a job best left to contractors who are experienced in the trade. Poor installation can lead to persistent shower leaks, door misalignment, and safety hazards due to improperly supported glass. We have the expertise and specialized tools to handle every step of the installation process, from carefully removing your old door to the final installation and sealing of the new unit. This kind of dedication ensures that your new shower door fits perfectly and lasts long for your bathroom.

Expert Installation for Your Dream Shower Door

Deciding to install a new shower door gives your bathroom a massive makeover - whether you're going for sleek, modern style with a frameless glass door or looking for the practicality of sliding shower doors. Our team of professional installers specialises in all types of shower door installations, offering glass shower door replacements that meet the high standards of homeowners across Canada. A successful installation starts with precise measurements of the shower opening, a critical step to ensure a perfect fit and prevent leaks.

We know every shower enclosure is different, and our installers bring the right tools and technical expertise to address any challenges posed by your specific tile or wall material. We use specialist drill bits to accurately drill holes through even the toughest tile or the rough stuff. We take good care of the heavy glass panels, utilising professional support systems to ensure the door is securely supported throughout the process. We take pride in delivering an excellent job, paying attention to the small details that make a beautiful finished shower.

Our service covers all the bases for shower door needs, including complex installations such as custom glass shower door projects. The installation process is a multi-stage affair. First, we carefully remove the old door and give the surface a good clean before the new frame or glass panels arrive. Then we get to work, taking precise measurements and marking the wall for the aluminium tracks or the hinge pivot points.

Getting the frame or vertical lines of a frameless door just right is critical, as even a slight misalignment can affect the door's operation and potentially cause leaks. We use a professional drill to create secure holes for the wall anchors and mounting screws. Once the frame or fixed panels are installed and sealed, we carefully lift and install the movable door panels, attaching the hardware and ensuring the rollers or hinges allow smooth movement.

For sliding shower doors, we connect the rollers and give the door a full run in the track to ensure smooth operation. And finally, we seal the frame where it meets the wall and floor to keep your bathroom dry from water damage, completing the door installation with a clean finish.

Choosing Our Top-Notch Shower Door Installation Service for Your Project

Choosing a quality shower door installation service like ours can make or break a renovation project.

If done incorrectly, a shower door installation can cause a world of trouble - water damage, leaks, and even costly repairs to your bathroom. That's why we bring a wealth of expertise to every shower door installation we do. Our installers have the expertise to use the right sealants, verify that all screws are secure, and ensure the entire shower enclosure is square and level. And when it comes to heavy frameless glass panels, getting the placement of wall anchors and support bars just right is crucial, and we follow the manufacturer's instructions to ensure it.

One thing that really sets us apart is how carefully we handle all the materials - and it's not just about avoiding scratching the glass or damaging your existing tile, but also about complementing your bathroom decor . We also ensure the door is installed exactly to the manufacturer's specifications, which can be a dealbreaker if you do it yourself. We guarantee a shower door that not only looks great but also works smoothly and quietly.

• Watertight Sealing and Protection: We apply the highest-quality, mould-resistant silicone sealant around the shower door frame, ensuring there are no gaps where water can enter. By doing this, we're protecting the surrounding bathroom from water damage and extending its lifespan.

• Structural Support and Safety: For frameless shower door installation, we drill holes in the wall to anchor the support bars and hinges directly into the studs. With this attention to detail, we can provide maximum stability and support for the heavy door.

• Precision Measurement and Fit: Our installers never eyeball the opening - they meticulously measure the exact width and height to ensure a perfect fit. We get it right the first time, every time, so you don't have to worry about leaks or water damage.

• Smooth Door Operation: We install hinges or rollers on sliding doors to ensure they swing or slide smoothly and quietly. For sliding shower doors, we fine-tune the rollers to ensure smooth, efficient, seamless entry to the shower.

• Handling Complex Materials: We've extensive experience working with complex glass and fragile tile surfaces, and we always use the right tools and techniques to prevent cracking or chipping of your finishes. We care about the bathroom as much as you do.

• Disposing of Old Materials: We handle the removal and responsible disposal of your old door, including all glass and aluminum frame components, so you don't have to lift a finger.

What Sets Our Professional Installation Apart

Our service is built on a commitment to the highest technical specifications and to using only the best materials for every door installation. We drill holes with precision, using carbide bits explicitly designed for tile and masonry to ensure everything is done right. For sliding shower doors, we provide the aluminium frame tracks that are perfectly aligned using a laser level, so the rollers glide smoothly along the track.

With frameless panels, we measure the clearance between the stationary glass panels and the swinging door to within millimeters, ensuring a snug seal that supports left- or right-opening functionality. The mounting hardware, usually in chrome or brushed nickel, is carefully connected and tightened per the manufacturer's instructions, which is what sets us apart. We take the time to get it right and move forward , and that makes all the difference in the final product.

• Heavy Glass Handling: We safely transport and install heavy glass panels for frameless shower door installations, taking care to avoid stressing the glass and to provide adequate support with the mounting hardware.

• A Secure Frame: We take care to ensure the frame or vertical support tracks are perfectly plumb and level. And for good reason - it's crucial for the smooth operation of sliding shower doors and the longevity of the door hinges.

• Wall Anchors are Vital: Use high-strength wall anchors and corrosion-resistant screws or bolts to securely fasten the frame or glass panels to the wall studs or behind the tile. That way, the door won't start shifting over time, and you can rest easy, knowing your family is safe.

• Fine-Tuning: We adjust the rollers in sliding door systems and the hinge closing mechanism until the door closes fully and securely, ensuring a watertight seal. It's all about a seamless entry and exit.

• High-Quality Hardware: We use only first-rate chrome or other corrosion-resistant hardware to keep your new shower door looking its best and working smoothly in the shower environment.

• Drainage is Important: Make sure the door sweeps or drip rails point inward toward the shower to prevent water from flowing onto the bathroom floor.

• Follow the Rules: We adhere to all manufacturers' instructions to ensure your product warranty remains valid. This is one of the key benefits of choosing a professional for your glass shower door replacement. That's what we do to provide our customers with reliable assistance.

We Do Things Right

Installation and Reliability

A reliable shower door hinges on a top-notch installation. When you choose our shower handyman services, you're committing to a durable, leak-free shower. It all starts with carefully unboxing and inspecting every single glass panel and frame component. Next, we take precise measurements of the shower opening at least three times (top, middle, floor) to account for any uneven walls. That way, we can install the vertical frame pieces or hinges just where they're needed. We then use a laser level to mark the exact spot where we need to drill into the wall.

Now, you might think this sounds easy, but believe me, drilling through ceramic or porcelain tile requires a level head and the right tools to avoid cracking the tile or weakening the wall structure. Next, we install the wall anchors and secure the fixed panels or frame pieces with corrosion-resistant screws and bolts. And that's not all - we also seal the bottom and vertical edges of the stationary glass panels where they meet the tile and the wall to prevent any soap scum buildup .

For sliding shower doors, the overhead aluminum track is the real MVP. We get it in just right - level and firmly supported - and then we attach the rollers to the movable sliding door panels and lift them onto the track, adjusting the rollers so they glide smoothly and quietly, and close securely.

For frameless doors, we connect the hinges and support bars to the fixed glass and the wall, ensuring the door has the correct clearance. Once the door is in place, we seal the frame and panels to the floor and wall using silicone to create a permanen,t waterproof barrier. And we don't stop there - we test the door multiple times to make sure the opening and closing are smooth, and make any final adjustments to the hinges or rollers to get a perfect fit.

Our installers provide a step-by-step guide to keeping your finish looking its best - especially the chrome and glass surfaces. We recommend mild cleaners to keep the door looking and working like new for a long life . And don't just take our word for it - our customers can see for themselves how we do business by checking out online reviews from across Canada. We back our work with a strong product warranty and are proud to deliver excellent results.

Now, here's a step-by-step guide to what we do to give you a top-notch installation:

1. Preparation and Measurement: Measure the shower opening accurately and determine the appropriate unit size. Remove the old door and give the tile and wall a thorough cleanup before we can get started.

2. Marking and Drilling: Use a level to mark the wall where the frame or hinges will be installed. And don't forget to use the right drill bit when you're drilling holes for the wall anchors and screws - you don't want to make a mess of it.

3. Frame Installation: Secure the aluminum frame or fixed glass panels to the wall with screws and bolts; ensure they are straight and well supported.

4. Sealing the Fixed Panels: Apply silicone sealant to the bottom and where the fixed panels meet the wall and floor to ensure the shower space is watertight.

5. Getting the Door Together: Attach the rollers or hinges to the door panels, then carefully lift and set the door on the frame or track for a sliding job.

6. Adjusting and Connecting: Adjust the hinges or rollers so the door moves smoothly and closes tightly. For a frameless design, don't forget to connect the support bar.

7. Tying It All Up: Apply a bit more silicone to any remaining gaps to ensure a watertight shower enclosure. And while we're at it, give the customer tips on how to keep the glass looking its best without using harsh soap that could damage the modern design.
