Quick Shower Door Fixes

Sometimes all your shower door needs is a good cleaning. Years of soap and hard water build up can take a toll on your shower door. If your sliding shower door isn’t sliding as easily as it should, the track might be full of build up. The same goes for doors with hinges. There might be build up around the hinges as well, causing your door to not open or close as easily as it once did. 

Before contacting a professional, try giving the track, hinges and door a deep clean. Using an ammonia based cleaner, give all the areas of the shower door some much needed love. Something as simple as this can often times fix a less-than-perfect door. But if the problem persists, there are other factors to consider.

As history would have it, water and metal don’t mix well together. Shower doors live in a damp climate, which subjects the metal parts of the shower door to rust. Over time, the screws, hinges, shower track and even track parts can become corroded with rust.When this happens, it’s important to contact a professional. They can replace these parts, and if you have a warranty on the door, you may not have to pay anything at all!

Stay away from abrasive powders, abrasive pads, and steel wool. These strong chemicals and abrasive cleaning agents will not only harm the glass, but they will damage your shower door hardware, and compromise the silicone and seals which will create leaks.

ALWAYS Remember That Glass Is Very Porous And Needs To Be Protected And Cared For Properly
