Shower Door Repair in Ucon, ID: We Fix Every Type, Every Problem, Every Bathroom
Your shower door is the first fixture you touch every morning and the last one you deal with every night. When it works — closing smoothly, sealing tightly, keeping water where it belongs — you never think about it. When it does not work, you think about it twice a day. The water that pools on the bathroom floor after every shower. The door that drags instead of gliding. The frameless panel that has sagged just enough that it no longer closes flush. The mildew embedded in seals you cannot reach. The handle that wobbles in your wet hand.
No other fixture in your home endures what a shower door endures. Direct water bombardment, steam saturation, soap and mineral buildup, temperature cycling from hot steam to cool air, constant humidity, and the mechanical stress of being operated by wet hands multiple times every day. This relentless combination degrades every component — seals, hardware, glass, frame — more aggressively than any other environment in the house.

A shower door that leaks puts water on your bathroom floor — water that seeps under baseboards, penetrates grout, saturates subfloor, and promotes hidden mold and rot that turns a $100 seal replacement into a $5,000 bathroom renovation.
Kustom is the shower door repair team Ucon homeowners call when their shower door is not doing its job. We fix every type — frameless, framed, sliding, pivot, neo-angle, bathtub, walk-in, and steam enclosures. We repair every component — seals, hinges, rollers, tracks, clamps, handles, glass, and frames. And we verify our repairs with water testing before we leave, because a shower door repair is not complete until the water stays where it belongs.
Call (888) 670-9331, and end the daily reminder that your shower door needs attention.
The most common complaint and the most consequential. Water escaping the enclosure means a seal has failed, a panel is misaligned, a sweep is worn, or the door is not closing flush. The water you mop up is the water you can see. The moisture that seeps under the threshold and into the subfloor is the water that causes real damage.
A shower door that does not close smoothly has a mechanical problem in its hinge, roller, or pivot system. Mineral buildup on hardware, corroded hinges, worn rollers, and shifted frame alignment are all common causes. A door that does not close properly is a door that does not seal properly — which means it is also a leaking door.
Frameless doors — heavy tempered glass panels supported by hinges or clamps without a surrounding frame — are beautiful when aligned and frustrating when they are not. The weight of the panel — typically 40 to 80 pounds — puts constant stress on hinge and clamp hardware. Over time, that stress produces gradual sagging and misalignment that compromises function and appearance.
Sliding shower doors depend on small rollers and precise track alignment. When rollers wear, tracks corrode or fill with mineral deposits, or guides shift, the panels stick, bind, and jump their tracks. A sliding door that requires special handling is a door with a fixable problem.
Rubber and vinyl seals are in constant moisture contact and are the first surfaces to develop mold. Over time, mold penetrates into the seal material itself, becoming impossible to clean. Permanently discolored seals need replacement — not just for appearance but for hygiene.
Hinges, clamps, brackets, towel bars, handles, and screws operate in a corrosive environment that degrades finishes, loosens connections, and weakens mounting points. Loose hardware on a heavy frameless door is more than cosmetic — it is a safety concern.
Chips from shampoo bottles and razors. Cracks from impact or hardware stress points. Hard water mineral deposits that have etched the glass surface over years, creating permanent haze no cleaning removes. Each condition requires a different response.
Click here to Call (888) 670-9331Constant Water and Steam: Every shower delivers minutes of pressurized water and steam directly onto every surface. This daily assault is the primary driver of every form of shower door deterioration.
Hard Water Mineral Deposits — Ucon's Hidden Destroyer: Ucon's water contains dissolved calcium, magnesium, and silica that deposit on glass and hardware as water evaporates. These deposits build gradually, creating white cloudy film on glass that becomes increasingly difficult to remove. On hardware, mineral deposits accelerate corrosion by trapping moisture against metal. On tracks, deposits impede roller movement.
Soap Scum and Chemical Residue: Soap, shampoo, and body wash residues combine with minerals to create soap scum that coats every surface. On tracks and rollers, it creates friction. On seals, it promotes mold. On hardware, it traps moisture.
Humidity That Never Fully Dries: Bathrooms maintain higher humidity than other rooms. Shower door components exist in near-constant moisture exposure. Seals never fully dry. Hardware never fully dries. This persistent moisture eliminates the drying periods that would otherwise slow corrosion and mold growth.
Daily Thermal Cycling: Every shower creates a thermal cycle — glass, hardware, and seals heat rapidly from steam, then cool as the bathroom returns to ambient temperature. This daily expansion and contraction stresses seal adhesion, hardware connections, and caulk joints over thousands of cycles.
Daily Mechanical Stress — Wet Hands, Constant Use: Shower doors are operated by wet hands with less precision and more force than dry-handed operation. Daily wet-handed use loosens hardware, wears hinges and rollers, and stresses glass-to-hardware connections.
Frameless Shower Doors: Heavy tempered glass panels supported by hinges, clips, or clamps. We service all frameless configurations — single door, door with fixed panel, and 90-degree returns.
Semi-Frameless Shower Doors: Minimal framing with frameless glass panels. We repair both frame components and glass-to-hardware connections.
Framed Shower Doors: Fully framed enclosures with metal framing around every glass edge. We repair frame corrosion, seal failures, hinge and pivot hardware, and glass retention.
Sliding / Bypass Shower Doors: Two or more glass panels on parallel tracks. We repair rollers, tracks, guides, bumpers, and towel bar handles.
Pivot and Hinged Shower Doors: Doors that swing on a pivot point or traditional hinges. We repair pivot pins, hinges, swing alignment, and waterproofing challenges unique to these designs.
Neo-Angle Shower Doors: Three-panel enclosures for corner showers with angled entry. Unique hardware geometry and seal configurations we service with specialized knowledge.
Curved and Round Enclosures: Curved glass panels on curved tracks. Require specific roller and track hardware matched to the curve radius.
Bathtub Shower Doors: Doors mounted on a bathtub ledge — typically sliding bypass. The tub-mounted track creates specific repair challenges we address routinely.
Walk-In Panels and Fixed Glass: Fixed glass panels serving as water barriers. We repair mounting hardware, edge seals, and glass damage.
Steam Shower Enclosures: Fully sealed enclosures containing steam as well as water. Sealing requirements are significantly more demanding. We repair with the airtight standards steam enclosures require.
Bottom Seal and Sweep Replacement: The bottom seal — the flexible strip contacting the threshold — is the most common leak point. These seals compress, harden, crack, and shrink from constant exposure. We replace bottom seals with quality replacements matched to your door's profile and glass thickness.
Side Seal and Jamb Seal Gaps: Side seals that shrink, pull away, or lose adhesion create full-height leak paths. Gaps as small as a sixteenth of an inch allow significant water escape. We replace side and jamb seals to restore continuous waterproof contact.
Drip Rail Repair and Replacement: The drip rail along the bottom outside edge redirects water running down the glass face back into the shower. A missing or non-functional drip rail allows water to drip onto the bathroom floor. We repair and replace drip rails to restore this critical function.
Panel Misalignment Correction: A door that does not close flush creates a gap that allows water to escape. Misalignment from sagging hinges, shifted clamps, or worn rollers is corrected to close the gap and restore the seal.
Threshold and Curb Seal Restoration: The seal between the door frame and threshold must be watertight. When caulk cracks or separates, water finds its way through. We remove deteriorated caulk and reapply quality mold-resistant silicone sealant.
Click here to Call (888) 670-9331Roller Replacement: Sliding shower door rollers wear from use, corrode from moisture, and clog with mineral deposits. We replace worn rollers with quality units matched to your door's track profile and panel weight.
Track Cleaning, Repair, and Replacement: Tracks accumulate mineral deposits, soap scum, and mold that impede roller movement. We deep-clean tracks, repair corroded sections, and replace when deterioration is beyond restoration.
Guide and Bumper Restoration: Floor guides and bumper stops keep panels aligned and prevent over-travel. We replace guides and bumpers to restore controlled movement.
Panel Height Adjustment: Panels at incorrect heights create gaps in the seal system. We adjust roller height and panel position for correct alignment and sealing.
Hinge Adjustment and Replacement: Frameless hinges bear the full weight of heavy glass and must hold precise alignment. We adjust when hardware is serviceable and replace when wear exceeds adjustment range.
Glass-to-Glass and Glass-to-Wall Clamps: Clamps connecting glass panels to each other and to walls must hold securely without over-compressing. We tighten, adjust, and replace clamps to maintain safe connections.
Support Clips and Brackets: Clips, brackets, and channels holding fixed panels and stabilizing door panels require periodic tightening and occasional replacement.
Sagging and Misalignment Correction: Frameless door sagging is progressive — the heavy glass gradually pulls hardware out of alignment. We correct through hinge adjustment, replacement, or relocation depending on severity and mounting surface condition.
Pivot Pin and Hinge Pin Replacement: Pivot pins wear, corrode, and lose smooth rotation. We replace pins to restore controlled door movement.
Swing Adjustment and Realignment: A pivot door that scrapes, binds, or does not return to closed position needs alignment correction. We adjust the pivot mechanism to restore proper swing and resting position.
Spring Hinge Tension Adjustment: Self-closing doors use spring-loaded hinges. When the spring weakens, the door does not close fully. We repair and adjust spring hinges to restore self-closing function.
Chipped and Cracked Tempered Glass: Small chips should be evaluated for crack propagation risk. Cracks can propagate suddenly, causing the panel to shatter. We assess damage and recommend monitoring, repair, or replacement based on type, location, and severity.
Shattered Panel Replacement: When tempered glass shatters, the panel must be replaced. We measure, specify, and install replacement panels matched to the enclosure's dimensions and hardware.
Hard Water Etching Beyond Cleaning: Years of mineral exposure can etch the glass surface permanently. When etching creates irreversible cloudiness, panel replacement is the only restoration option.
Low-Iron Ultra-Clear Glass Upgrade: Standard glass has a slight green tint. Low-iron glass eliminates this tint, producing crystal-clear panels that showcase tile work and enhance brightness. We offer low-iron upgrades when replacing shower glass.
Handles and towel bars loosen, corrode, and break from constant wet-handed use. We repair and replace with quality hardware matched to your enclosure's style and mounting configuration.
We carry comprehensive inventory of seals, sweeps, and weatherstrips in profiles and thicknesses for all major shower door types. Complete seal replacement is one of the most effective and affordable shower door repairs available.
Caulk joints between the frame, wall, threshold, and glass are critical waterproofing barriers. We remove old caulk completely and reapply quality mold-resistant silicone to restore watertight joints throughout the enclosure.
Metal frames corrode, pit, and discolor in the shower environment. We treat corroded sections, repair damage, and refinish to restore appearance and protective coating.
What Happens Under the Floor When Water Escapes Daily: A leaking shower door deposits water on the bathroom floor during every shower. Some is mopped up. Some evaporates. The most damaging portion seeps under the baseboard, through grout, and into the subfloor where it accumulates in materials never designed to be wet.
Mold Behind Walls and Under Flooring: Persistent moisture creates ideal conditions for mold in concealed locations — behind baseboards, under flooring, inside wall cavities. Concealed mold is invisible until it produces odor, staining, or health symptoms. Remediation is expensive and disruptive.
Subfloor Rot and Structural Damage: Wood subfloor and joists exposed to persistent moisture deteriorate — softening, rotting, losing structural integrity. Spongy spots and warping around the shower perimeter indicate subfloor damage. Structural repair is one of the most expensive bathroom repairs.
New seals: $50 to $150. Professional installation: $100 to $200. Total to stop the leak: $150 to $350. Subfloor repair from months of water intrusion: $2,000 to $5,000 including flooring removal, subfloor repair, mold remediation, and new flooring. Fix the seal now, or fix the floor later.
We assess shower door problems with the water running. We observe where water goes under actual conditions, identify every escape point, and watch how the door operates under real use. A dry inspection misses leak paths that only appear under pressure and splash.
We catalog every issue — not just the obvious leak, but every compromised seal, alignment problem, and hardware issue. Comprehensive identification ensures comprehensive repair.
We present findings and the recommended plan with clear pricing. If options exist — seal replacement alone vs. seals plus hinge adjustment, standard glass vs. low-iron upgrade — we explain differences. You approve before we start.
We execute with materials appropriate for the shower environment — mold-resistant silicone, quality seals, corrosion-resistant hardware, properly tempered glass.
After repair, we run the shower at full pressure for several minutes and inspect every seal, joint, and potential leak path. If any water escapes, we identify the remaining path and address it before we leave.
We clean all debris, old caulk, and work materials. We leave the bathroom clean, dry, and ready to use.
Hotels, Resorts, and Hospitality: Guest bathroom shower doors must operate flawlessly for satisfaction and reviews. We provide the quality and responsiveness hospitality requires.
Gyms, Fitness Centers, and Spas: High-traffic shower facilities subject doors to extreme use frequency. We repair with components rated for heavy-use environments.
Assisted Living and Healthcare: Shower doors must meet safety and accessibility standards. We service with appropriate attention to safety requirements.
Short-Term Rentals (Airbnb, VRBO): A malfunctioning shower door generates negative reviews faster than almost any other issue. We provide responsive repair that protects your property's rating.
What Determines the Cost: Cost depends on door type, specific problems, parts required, and work complexity. Seal replacement is at the lower end. Hardware repair and glass replacement are at the higher end.
| Service Category | Cost Range |
|---|---|
| Seal, sweep, and weatherstrip replacement | $100 to $300 |
| Roller and track repair for sliding doors | $100 to $250 |
| Hinge repair and adjustment for frameless and pivot doors | $100 to $300 |
| Handle and hardware replacement | $75 to $200 |
| Caulking and waterproofing restoration | $100 to $250 |
| Glass panel replacement | $200 to $600 |
| Comprehensive multi-component repair | $250 to $600 |
Repair is right when glass is intact, the frame or mounting system is sound, and problems are limited to wearable components. Full replacement is warranted when glass is damaged, the frame is severely corroded, the style is outdated and the homeowner wants to upgrade, or total repair cost approaches new enclosure cost.
The Real Cost — Repair Now vs. Water Damage Later: Shower door repair — typically $100 to $600 — is a fraction of water damage repair from months of leaking. Seal replacement, hinge adjustment, and caulk restoration are small investments that protect against large losses.
