Shower Door Repair Calgary
“Tired of poor service? Give us a try!”
Around the Clock Glass repairs shower doors across Calgary: sagging and dragging doors, worn sliding rollers, failed hinges, split seals and sweeps, loose handles, and cracked or shattered glass panels. Most repairs are diagnosed and fixed on site. Broken shower glass is handled 24/7, because a shattered panel leaves the enclosure wide open.
Shower Door Problems We Fix in Calgary
Frameless, semi-frameless, framed, sliding, and pivot doors. Most shower door faults come down to hardware rather than the glass, which means a repair is usually far cheaper than a new enclosure. We diagnose on site and tell you honestly when a repair is not worth doing.
Sagging and Dragging Doors
A frameless door that drops at the latch edge and scrapes the tile is almost always undersized or worn hinges letting the glass settle. We reset the hinge geometry or replace the hinges with hardware rated for the weight of your glass, then re-level the door so it swings clean.
Sliding Door Rollers and Tracks
Sliding shower doors jump, stick, or come off the track when the rollers wear flat or the top track fills with hard water scale and grit. We replace rollers and guides, clean and true the track, and adjust the door so both panels bypass smoothly again.
Broken Hinges, Clamps and Pivots
Glass clamps loosen, pivot pins wear, and hinge springs fail. Left alone, a failing hinge puts point pressure on the glass, which is how a panel ends up shattering. We replace the hardware and re-torque everything to the correct spec on tempered glass.
Leaking Seals and Sweeps
Water escaping onto the bathroom floor usually means the vinyl sweep along the bottom of the door has hardened and split, or the magnetic strip on the latch edge no longer meets the jamb. Both are inexpensive parts and a quick fix once the profile is matched correctly.
Loose Handles and Towel Bars
Through-glass handles and towel bars work loose over time. We refit them with the correct gaskets and washers so the fastener bears on rubber and not directly on glass, which is what causes chips and cracks at the hole.
Cracked and Shattered Glass Panels
Tempered glass breaks into small blunt pieces rather than shards, so the injury risk is low, but the shower is open until the panel is replaced. Call any hour. We clear the glass, measure the opening, and fabricate a replacement panel to fit your existing hardware wherever that hardware is still sound.
What Is Wrong With Your Shower Door?
Most shower door faults have a small number of likely causes. Here is what each symptom usually points to, so you know roughly what you are dealing with before we arrive.
- Most often worn hinges or loose glass clamps letting the door settle out of square
- On sliders, a flat-spotted roller or debris packed into the top track
- Check whether the gap is even top to bottom, that tells us where the fault is
- Usually corrected by replacing hardware and re-levelling, not by replacing glass
- A hardened or split bottom sweep is the single most common cause
- Magnetic latch strips lose their grip and stop sealing against the jamb
- Failed silicone along the wall channel lets water track behind the panel
- All three are low-cost parts and a same-visit repair in most cases
- Frameless doors settle when hinges are undersized for the glass weight
- Dragging on tile will chip the glass edge, so it is worth fixing early
- We reset hinge geometry or fit hardware rated for your panel weight
- Then re-level the door so it holds its position instead of drifting
- Tempered glass fractures into small blunt pieces, not sharp shards
- The enclosure is open until the panel is replaced, so call 24/7
- We clear the glass safely and measure the opening the same visit
- A replacement panel is fabricated to fit your existing hardware where possible

Shower Door Repair Questions, Answered
Most shower door faults are hardware, not glass, and hardware is repairable. Worn rollers, failed hinges, split sweeps, loose handles, and dead magnetic seals are all replaceable parts, and a repair costs a fraction of a new enclosure. Replacement is the right call when the glass itself is cracked, when the frame has corroded through, or when the hardware pattern cannot be matched at all.
It depends on the part. A bottom sweep or a magnetic seal is at the low end. Sliding rollers and guides sit in the middle. Frameless hinges and a replacement tempered glass panel are the most expensive, because the hardware is heavier duty and the glass is fabricated to your measurements. We diagnose on site and quote before any work starts, so you approve the price first.
In most cases the vinyl sweep along the bottom of the door has hardened and split, so water runs under the door instead of being directed back into the tray. The other common causes are a magnetic latch strip that no longer grips the jamb, and failed silicone along the wall channel letting water track behind the panel. All three are inexpensive parts and usually a same-visit repair.
A frameless door that scrapes at the latch edge has settled, which almost always means the hinges are worn or were undersized for the weight of the glass. It is worth fixing early: a dragging door chips the glass edge, and a chipped edge on tempered glass is where a shatter starts. We reset the hinge geometry or fit hardware rated for your panel weight, then re-level the door.
In many cases, yes. If your frame and hardware are in good condition, we measure the opening and fabricate a replacement tempered panel to fit the existing holes and hardware. This costs significantly less than a full enclosure replacement. Full replacement is only necessary when the hardware is discontinued and unmatchable, or the frame itself has failed.
Keep people and pets out of the bathroom and call (403) 205-2604. Tempered glass breaks into small blunt pieces rather than sharp shards, so the injury risk is low, but the enclosure is open and there is glass across the floor. We answer 24/7, clear the glass, secure the space, and measure for a replacement panel on the same visit.
For emergency calls received between 5 PM and 9 AM, including weekends, our team is on site within 90 minutes. During regular business hours we provide same-day service whenever possible. Non-urgent repairs are booked to suit you.
Yes. Most of the shower doors we repair were installed by somebody else, often years ago. We work on framed, semi-frameless, and frameless systems from any manufacturer, including enclosures whose original hardware has been discontinued, where we match the profile and hole pattern instead.
