Renewing your shower door is a budget-friendly alternative to a complete bathroom overhaul. However, the affordability of your shower door installation can still be influenced by various factors. Generally, the primary expenses revolve around labor and the actual door cost, but additional material costs come into play.

Dimensions

The size of your shower door directly impacts the overall expense. Custom sizes typically incur higher costs compared to standard sizes. While most shower doors fall within the width range of 22 to 36 inches and a height of 72 inches, sliding doors may have wider dimensions.

If your door surpasses 36 inches, you might require an extra support panel, leading to increased costs.

Door Size	Average Cost Range
24” x 72”	$400 – $2,500
30” x 72”	$450 – $2,650
36” x 72”	$480 – $2,750
48” x 72”	$600 – $2,850
60” x 72”	$650 – $3,150
48” x 76”	$650 – $3,000
60” x 76”	$780 – $3,300

Door Type

The choice of your shower door can significantly impact your budget. A basic shower screen might only set you back $70, while a frameless shower door could reach up to $3,300. Generally, curved, neo-angle, or custom doors come with a higher price tag, whereas shower screens and framed doors are more budget-friendly.

Glass Type

The cost of shower glass typically falls between $50 and $150 per square foot, depending on thickness. However, the type of glass also plays a role in the overall price. Various glass options, from clear to frosted, tempered, rain, or hammered glass, offer different aesthetics and privacy levels. Clear glass is the most economical, while upgrades like rain glass can add $125 to $200 to the cost.

Materials

The type of door may require additional materials, dictated by the framing. Hinges, tracks, door rollers, or brackets may be necessary depending on the door’s operation. Hardware packs generally range from $75 to $250.

Hinges

A set of glass door hinges typically costs between $80 and $85, primarily used for hinge doors that swing open at a 90-degree angle.

Tracks

Track kits, including top and bottom tracks, jambs, and door rollers, can cost between $135 and $380. Basic plastic tracks are more affordable at $15 to $25, but additional rollers may be needed for sliding framed doors.

Mounting Clips

For attaching fixed glass panels in frameless showers, mounting clips are priced between $60 and $80 for a set of three. They maintain the frameless appearance while providing support.

Sealant Sealant

Crucial for preventing water leaks, it ranges from $10 to $35, depending on your shower design.

Door Roller and Brackets

Hardware sets for frameless doors with top-hung sliders typically cost $5 to $20 each.

Labor Professional

Installation adds a significant cost, averaging between $500 and $1,000. For instance, installing a frameless shower door might cost around $1,000, while a sliding shower door installation ranges from $200 to $400. Installers charge approximately $60 per hour, factoring in additional fees for special materials or tools, with most installations taking two to four hours.
