Quick answers

Why does my shower door leak at the bottom?

Most bottom leaks come from a worn or missing door sweep, a clogged weep hole in the track, or failed caulk where the frame meets the tub. Replacing the sweep and clearing the track fixes most of them; the frame should be caulked on the outside only.

Why is my sliding shower door hard to open?

A sticking slider usually has worn or broken rollers or a track packed with soap scum and mineral deposits. Cleaning the track and replacing the rollers typically restores a smooth slide.

Can a cracked shower door glass be repaired?

No, cracked shower door glass should be replaced, not patched. Federal safety glazing rules cover shower and tub doors to reduce the risk of serious injury when glazing is broken by human contact, so the replacement panel must be proper safety glass.

What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site

Replaces worn sweeps, drip rails, seals and bumpers that let water escape
Adjusts or replaces rollers, guides and hinges on sticking sliding or swinging doors
Recaulks the frame to the tub or tile and clears blocked weep holes

How it works

Run water to find where the door leaks, and check rollers, hinges and seals
Order matching sweeps, seals or rollers for the door model
Install the parts, realign the door and recaulk the outside of the frame
Referred out: a cracked or broken glass panel goes to a glass company for safety-glazing replacement

When to stop and call

If the glass is chipped, cracked or the door is hanging from one hinge, stop using the shower and keep people clear. 24/7 Express Handyman Service can secure the door until the glass company replaces the panel.

The written scope and price come first; replacement parts are matched to the door model before the second visit.
Photograph the damage before anything is moved and keep every receipt; 24/7 Express Handyman Service provides an itemised invoice your insurer may ask for. The dispatch fee and job cost are paid by you on the day.
