Repair vs. Replace — The Honest Breakdown
Most shower door problems fall clearly on one side. Here's how we call it:
When a Repair Makes Sense
Worn door sweep or drip rail (minor leak)
Loose or squeaky hinge on newer doors
Handle or knob needs tightening or replacing
Roller adjustment on a recent sliding door
When Replacement Is the Smarter Spend
Cracked, chipped, or shattered glass — tempered glass cannot be patched
Corroded or pitted frames on older framed units
Persistent leaks after seal replacements
Sliding door repeatedly jumping the track
Cloudy, permanently hard-water-etched glass
Outdated framed look you want gone anyway
The math is simple: repairs on old framed doors stack up fast — a seal here, a roller there — while the corrosion and leaks keep coming back. A new enclosure fixes every problem at once, carries a lifetime hardware warranty, and upgrades the look of the whole bathroom.
