In many bathrooms today, you will find glass shower doors. This replaces the shower curtains that used to be so popular. The glass shower doors add a certain amount of elegance to almost any bathroom. But like anything else in your home, sometimes it needs repairs. This may seem strange since you only open and close it to get in the shower, but accidents and wear and tear can happen. Found below are the most common and typical shower glass door repairs that are found today.

€Rusted Metal Tracks: This problem applies to the bypass doors that are most often used today. Bypass glass doors are the doors that slide on a track to open and close the shower. A big problem noticed with this particular type of door, is that water and other debris gather in the tracks at the bottom of the shower. These water and debris can cause rust, mold and mildew to form in and around your shower. If this is not taken care of, you may have to end up replacing the entire track system, which can be costly. While there is no good way to prevent water from getting into the tracks, make sure that you clean the water and debris out from it regularly, to prevent any major repairs.

€Rusted Hinges: This problem applies to those who have a glass shower door that swings open, rather than slides. People often buy a glass door with hinges so that they do not have to deal with the water in the tracks like the bypass doors.

If you notice rusted and squeaky hinges, make sure you repair them right away. If you do not, if may cause the door to give out and the glass to shatter.
