Shower Door Installation in San Diego.
Frameless and semi-frameless shower door installation across San Diego — custom measured, tempered glass, professional install.
Licensed & insured glass experts serving San Diego County
San Diego Window Repairs measures, supplies, and installs frameless and semi-frameless shower doors across San Diego County. We work with tempered glass in 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch thickness, handle the hinge and track layout for your exact opening, and seal it so water stays in the shower and off your bathroom floor. Free in-home measurement, written estimate, professional install.
Frameless, semi-frameless, and sliding enclosures
Frameless doors use 3/8-inch or 1/2-inch tempered glass with minimal hardware — the cleanest look and the easiest to squeegee. Semi-frameless adds a metal frame on the stationary panel for lower cost. Sliding and bypass enclosures suit tubs and narrow bathrooms where a swinging door will not clear the vanity. We measure your opening, check for wall plumb and tile thickness, and tell you plainly which type fits your bathroom.
Why San Diego bathrooms need specific glass
Coastal humidity and salt air attack cheap hinges and mild-steel screws within a couple of years — especially in La Jolla, Pacific Beach, Ocean Beach, and Coronado where marine air is constant. We use stainless or brass hardware and tempered glass rated for the heat. Inland homes in El Cajon, Santee, and Escondido see wider temperature swings, so we leave proper expansion clearance in the track rather than wedging glass tight.
What the installation involves
We template the opening to the millimeter, verify stud placement behind the tile, and set anchors that will actually hold glass weight. Glass is set with proper clearances, sealed with mildew-resistant silicone, and tested for swing, stop, and drip. Door sweeps and bottom seals are fitted so water channels back into the shower instead of pooling on the curb. Most single-door installs are done in two to three hours, and we haul away all packaging and old glass.
Custom sizing and older San Diego homes
Bathrooms in 1920s–1960s homes — common in North Park, Hillcrest, Normal Heights, and Clairemont — rarely have square openings. Walls are out of plumb, tile thickness varies, and curbs are not level. We cut glass to the real opening rather than forcing a stock size, and we tell you up front if the curb or surround needs correcting before glass goes in. That is the difference between a door that swings clean for fifteen years and one that leaks in six months.

Frequently asked questions
Do you install frameless shower doors in San Diego?
Yes. Frameless, semi-frameless, pivot, hinged, and sliding bypass enclosures in 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch tempered glass, custom cut to your opening.
Do you measure before ordering?
Always. We template the actual opening in your bathroom. Stock doors ordered from a big-box store assume a square opening, and most San Diego bathrooms are not square.
How long does installation take?
A single frameless door is typically two to three hours. A full enclosure with a stationary panel and return takes three to four hours.
Is the glass tempered and safe?
Yes. All shower glass we install is tempered safety glass, which is required by code in shower enclosures, and we use hardware rated for wet environments.
Do you remove the old shower door?
Yes. We remove and haul away the old door, frame, and packaging as part of the install.
Will my tile or wall need repair?
Usually not. If anchors reveal damaged backer or loose tile, we show you before drilling further and quote any repair separately.
