Contain Water and Modernize Your Bathroom

Glass shower door installation and replacement services for homeowners in Rockville and throughout the DMV region.

Your shower curtain may be doing its job, but it is also clinging to your leg, collecting mildew along the liner, and making your bathroom look outdated. If you are planning a bathroom update in your home, replacing that curtain with a glass shower door changes how the space feels and functions. You gain better water control, easier cleaning, and a more open appearance that works with tile, fixtures, and lighting instead of covering them up.


Potomac Glass Repair installs and replaces glass shower doors for standard and custom shower openings. We measure your existing shower or tub surround, recommend door styles that fit the layout, and handle the full installation. Whether you have a corner shower, alcove tub, or walk-in configuration, we work with the space you have and ensure the door seals correctly to prevent water from reaching your floor.


If you are ready to move forward with a glass shower door in your Rockville or DMV area bathroom, contact Potomac Glass Repair to schedule a consultation.

How Installation Changes Your Daily Routine

We start by confirming the measurements of your shower opening and checking that the walls are level and properly sealed. In homes in Rockville,  Silver Spring, McLean and surrounding areas, especially older townhomes and split-levels, we occasionally find that tile work or wall alignment needs minor correction before the door can be installed. If that is the case, we let you know up front so there are no surprises.


Once the door is in place, you will notice that water stays inside the shower instead of pooling on the floor or soaking the bath mat. The glass is easy to wipe down after each use, and because it does not trap moisture the way fabric does, mildew and soap scum are easier to manage. The bathroom also feels larger because the glass does not break up the sightline the way an opaque curtain does.


We use tempered safety glass for all shower door installations, and we secure the door with corrosion-resistant hardware designed for high-humidity environments. This service does not include plumbing work, tile replacement, or structural changes to the shower itself. If your shower pan or walls need repair, those should be addressed before we install the door to ensure a proper seal and long-term performance.

Homeowners in the DMV area often ask about door styles, glass thickness, and whether their current shower layout will work with a glass door. Here are answers to the questions we hear most often.

Let Us Clear Up What You Are Wondering

What types of glass shower doors are available?
You can choose from framed, semi-frameless, and frameless designs. Framed doors use metal around the edges for structure, while frameless doors rely on thicker glass and minimal hardware for a cleaner look.
How thick is the glass used in shower doors?
Most framed shower doors use quarter-inch tempered glass, while frameless doors typically use three-eighths-inch or half-inch glass for stability. We recommend thickness based on your door size and layout.
Will a glass shower door work in my older Rockville home?
Yes, as long as the shower walls are structurally sound and the opening is square. We measure carefully and adjust for minor inconsistencies, which are common in homes built before the 1990s.
How do I keep the glass clean after installation?
Wipe the glass down with a squeegee after each shower to prevent water spots and soap buildup. A weekly cleaning with a non-abrasive glass cleaner keeps the surface clear and reduces long-term staining.
What if my shower opening is not a standard size?
We handle custom-fit installations for non-standard openings. After measuring, we order glass cut to your exact dimensions and install hardware that accommodates the layout you have.
