Cost for Frameless Glass Shower Enclosure - Glass, Clips & Install

7 months ago

I'm looking at quotes for a frameless glass enclosure for a corner shower. The quotes include glass, protective coating (shower guard), clips, hinges, and installation. The shower bay looks like the following:

The following is a rough drawing of the shower dimensions, angles, and glass thickness I'm looking for. Naturally, the glazier we hire will template and select clams. The following is a rough sketch for discussion sake.

What sort of price range do folks think this job is in e.g., $2k to $3k, $3k to $4k, etc.? I hate looking at quotes without knowing the going price for things like glass and installation.

Where do you live? Quotes are going vary hugely depending on where you live and you might get a wide variety of prices quoted depending on how skilled the person is. (My parents got quotes recently for painting their home that varied by $15 k.) This is why you need to get a minimum of three quotes.

I used to get high quotes for everything at my former address because people thought of it as a "fancy" stress and parking was a pain in the ass. I'd anticipate more than $4k for the shower glass but I live in NYC. Anyone on here to tells you what they paid should also let you know where they live.

Fabulous tile and wood combo by the way.

I paid $2,500.00 over a decade ago for something similar.

I'm in a high cost area of CA and last year I paid $1,200 for 36 x 70, 3/8 starphire glass. Your price might not be that out of line for the very expensive Maui market. Can you get a bid from another shop?

Frameless shower glass enclosure question

I looked at my shower, I also have a pony wall but the capping is pretty much flush with the side wall, and the glass is to the edge. I dont have a door on there yet ( hardware not delivered ) but I think mine will have a minimal gap.My shower is large so I dont have water splashing out where the door should be. Your ponywall looks to block water from the door. The only other advice ill give to you for your beautiful huge glass shower is 303 Graphine coating. Its a ceramic coat that will keep that glass looking beautiful. Many people use rainex (i have) but this coating can last up to a year (they claim). Certainly longer than other products.

This is a local, simple question. Call the glass company that is furnishing and installing your enclosure. What their tempering plant charges might be different than the tempering plant in another region.

Best way to install a frameless glass shower door on a non-plumb wall?
Q
Comments (6)
Thanks--our challenge is that the plumb wall (which is new) is only a 42" high pony wall. But we could possibly have one hinge in that wall and the other on the glass panel that will be installed on top of the wall. The last crazy plan I came up with is to go with a custom shower curtain rod instead. (This shower was originally supposed to have a full wall to create an alcove with a shower curtain, but due to a lot of shifts as we went through the project to accommodate old house quirks, we switched to a pony wall with a glass enclosure to allow light into the shower enclosure.) If we attach it to a fixed panel on the non-plumb side, it would definitely be a short one. The shower is 42" long and the door was to be 27" so there is room to do that. (Leaving aside the part where we prefer the door hang from the wall than from a fixed panel, it has some benefits--there could be a towel hook behind the door, for instance.)

@kendrah greater Philadelphia area, and thank you for the compliment!

@HU-187528210, that seems to be what I'm getting. I'm looking at one for 4.2k at the moment.

@joseph-corlett-llc, thank you.

I lived in Philly and quotes varied widely based on contactor perception of neighborhood and how frequently they did work nearby. Oddly, contactors told me they often charged less for homes on the Mainline. As important as price is quality. I’m no fan of Nextdoor, but I bet you could get good recommendations for specific contractors on there from whom to ask for quotes.

We just completed a primary bath renovation with a shower slightly larger, but similar in configuration to yours. We are in northern NJ (commuting distance to NYC). Quotes ranged from $5-6K for 1/2” Starphire ultra clear glass with Clarvista coating (tallest panel/shower door 86 3/8” high), mitered 90 degree corner and polished nickel hardware.

I was going to say $4,700, you have 62 sq ft @ $75 per sq ft.

@elunia Do you mind sharing which company you used? I'm also in NJ (just finished tiling a slightly different configuration) and have gotten quotes (in Central Jersey) from $10k-$15k.
