A lot of the glass here went in with the house. Whole villa projects were handed over with the same enclosure, the same hinges and the same seals, all fitted in the same year. So when the fittings wear out, they wear out across the whole project, not one house at a time.
Why your neighbour has the same fault
Builder-fitted enclosures use whatever part was chosen for the whole project. And every one of them has been opened about the same number of times.
So the seals harden together, and the rollers wear flat together. If your shower door has started dragging, the same door in the next house is probably a month behind yours.
That is useful. Where several houses in a block need the same part, we can do them all in one trip. Ask your neighbours before you call. It usually means a faster date for everyone.
What we can and cannot match
Hinges, rollers, seals and handles are common types, and we normally match them exactly.
Where the original part is no longer made, we fit a current one rated for the same glass thickness and door weight. It will not always look the same. We tell you that before we fit it, not after.
What we do not do is patch a chipped panel. Damage to the edge of toughened glass (safety glass) takes away the strength that toughening gave it. So that panel gets replaced.
How the job works
- Tell us about the jobSend a few photos, rough sizes and what you need. Use WhatsApp or the form. For a repair, a short video of the door moving helps a lot.
- We call you backUsually the same day. Where we can, we give you a rough price on the call. Then you know if a visit is worth your time.
- We come and measureWe measure the opening. We also check the walls, floor, ceiling and the way in. Your glass is made to these final sizes, so they must be right.
- You get a written priceIt shows the glass, the fittings and the fitting work as separate lines. If anything about the job changes, we tell you before we go ahead.
- We make it and fit itYou approve the price and pay the advance. Then we make your glass. Our team delivers it, fits it, checks the doors line up and clears the site.
