Is this the right service for your job?
Choose this for a loose, broken or corroded shower door handle.
- If the handle is on an office or entrance glass door, see the Glass Door Handle Replacement. It covers pull bars, knobs and other glass door handle patterns.
- If the handle feels hard to pull because the door sticks, see the Shower Cubicle & Glass Door Repair. The movement needs checking before a sound handle is replaced.
What goes wrong with bathroom handles
The plating fails first. Steam and hard water eat through thin chrome, the surface pits, and rust starts where your hand lands. A rusting handle marks towels and hands, and the rust spreads.
The fixings loosen next. A handle is tightened through holes in the glass, with rubber washers between. Years of wet and dry flatten the washers, the handle rocks, and every pull works it looser.
Snapping comes last. A knob or thin handle, rusted at its stem, can break on an ordinary morning. The door is then left with nothing to pull it open by.
When the handle starts to rock, the repair is a small planned job. That is the time to call.
Knobs, bars and back-to-back handles
A knob is the smallest option, a single point to pull, common on lighter doors. A bar handle gives a full grip. It suits heavier doors and older users, because a bar can be held with the whole hand, wet or dry.
Most shower handles are back-to-back: one piece outside, one inside, bolted to each other through the glass. Both halves come as a set, so a broken inside half means changing the set.
Whatever the shape, the material matters most in a bathroom. We fit stainless steel, not chromed mild steel. It costs slightly more, and it does not rust through the way chromed steel does.
The one-hour visit
The old handle comes off. On a rusted one, that sometimes means cutting the bolt rather than unscrewing it. We protect the glass while we do it.
We clean old washer residue and scale out of the holes. The new handle goes on with fresh rubber washers on both sides of the glass. We tighten it snug and no further, because over-tightening a handle through glass can crack the hole.
The door stays on its hinges the whole time. There is no drilling, because the holes already exist. If no silicone was needed, you can shower the same evening.
Cost, finishes and what we check while we are there
A stainless handle or knob, fitted, starts at ₹935. Larger bars and designer shapes cost more. They are priced as the part plus the same fitting.
Chrome-finish stainless is the standard. Matte black and brushed finishes may need ordering. They are worth it when the mixer and shower set are black too.
While we are there, we check the hinges and the seal strip at no extra charge. A rocking handle and a sagging door often come together. If something else is failing, we tell you the price, and you decide.
