“This shower door never shuts properly.” 

“Why does this shower always look foggy?”

“Does my shower glass look dated?”

“I need a new shower door.”

If any of these thoughts sound familiar, it might be time for a shower glass replacement or upgrade. Whether it’s a door that runs off the track, a shower curtain that lets water onto the floor or soap scum buildup that never seems to go away, it can all get pretty frustrating. If you’re ready to replace your existing shower or upgrade to a custom glass enclosure, we can help. 

At United Plate Glass, we help homeowners upgrade their bathrooms with custom shower glass every day. We use high-quality, durable and beautiful material to make a shower glass enclosure designed specifically for your space.

Here’s what you can expect when you decide to work with us.

Call or make a request via our website to set up a consultation.

Our shower glass expert will come out to your property and take a look at what you want to replace and/or upgrade. Because every shower is different, seeing the space in person allows us to provide a quote that is specific to your project and as accurate as possible. We take precise measurements, and we discuss your options so the project aligns with your vision and your budget. 

Choose materials and style.

This is a fun step! We will talk about frameless vs. framed shower enclosures, glass thickness and styles, hardware types and finishes, coatings such as ClearShield® and all the special touches available so your bathroom is functional, beautiful and designed around your style. 

Keep mold and water spots at bay, save space, add natural light, and get ready in a room that feels like your very own spa. Because every enclosure is custom, your shower glass is designed specifically for your space rather than being pulled from a one-size-fits-all solution. 

Get a quote and review payment options. 

Once we’ve discussed your project and options, we’ll provide a detailed quote and review available payment options. We know this is an investment, no matter what project you undertake. We offer monthly payment options through Hearth, so you can spread out those payments in a way that suits you.

Fill out a quick form, get a soft credit check (won’t affect your credit score), compare your options, get approval and enjoy a manageable monthly payment.

Prep your space and get on the schedule.

Once everything is finalized, we’ll order the necessary materials and keep you informed about your anticipated installation timeline. Lead times vary depending on the project, and we will always keep you informed. If you’re having a full bathroom remodel, we’re happy to work with your contractor directly on timing.

Before install day, it’s helpful to clear anything that might be in and around the work area. 

Install Day!

Most shower glass enclosures are installed in a single day. While our team is in your home, we will treat it like our own. We clean up any mess from install. If anything surprising comes up during installation, you will know right away and we can talk through solutions. 

We’ll also make sure your shower door swings, slides or seals properly before we leave. 

Peace of Mind and the UPG Guarantee

Every project we do is documented from start to finish. You will know that the work was done correctly and have the comfort of knowing that if anything was installed incorrectly, it will be addressed in a timely fashion.

We’ll also walk you through your finished project and explain how to properly clean and maintain your new shower glass. We highly recommend upgrading to ClearShield® to protect your glass and save time with less needed cleaning. ClearShield® ensures that your glass stays clean, clear and hygienic.

At UPG, we believe style and functionality are equally important, along with stellar customer service. Reach out today if you have a project that’s been on your mind and you’re ready to get started.
