How Much Does Shower Door Installation Cost?

Shower door installation costs $400–$2,800 depending on type and size. Framed sliding doors run $400–$1,200. Semi-frameless pivot doors run $600–$1,600. Frameless glass enclosures run $800–$2,800. Custom configurations (neo-angle, curved) add 20–40% to these prices.

The door itself is 40–60% of the total cost. Installation labor runs $200–$500 for framed doors (pre-fab, 2–3 hours) and $400–$800 for frameless (custom measurement, drilling into tile, 4–6 hours). Frameless doors require precise measurements—walls must be plumb or shims add cost.

ROI insight: Frameless glass shower enclosures are one of the highest-ROI upgrades in a bathroom remodel. They make the space feel larger, modernize the aesthetic, and are a buyer expectation in homes above $400K.

Frequently Asked

Common questions.

How much does shower door installation cost?
Shower door installation costs $400–$2,800 total including door and labor. Framed: $400–$1,200. Semi-frameless: $600–$1,600. Frameless: $800–$2,800. Installation labor adds $200–$800 depending on type.
Is frameless glass worth the extra cost?
Yes, for most remodels. Frameless glass costs $400–$1,600 more than framed but lasts 15–20 years, eliminates the metal frame that collects mildew, and delivers the highest resale ROI of any shower upgrade. The visual impact alone transforms the bathroom.
Can I install a shower door myself?
Framed sliding doors are DIY-friendly ($200–$500 savings). Frameless doors require professional installation—the glass is heavy (60–100 lbs), must be perfectly level, and requires precision drilling into tile. Improper frameless installation causes leaks and can shatter the glass.
