hi. we have a 1950's shower door
that we need to replace.

Most standard shower doors come in 32" wide, but ours is 23.5" wide!

Geez! And looking at some custom shower door companies, they will make it for $167.50..

Is it worth it?

2. I took my old glass doors out and replaced them with nice cloth (as opposed to plastic)
shower curtains. I hated those doors functionally and aesthetically.


I was surprised how easy it was to remove. Just a few screws and a little cleanup where the caulking was laid down as I recall.

3. Price this out at Home Depot

We used one of these and we're very happy with it. OUrs has a different glass in it, but it is essentially the same door. They're an easy homeowner installation and are adjustable for width. This one, I am almost certain, will fit your opening.

I seem to recall that we paid more than the quote you got for a custom jobbie.
