Removing frameless shower doors is similar to removing framed doors. These doors are held to the wall using brackets or clips. You’ll need to remove any caulking with a utility knife, just like with framed doors. Find the brackets or clips. If you don’t see them, they may be under decorative caps. Remove the caps and the screws holding the door in place while another person stabilizes the door. Carefully remove the door, scrape away any remaining caulk, and clean the wall.

Fixing a shower door can keep everything running smoothly, but it’s possible it’s time for a replacement. Framed shower doors last 15 to 20 years, while frameless options last 20 to 30 years. Over time, the hardware and parts of the door can deteriorate, especially if you’re in an area with hard water. If your door is older and you’re frequently making repairs or adjustments, consider installing a new shower door.

In many cases, a shower is a safer option than a tub and causes fewer slip-and-fall accidents. If safety is a concern, making your home safer is always worth it. However, the cost of a tub-to-shower conversion can be a deterrent to some people, as the average price is between $1,200 and $8,000.

A roll-in shower is a popular bathroom remodel for seniors that includes a large, open space that's larger than your standard shower, a smooth, beveled slope no higher than half an inch to allow wheelchairs to enter, shower handrails to assist with support, anti-slip coating, and a shower bench for sitting. Some roll-in showers have other features like shelving, storage, and hand shower arm extensions or slide mounts.
