About Shower Screen Replacement
Replacing a framed shower screen with a frameless one is one of the highest-impact visual changes you can make in an Adelaide bathroom for under $4,000. The room feels larger, cleaner, and more modern.
Our network glaziers measure on site to 1mm tolerance. The dimensions are sent to the glass manufacturer, who produces the toughened panel to exact size and drills the fixing holes precisely. There is no on-site cutting: toughened glass cannot be cut after manufacture.
Frameless screens are 10mm toughened safety glass as standard in Australia. Polished edges are the industry default; honed (matte) edges are an upgrade that some homeowners prefer. Hinges and brackets are typically stainless steel or brass, colour-matched to the tapware.
Anti-limescale coatings are worth considering if your water is hard (true for most Adelaide suburbs). Products like EnduroShield bond to the glass surface and repel water for 8 to 10 years. The upgrade adds $150 to $300 and saves significant cleaning time.
Common situations our network handles.
Recognise any of these?
- The current framed shower screen has limescale etched into the glass.
- The door seals leak water onto the floor every shower.
- You want frameless to open up the bathroom visually.
- A hinged door is too tight for the space and you want to switch to a sliding or pivot design.
Here is what we do about it.
- Site measure to 1mm tolerance, CAD-produced glass order, and made-to-measure installation.
- 10mm toughened safety glass (Australian Standard AS/NZS 2208) for frameless.
- Polished or honed glass edges for a premium frameless finish.
- Anti-limescale coating (EnduroShield or similar) as an upgrade.

Shower Screen Replacement: your questions.
How much does a frameless shower screen cost in Adelaide?
+
A frameless shower screen (single fixed panel) in Adelaide costs $1,400 to $2,600 supplied and installed. With a hinged door, $2,200 to $3,800. Double-door enclosures reach $4,500.
How long does it take to get a shower screen replaced?
+
The site measure happens within a week of enquiry. Glass takes 7 to 14 working days to be made. Installation is one morning. Total timeline is 2 to 3 weeks from first contact.
Will a frameless screen leak?
+
Properly installed frameless screens do not leak. The bottom edge has a water-stopper strip, the door has a wipe seal, and the shower itself is designed with the floor fall running away from the opening. Leaks usually come from poor installation or damaged seals.
Can I reuse the old holes when replacing a shower screen?
+
Usually not. Glass dimensions differ slightly between screens, and new holes need to be drilled precisely for the new fixings. Our installers patch and colour-match the old holes.
