Glass Tub Enclosures in Baltimore, MD

A glass tub enclosure replaces the shower curtain with fixed, hinged, or sliding glass over the tub. Baltimore Glass Company measures and installs tub enclosures in Baltimore and the surrounding area, from simple sliding doors to a fixed panel with a hinged door.

Glass over the tub

Pick Your Tub Enclosure Style

Tub enclosures cover the edge of a bathtub, usually with a fixed panel and a door, or a pair of sliding panels. They keep water in the tub area, let light through, and show off the tile. Because tubs and walls vary, we measure the finished height and width and check that the tub is level before we order.

Glass Tub Enclosure Questions

  • How much does a glass tub enclosure cost?

    The price depends on the tub size, the style (sliding, hinged, or fixed panel), the glass thickness, and the hardware. We measure first and quote from your actual tub and walls. Our shower door cost guide explains what moves the price.

  • Should I choose a sliding door or a hinged door for my tub?

    Sliding doors need no swing room, which helps in small bathrooms. A fixed panel with a hinged door gives a wider opening and is easier to step through. We can tell you which fits your bathroom when we measure.

  • Can you put glass on a drop-in tub with a deck?

    Often, yes. We check the deck surface and thickness before we order, because the glass needs a flat, stable place to mount. Send photos and we will tell you what we would do.

  • Will a glass tub enclosure stop water from getting out?

    It will cut down splashing a great deal, but no enclosure is completely watertight. Seals, sweeps, and a tub that slopes toward the drain help. We check the tub and walls when we measure.

  • How long does it take to get a custom tub enclosure?

    The glass is cut to your measurements after we measure the finished height and width, so there is a lead time before installation. We confirm timing when we quote.

  • What type of glass is best for a tub enclosure?

    Most homeowners choose clear tempered glass for its timeless look. Frosted and textured glass add privacy. See our types of glass guide for the differences.

  • What hardware finishes are available?

    Chrome, brushed nickel, and black finishes are common. Pick a finish to match the rest of the bathroom, and ask what is offered for your style.

  • How do I clean a glass tub enclosure?

    Wipe the glass after showers with a squeegee and use a non-abrasive glass cleaner or a mix of vinegar and water to prevent soap residue and hard water buildup.
