The cost of installing glass shower doors can vary significantly. It can be as low as $100 or as high as several thousand dollars and at Keystone Home Products we’ve seen it all. There are a number of factors that weigh on the overall cost of shower door installations. Some of them are easy to identify and others are more subtle but just as important. In this post we’re going to take a look at 4 of them.
Determining the Cost of Glass Shower Doors in Toronto
Because the cost of installing glass shower doors in Toronto varies so significantly from case to case we need to take a look at the reasons why. Here are 4 of the factors that will have a substantial impact on the final cost of your shower door installation.
- Door Size: We’re going to start with the obvious and that is the size of your doors. The larger the door the higher the cost. It only makes sense. Unfortunately there isn’t much you can do about the size of the doors you’ll need unless you want to redesign the entire bathroom. So the size of your shower enclosure is the first factor in determining how much you’ll pay for your glass shower doors in Toronto.
- Door Type: Unlike the size of your door which you have very little control over the type of shower door you install will be entirely up to you and will play an important part in how much you pay. You can choose hinged doors that swing open or sliding doors that will save space but cost more, or you can choose to have a customized door installed that will ramp up the luxury but ramp up the cost as well.
- Bathroom Layout: A big bathroom is a joy for the contractor to work with. There’s lots of room to move and to keep tools and materials handy. A tiny bathroom however can be a logistical nightmare since the contractor will likely have to get up and leave the room every time they need a different tool or material. Every move adds time and therefore cost to the job.
- Labour: It’s never a good idea to try and install glass shower doors yourself. If you drop the glass door while trying to hang it you run the risk of serious injury plus the cost of having to purchase a replacement door. So leaving it to the pros is the right call, but the pros don’t work for free. How much you pay for labour will depend on the factors already laid out above.
The installation of glass shower doors in Toronto is one whose final costs are not fixed. How much you wind up paying will depend on the factors outlined here plus others such as the time of year, whether the bathroom is on the first, second, third floor or higher and the overall condition of your bathroom.
