Shower Door Seals and Sweeps

New seals, drip rails and bottom sweeps that stop leaks and drips at the edges of your shower door.

The seals and sweeps on a shower door are small, inexpensive parts that do an important job. They close the gaps between glass and wall, between two panels and between the door and the curb. Over time they harden, yellow, tear or collapse, and the shower starts to leak. Replacing them restores the water control the door was built with and often fixes a leak that feels bigger than it is.

We identify the type of seal your door uses: magnetic strips, bulb seals, fin seals, wipers or a drip rail with a sweep. Because profiles differ with glass thickness and door style, we match them carefully. We remove the old seals, clean the edges, fit the new ones and test the door with water to confirm that it closes tight and does not bind.

Match the profile

Seals come in many shapes for different glass thicknesses and designs. Using the wrong shape can leave gaps or make the door hard to close.

Sweeps and drip rails

A bottom sweep or drip rail directs water back into the shower. Replacing it often solves puddles at the base of the door.

Magnetic and vinyl seals

Magnetic seals hold the door shut at the latch edge. Vinyl seals fill the gaps at hinge sides and panel joints. We choose the right type for each location.

Clean surfaces first

Old sealant and soap scum prevent a good seal. We clean glass and metal before fitting the new parts.

Questions

Shower Door Seals and Sweeps FAQ

How often should seals be replaced?

Many last several years, depending on water hardness and use. Replace them when they harden, tear or leave gaps.

Why does my door leak at the bottom?

A worn or missing sweep is a common cause. A new sweep or drip rail usually fixes it.

Are magnetic seals better?

They hold the door shut well and are common on frameless doors. We use them where the design allows.

Can I replace seals myself?

Often yes, but the right profile is important. We can supply and install them for you.

Will new seals stop all splashing?

They reduce leaks a lot, but frameless designs have small gaps by design. A fixed panel adds more control.
