Shower Screen Replacement Sydney: Old Screen Removed, New One Installed
Shower screen replacement is simple when you know what goes in its place. We measure with the old screen still in place, make the new one to your measurements, then take the old one out and fit the new one. You can choose frameless, semi frameless or fully framed, and every screen is cut to your measurements. Showerland does the work across Sydney from our Blacktown base, and it is covered by our 12 month workmanship warranty.
Replace or repair?
Not every tired screen needs replacing. A door that drags, a hinge that has dropped, a roller that sticks or a seal that has perished can often be put right with a repair. If that sounds like yours, start with our shower screen repairs page.
Replace when repair will not do the job:
Cracked or chipped glass. Toughened glass cannot be repaired. A crack or chip weakens the whole panel, so a cracked or chipped panel is replaced, not patched.
A frame that has bent or corroded. If the frame or track is past saving, replacing it costs less over time than another patch.
A screen that keeps leaking. If new seals have not fixed it, it may no longer suit the opening.
A bathroom you want to update. A new one changes how the whole room looks, and the old one may only fit the old layout.
If you are not sure, tell us what is wrong at the quote and we will say which way to go. The $55 measure visit also gives us a close look at it.
What to check before you call
A few minutes with the old screen tells you most of what we will ask. Look at the glass for cracks or chips, especially at the corners and edges. Open and close the door and see whether it drags, rubs or drops. Run a hand along the frame or track for corrosion or bending, and look at the seals for gaps. Then think about what you want in its place: the same look, or a change.
Tell us what you see when you ask for the quote, and we confirm it in person at the measure.
What shower screen replacement involves
- Quote. Tell us about the old one and the type you want in its place, online or by phone, and we give you a figure.
- Measure. We come to your bathroom, take exact measurements and look at what is around the old screen: the hob, the fall of the floor towards the drain, the walls and the silicone line where the old screen meets the tiles. A leak in the waterproofing under the tiles will not be fixed by a new screen, so if we see signs of one we tell you before you commit. The visit is $55, credited to your install.
- Made to order. Your new glass is cut to the measurements we took, and any frame is made to match. Standard screen height is 2000mm, and taller screens are made to measure on request.
- Out with the old, in with the new. Our installer fits the new screen on site. The visit takes about 2 hours once they arrive, and taking the old one out adds no meaningful time to that. Taking the old one out and away is priced in the same quote, so nothing is added on the day. The work is covered by our 12 month workmanship warranty.
Choosing the new screen
Replacing a screen is the chance to change the type. A fully framed screen can become frameless or semi frameless, because everything we make is cut to your measurements. The new one does not have to match the old one's layout, though the opening and the room still decide what fits. Tell us what you like about the old one and what you do not, and we say what will work.
Replacement options and prices
Your new screen can be any of our three builds. These are the published starting prices, supplied and installed:
Frameless fixed panel. From $880 installed. 10mm toughened glass with no frame. Custom shapes, such as corner, diamond and tile-following screens, run from $1,400 to $3,850 installed. See our frameless range.
Fully framed. From $935 installed. A full aluminium frame around the glass. See our fully framed shower screens.
Semi frameless. From $990 installed. 6mm toughened glass with a slim frame, in six finishes. See our semi frameless shower screens.
Every other layout is priced on measure, because the number depends on your bathroom. What moves it is the size of the opening, the shape, the door type, the finish and whether the old screen is a big one to take out.
Your exact price comes after we measure. Once we have measured, the price we quote is the price you pay. The measure visit is $55, and that $55 is credited to your install if you go ahead. For all the starting prices together, see our shower screen pricing page.
Just the glass: shower screen glass replacement
Sometimes only the glass has failed, a single panel or the shower door glass, and the frame and hardware are sound. When that is the case, we measure the opening and the hardware and quote the glass on its own, priced on measure. That includes a frame made by someone else.
Toughened glass cannot be cut to size once it is made, so a replacement panel or door is made to fit the measurements we take. A stock size is rarely right: a few millimetres out and it will not sit in the frame.
If the frame is worn or the hardware is hard to match, a full new screen is often the better answer, and we will tell you so at the measure.

Questions about replacing a shower screen
It depends on the type you choose. A frameless fixed panel starts from $880 installed, fully framed from $935 and semi frameless from $990. Custom frameless shapes run from $1,400 to $3,850. Taking the old screen out is priced in the same quote. The measure visit is $55, credited to your install if you go ahead.
Often, yes. If the frame and hardware are sound and only the glass has failed, we quote the glass on its own, priced on measure, including on a frame made by someone else. If the frame is worn, a full new screen is usually the better buy, and we say so at the measure.
Yes. Because the new screen is cut to your measurements, you can move from framed to frameless or semi frameless, or the other way, within what the opening allows. We talk it through at the measure.
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old screen is priced in the same quote, so you are not left with it in the garage.
The visit takes about 2 hours on site, and taking the old screen out adds no meaningful time to that. We confirm your date with you after the measure.
Glass replacements are booking as normal.
Old screens are fixed to the wall and the floor, so an old screen can leave drill holes and silicone marks behind. We look at how the old screen is fixed at the measure and tell you what is likely to show once the new one is up. We do not fill old drill holes: they stay visible, and the new fixings cover them where they can.
Our 12 month workmanship warranty covers the installation work. If something we fitted is not right, call 0421 717 044.
