I just closed on a house, and after my first shower, I noticed the glass door is catching on the tile underneath when I tried to close it. Before using it, everything was fine, but now it seems like the door might have shifted due to humidity or heat. The door is attached with metal hinges to the tile wall. Since the house was renovated by the previous owners who used the shower first, I have no contact info for the original installers. I found some paperwork suggesting that it might have been purchased from Home Depot or Wayfair, but I'm not sure if they hired a local company for installation. I'm looking for advice on the best way to get this fixed properly and whether I should call a shower door company or a glass expert.

It seems like your shower door just needs some minor adjustments rather than a replacement! Check the hinges; often, they can be adjusted to ensure the door swings freely. They might even have adjustable screws that you can work with to realign it. This kind of alignment issue happens a lot, so don’t stress about it too much—it's usually an easy fix!
Hey there! Sounds like a typical issue with glass shower doors, especially in humid environments. Usually, if the door is dragging, it means the hinges might have slipped. This is quite common as materials expand and contract with temperature and moisture. I'd recommend finding a local shower door or glass company and asking them to adjust the hinges for you. If you share a photo of the door's setup, they could give you more specific advice too! Let me know if you need any more tips!
You might also want to look into adjusting the wheels if your door has them. They’re usually located at the top and can slide along a track. If not, just tightening up the hinges can solve the problem! You can find plenty of helpful guides on YouTube if you’re unsure how to do it. Good luck!
Thanks for the help! I’ll take a look at the hinges first.
