Bathtub & Tub Shower Doors in Roseville
Glass over the tub you already own, instead of a curtain that sticks to your arm. Fortune measures your Roseville tub, builds bypass panels or a swing tub door in house, and installs it with our own crew.
Trade the Curtain for Glass
In Roseville, the tub and shower combo is not some secondary bathroom feature. In a lot of these small ranches and bungalows it is the only shower in the house, used by everybody in it, every day. So the difference between a vinyl liner and a glass door is something you notice constantly. A curtain clings to you. It drips on the floor when you pull it back. The bottom edge grows a line you can never fully clean. It reads as temporary no matter how new it is. Glass reads as finished. It closes the opening properly, it keeps the spray in the tub where it belongs, and it does all of that without anyone touching the tub, the tile, or the plumbing.
There are two ways to put glass on a tub, and the right answer comes down to your room. Sliding bypass panels are the classic setup. Two panels ride past each other, so nothing ever swings out into the floor space, which is why they are the default in a compact bathroom with the vanity sitting close. A swing or pivot tub door is a single panel on hinges that covers part of the opening and leaves the rest clear, which parents often prefer for bathing kids or rinsing something out. Both go on the tub you already have. We look at your bathroom, measure it, and give you a straight recommendation instead of steering you toward the bigger job.
Bathtub & Tub Shower Doors, measured and built for Roseville.
Your Tub Stays Put
The glass mounts to the tub deck and to the walls above it. Your tub does not move, the surround does not come off, and no plumbing gets opened. Fortune builds and installs glass. Tile and plumbing are other trades, and a tub door does not need either one to change how the room looks.
Bypass or Swing Door
Two sliding panels cover the full opening and keep the floor clear, which suits a tight Roseville bath. A hinged tub door leaves part of the tub open for washing a child or a dog. We show you both at the measure, in your actual bathroom, and tell you which one the room really wants.
Small Rooms Feel Bigger
A curtain cuts a bathroom in half visually and blocks the light coming in. Clear glass lets you see the tile all the way to the far wall, and daylight carries across the room instead of stopping at a liner. In a compact bathroom it is the simplest way to make the space feel wider and brighter.
The Tub Opening Sets the Rules
A tub is not a shower pan, and glass over one has its own set of problems to solve. The deck is only a few inches wide and it is curved, so the bottom rail or the panel edge has to sit on it correctly or water tracks over the outside lip and onto the floor. The walls at either end are almost never parallel to each other. The height of the glass has to be tall enough to catch the spray off your shower head and low enough that the room does not feel boxed in. In older Roseville houses, add walls that have shifted since the tub first went in. Every one of those things gets measured in your bathroom before a panel is cut.
Then there is hard water, which is a fact of life across Metro Detroit and does not spare tub enclosures. Minerals build up wherever water sits, and on a bypass setup that is usually the bottom track. Hardware that comes apart and wipes out easily turns that into a two minute job instead of a chore. A cloth over the glass after a shower keeps deposits from ever getting a foothold. Easy-clean glass is available and it helps the panels shed water instead of holding it. We go through all of it at the free in-home measure. Fortune fabricates and installs with the same family crew, working out of the showroom at 42624 Van Dyke Ave in Sterling Heights.

Do I need a new bathtub to get glass doors?
No. The panels mount to the tub deck and to the walls on either end, so the tub you have stays exactly where it is. We do not pull tubs, set tile, or open plumbing. Those are other trades. If your tub and the surround around it are in sound shape, glass is the only thing this job actually needs.
Sliding panels or a swing tub door?
It depends on the room and on how the tub gets used. Bypass panels never swing out into the floor, so they are the safe choice in a compact Roseville bathroom with a vanity close by. A hinged tub door leaves part of the opening clear, which helps when you are leaning over the tub with kids. We look at the space and tell you which fits.
Will glass really keep water in better than a curtain?
Yes, when it is built for your tub. A curtain has a gap at both ends and a bottom edge that rides up on you. Glass closes the opening with panels cut to the real length of your tub and the real walls above it, so water runs back down into the tub. Fit is what makes the difference, which is exactly why we measure in person.
How do I keep the track clean with this water?
Metro Detroit hard water leaves minerals anywhere water stands, and on a bypass tub door that means the bottom track. Choose hardware that wipes out easily, run a cloth through the track now and then, and dry the glass after showers. Easy-clean glass helps the panels shed water so fewer deposits ever form. We will show you what we recommend at the measure.
