Looking for an easy upgrade to a bathtub? Replace a shower curtain with a sliding tub door with panels of tempered safety glass or mirror. You’ll find several styles with sleek tracks and frames made of polished brass, nickel, silver and white finishes, and you can coordinate the new door with fixtures and accessories. Many of them are designed for do-it-yourself installation and sold at home improvement and bath centers.
We admit that newbie DIYers may be intimidated when they open the packing carton and find a bag of mysterious hardware and components, but don’t let that stop you if you’re bent on doing it yourself. Most manufacturers provide detailed instructions and videos on their websites. For $350 you can buy a top quality 5-foot-wide bathtub door system and install it, saving 55%.
