A few clear photos and a short description can make the first conversation about new shower glass much easier. Before requesting a shower glass quote from Sea of Glass and Mirrors, gather the details below so we can understand your opening, your preferences, and the stage of your project.
You do not need to produce a technical drawing or take final fabrication measurements. The aim is to start with a preliminary quote, then discuss professional measurement once you are comfortable with the price and want to proceed.
Start with your contact and project details
Include your name, preferred phone number or email, and the city or ZIP code where the work is planned. Tell us whether you are replacing an existing enclosure, adding glass to a bathtub, or finishing a new shower. If a contractor is coordinating the remodel, mention that too.
Let us know whether the tile and other finishes are complete. If work is still underway, explain what will change. A photo of an unfinished opening is useful context, but it cannot show the final surface where the glass will fit.
Photograph the opening and the space around it
- One overall view: Stand back far enough to show the full shower opening, the curb or bathtub edge, and both sides.
- The nearby fixtures: Include the vanity, toilet, towel bars, and anything else near a possible door swing.
- The shower interior: Show the showerhead position, benches, ledges, or other features that may affect the layout.
- The existing enclosure, if any: Show its general arrangement and explain whether you want it replaced or want a different style.
Take photos from a stable, safe position. There is no need to climb, lean over an enclosure, remove hardware, or move glass. If any glass is cracked, loose, or damaged, keep your distance and describe the concern. Leave people, personal documents, and other private details out of the frame where possible.
Share approximate dimensions only if safely known
If you already have an approximate opening width and desired glass height, include them and state the units. Label these numbers as approximate. An existing plan or a simple sketch can also help explain an unusual layout.
If you do not know the dimensions, say so. Do not stretch across the shower or handle an existing panel to get them. Customer measurements and photos support the initial discussion; they do not replace the professional measurements and site review needed before custom glass is ordered.
Describe the look and function you want
Tell us whether you prefer a swinging door, sliding doors, or a fixed panel, and whether you have a hardware finish in mind. You can review our shower door options for ideas. If you are undecided, describe what matters most: an easy-to-use opening, a more open appearance, or a layout that works around nearby fixtures.
A reference image can help communicate a preference, but a design that works in another bathroom may need adjustment for yours. The opening and surrounding space help determine which options are practical.
What happens after the preliminary quote?
We may ask for another view or clarify a detail before discussing the preliminary price. Once you are comfortable with that price and want to move forward, we can discuss arranging professional measurement. Appointment availability must be confirmed before a visit is booked.
The site review confirms dimensions and installation conditions so the final scope can be agreed before fabrication. If the layout or your selections change, those changes should be reflected in the project details.
