Most homeowners already know roughly what they want before they call, so here is what each option involves and when it makes sense.
Frameless enclosures use thick tempered glass held by minimal hardware, with no metal channel framing the panels. We install both 3/8" and 1/2" glass. The 3/8" suits standard walk-ins and swing doors, while 1/2" adds rigidity for wider spans and heavier panels.
Semi-frameless doors keep a slim metal frame around the perimeter and use thinner glass than a full frameless build. You get much of the open look at a lower cost, which works well for guest baths and tighter budgets.
Sliding barn-style doors run on an exposed top track and roll sideways instead of swinging out. They fit alcove tubs and narrow bathrooms where a swing door would hit a vanity or wall.
Steam enclosures seal from floor to ceiling with a transom panel and gasketing that traps heat and moisture inside. Choose this if your shower includes a steam generator and needs a fully closed top.
Repair and replacement covers cracked panels, worn seals, sagging hinges, and glass that no longer sits square. If a panel is broken or the hardware has failed, we match the existing glass thickness and hinge type so the fix blends with what you already have.
Most Orange County homeowners want a number before they call, so here are the ranges we see across the projects we install. Final pricing depends on the opening size, the glass thickness, and the hardware finish you choose, but these ranges cover the majority of standard bathrooms in Costa Mesa, Irvine, and Newport Beach.
| Service type | Typical price range | What's included |
|---|---|---|
| Frameless enclosure (3/8" glass) | $1,200 – $2,500 | Tempered glass, clips, handle, standard hardware, install |
| Frameless enclosure (1/2" glass) | $1,800 – $3,500 | Heavier tempered glass, premium hardware, install |
| Semi-frameless enclosure | $900 – $1,800 | Slim framing, tempered glass, hardware, install |
| Sliding barn-style door | $1,400 – $3,000 | Roller track, tempered glass panels, hardware, install |
| Steam shower enclosure | $2,500 – $5,000 | Sealed top panel, transom, gaskets, install |
| Repair or panel replacement | $250 – $900 | Hardware swap, reseal, or single panel replacement |
Glass thickness drives most of the price difference. A 1/2" panel costs more than a 3/8" panel because the tempered glass weighs more and demands sturdier hardware to hang square. Finish choices like matte black or brushed gold also add to the hardware line.
We schedule an in-home measurement to lock in your exact figure. Our installer measures the opening, checks whether the walls sit plumb, and quotes the precise glass and hardware your bathroom needs, so the estimate you sign matches the door we build.
Our lifetime warranty backs the work we control. It covers the workmanship of the installation, the tempered glass edges and drilling we complete in our shop, and the hinges, clips, and handles we set. If a hinge loosens, a seal fails, or a panel shifts because of how we mounted it, we correct it. The warranty does not cover glass breakage, hard-water etching, or damage from mishandling after we leave.
Give us a call or send a note through the online form, describe what you're seeing, and attach a few photos if you can. One of our in-house technicians will come out, confirm the cause, and fix it.
Every job follows the same four steps, so you know what happens before you commit.
Because the same team measures, builds, and installs, mistakes get caught early instead of after the glass is set.
Most frameless installations run between $1,200 and $2,500 depending on glass thickness, size, and hardware finish. Sonshine Glass & Mirror provides an exact quote after an in-home measurement. Custom enclosures and 1/2" glass sit at the higher end of that range.
Once your glass is fabricated, most installations finish in a single day. Sonshine schedules the install after the tempered glass arrives, which usually takes one to two weeks from measurement.
Frameless doors use thick tempered glass with minimal hardware and no surrounding metal frame. Semi-frameless doors add a light frame around the edges, which lowers cost while keeping a clean look.
Sonshine installs 3/8" and 1/2" tempered safety glass, which resists impact and breaks into small blunt pieces rather than sharp shards.
Repair worn hardware, seals, or hinges when the glass is intact. Replace the enclosure when the glass is chipped, or the frame no longer holds a proper seal.
The lifetime warranty covers hardware and workmanship. Call or submit the online form to schedule an inspection.
