Shower Glass & Bathroom Enclosures in Dubai

Supplied and installed, a shower glass enclosure in Dubai typically costs AED 950–3,000 for a bathtub screen or fixed walk-in panel, AED 3,000–5,500 for a 10mm frameless hinged enclosure, and AED 5,500–9,500+ for corner, full-height or low-iron designs. The exact price depends on glass area, thickness and hardware, and follows a free site survey.

10mm toughened glass is the best all-round choice for frameless shower doors and walk-in screens in Dubai. Use 8mm for framed, sliding and bathtub screens, and 12mm for panels taller than about 2.2m or wider than 1.2m that need to stand with minimal hardware.

Frameless shower glass uses 10–12mm panels held only by hinges and clamps, with no metal profile around the glass. Semi-frameless uses slim aluminium profiles on one or two edges with 8–10mm glass, usually costs 20–30% less, and is more forgiving of walls that aren’t perfectly square.

A sliding shower door is usually better for a small bathroom because it needs no swing space. A hinged door needs roughly 600mm of clear floor to open fully, so if a vanity, WC or towel rail sits in that zone, choose a sliding door or a fixed walk-in screen.

Installation itself takes half a day to one day per bathroom. Including the survey, quotation and 5–10 working days of fabrication and toughening, most projects go from first visit to a usable shower in 7–14 days, with 24 hours for the silicone to cure.

Yes. Tempered (toughened) glass is around four to five times stronger than ordinary annealed glass and breaks into small, blunt granules rather than sharp shards. It is the standard safety glazing for showers, and every panel we install carries a visible safety mark.

Yes, if it is protected and cared for. Choose an easy-clean hydrophobic coating, squeegee after each shower and clean weekly with a pH-neutral cleaner. Uncoated glass that is regularly left wet gradually bonds with mineral deposits that can’t be fully removed.

A like-for-like shower glass installation doesn’t usually need a Dubai Municipality permit, but most towers and community managers require a contractor work permit or NOC before work starts. We prepare the paperwork and work within the building’s permitted hours.

Yes, as long as the floor falls towards the drain and the walls can take fixings. We assess both during the survey. If the fall is wrong or the waterproofing has failed, we tell you upfront and correct it with minimal disruption rather than fitting glass that will leak.

Yes. Most leaks are fixed by replacing seals or re-siliconing, and dropped doors by re-setting or replacing the hinges. A cracked toughened panel can’t be repaired, but we can replace that single panel and match the existing hardware in most cases.

Low-iron glass is ultra-clear glass with most of the iron oxide removed, which eliminates the green tint visible on standard glass edges. It is worth it in bathrooms with white marble, pale tiles or 12mm glass, where the green edge is most noticeable, and typically adds 20–30% to the glass cost.
