removing glass door in bathtub

Halliburton would likely bid on the job.

It's actually a pretty manageable DIY job (I did it for the exact same reason you are). The doors are on roller tracks and can simply be lifted up and out. They are quite heavy, so watch your toes. The side framing (typically aluminum) can be easily unscrewed from the wall anchors. The anchors aren't too hard to remove, and you can get just fill the holes with a color-matched sanded grout or whatever material roughly matches the surface. The trick is the bottom track, which is probably glued right onto the porcelain. Carefully pry it off, and then use a hard plastic scraper to take up the remaining dried glue. For any stubborn marks or discoloration on the porcelain, Barkeeeper's Friend (a mild abrasive cleaner) works well.

Thanks east_cider. I can see how the DIY route could work but not sure I am up for it. Our frame on the wall side also seems to be glued and the wall is tile so I am concerned that I will end up with ruined wall tile as well. Not sure a professional will be able to prevent that but at least if a professional is doing it, my husband won't think that it is just that I bit off more than I could chew and ruined our walls in the process!

If you have a super or handyman in your building they can handle it for a decent tip, $50 -$100, based on how good a job they do.

Trade in the current husband for one with proper man skills
