Hey, apologies if I’m not using the correct terms, I’m going to do my best to describe the issue.
This is a photo from my shower. There’s a glass “wall” and a glass door. The door is connected to the glass wall by a hinge. The glass wall was glued to a metallic frame but it looks like the glue is not holding it in place anymore.
Is it a DIY job for a new homeowner after the millionth thing broke down this month and is ready to step into traffic? Or should I just hire someone? What profession am I even looking for to get it fixed?
If it’s an easy enough fix, what keywords do I use to look up a fix and the materials needed?
Any other useful information or advice would be appreciated. Thank you!
Granite counter tops also rest on a sturdy base, the caulk used to attach them doesn’t have to resist a lot of force trying to push the slab around, the caulk is mostly there to prevent liquids spilling into the cabinets and to provide a decent appearance. Yes, the caulk also somewhat attaches the slab, but keep in mind how hard it is to move to begin with, given the weight of the counter top.
Here, the weight of the glass door pulls the panel out of the rails via the hinges. Silicone won’t provide a lasting solution.
