Glass shower door installation problem
My contractor put in an entire new shower for me, including the walls, fixtures, tile, etc. There is a glass shower door between two tiled half walls (and then glass going from the half walls on up). The glass is frameless except for where the glass meets the tops of the half walls. When the walls, tiling etc. were completed and it was time to measure for the glass, it was discovered that the sides of the half walls (between which the glass door was to go) were not plumb. The shower door contractor said that he could cut the door so that it fit the walls. Four doors later, he has given up, saying it is impossible to cut glass that precisely. The result is that there are spaces between the door and the walls, about 1/8 inch wide, and 6-7 inches long, about 1 foot from the base. There is some leakage to the outside of the shower. The contractor says my options are to live with it or rip out the entire shower and start over (which of course is a huge financial problem for the contractor). I also am really sick at the idea of giving up my bathroom for what would probably be weeks. I'm really interested in knowing if there are other options. Is it in fact possible to cut the glass more precisely? Is there a way to straighten the surface of the walls without ripping out the whole thing? I know there is a thin rubber/plastic seal that can be applied, but in this case there is insufficient space along the rest of the door, so the partial seal is very obvious. I would really appreciate your help. Thanks.
