Silicone & Caulking Restoration
Deteriorating, discolored, or separating silicone can make an otherwise beautiful shower enclosure look neglected and may compromise its ability to contain water.
Scum Scrubbers specializes in the professional removal and replacement of failing silicone around shower glass and enclosure joints. We carefully remove deteriorated material, prepare accessible surfaces, and apply new silicone to restore a clean, professional finish and improve water containment.
Common Problems We Address
Discolored or mold-affected silicone
Peeling, cracking, or separating caulking
Deteriorated seals around glass panels and shower enclosures
Gaps or failing joints that may contribute to water leakage
Please note: New silicone installations require a 24-hour dry, no-use period. Existing structural or installation-related problems may require additional corrective work.

Seals & Sweep Replacement
Worn, discolored, or damaged shower door seals can affect both the appearance and performance of your enclosure. Over time, vinyl sweeps and jamb seals may become brittle, loose, cracked, or ineffective at controlling water.
Scum Scrubbers provides professional replacement of worn shower door sweeps, jamb seals, and other compatible vinyl components. We evaluate the existing enclosure and replace deteriorated seals with appropriately fitted materials to help improve water containment, door operation, and overall appearance.
Common Problems We Address
Torn, brittle, or discolored vinyl seals
Missing or damaged bottom door sweeps
Loose or deteriorating jamb seals
Water escaping around shower door edges
Worn seals affecting door closure or operation
Please note: Replacement seal availability and compatibility depend on the existing enclosure design and glass configuration. Some water leakage may result from underlying installation or alignment issues requiring additional corrective work.

Scum Scrubbers provides professional inspection, servicing, adjustment, and replacement of compatible shower enclosure hardware. From hinges and clamps to handles and sliding door components, we work to restore proper operation and improve the condition of existing hardware whenever practical.
Common Problems We Address
Loose, worn, or malfunctioning shower door hinges
Corroded or deteriorating hardware finishes
Damaged or loose glass clamps and brackets
Worn handles, rollers, and sliding door components
Hardware requiring adjustment, servicing, or replacement
Please note: Hardware restoration and repair options depend on the condition, manufacturer, and compatibility of existing components. Severely damaged or corroded hardware may require replacement.
Shower Door & Enclosure Adjustments
A shower door that sags, binds, drags, or doesn't close properly can be frustrating and may place unnecessary stress on the glass and hardware.
Scum Scrubbers specializes in evaluating and correcting common shower door alignment and operational issues. Through professional adjustments and servicing of compatible hinges, clamps, and enclosure components, we work to restore smoother operation, improve door alignment, and address accessible problems without unnecessary replacement.
Common Problems We Address
Shower doors that sag, drag, or rub against adjoining surfaces
Doors that bind, stick, or are difficult to open and close
Uneven gaps between shower doors and fixed glass panels
Misaligned hinges, clamps, and other enclosure hardware
Doors that no longer close or seal properly
Water escaping through gaps associated with door misalignment
Please note: Adjustment options depend on the existing enclosure design and condition. While servicing may improve alignment and water containment, some installation-related issues cannot be corrected through adjustments alone. Completely watertight performance cannot be guaranteed.
