I want to remove the skiding glass doors on my tub/shower combination to make it more handicap accessible for my husband and allow me to use a transfer chair. How do I fill the screw holes where the door was matched to the surround? Thanks!!

    How about fill them in with the screws that used to attach them and then decorate the screw head to make it festive instead of awkward?

      My goodness. Simple idea never thought of that assumed there was some filler people had used but this seems much easier. Thanks

    there is a fiberglass fill kit at the hardware stores made especially for that. We used it and you can't see where the hole was.

      I want to say it was called fiberglass fill kit or something like that, and I got it at Home Depot or Menards?? I will ask my husband if he remembers.

    Several years ago I removed the sliding glass doors from our fiberglass tub/shower. I found small white plastic plugs in the shelving department at Menard's that fit perfectly & looked great. I worked at Menard's but I'm sure Home Depot/Lowe's would have something similar.

    Find a locally-owned hardware store and patronize them. They are very helpful in answering questions and will have what you need. However, I agree with the person who said they used fiberglass filler. I wouldn't use silicone caulk because it will get wet (and eventually wash out) when your husband exits the tub.

    thanks to all. Now I just need to get at it

    Fiberglass filler is right next to the auto body bonds at your local auto store.
