This should have been planned before you tiled. You'll need a glass panel alongside the toilet, which will be awkward for reaching around to reach the valve. Then you'll need a panel over the bench. That leaves you a very small opening for a door. I don't know if it is feasible to make the door notched. Get the glass company out there ASAP.

Is that a wall-hung toilet? If not, you might consider one.

That's a bit of a hot mess honestly. Fixed panel on each side and a door in the center from what I can see is about it. I would not do a door with a corner cutout.

Can just do this panel no door?

Like the tile!

Ridiculous that it got this far. I'd re-do that bench, because any fix you do now will be a kludge that you'll have to live with and look out for until the next remodel..

For the benefit of others who might face the same Design Dilemma:

You should have had the on/off controls on the opposite side of the shower from the shower head (above the bench). Then a small door that could swing in or out. Instead you'll get soaked with cold water when you turn on the shower. Have a nice raincoat handy.

The bench is also going to cause problems because it looks like the end sticks out beyond the rest of the enclosure. Why???

Consider a shower curtain.

As suggested earlier by hummingalong2, a rain shower head and a small panel with the entrance left open.

If the bench can be removed without compromising the waterproofing, that's the best plan if you want a hinged door. Maybe the back wall would need to be rebuilt.

I didn't go with a hinged door in my shower because the valve is in the same position behind the toilet. It's awkward with a hinged door not only for showering but for accessing the hand shower to clean the shower. I couldn't move the valve to the open end because it would put it on an outside wall. I was going to build a pony wall alongside the toilet and put the valve there. But in the end I decided it was just too many hoops to jump through just so I could do a hinged door and I decided to use bypass doors with the exposed rollers on top. KISS.

In situations like this the shower needs to be reversed. The bench always has to go on the same side as the toilet. You can then have two glass panels. One fixed and even notched over the bench and the other a swinging door panel attached at the wall. You can easily reach the shower controls this way.

Indigo, that is what I suggested BUT it is a fixed panel and has to be on the same side as the toilet to work in a narrow space. Yes, she can have two fixed panels, but will end up with a tiny door and get wet when reaching for the controls.

get rid of the seat and have a sliding door

Could you do a small fixed panel on the bench and then do double barn door style doors? You could open the one side to turn the water on, close it and then open the other side to enter. Similar to the old style that were on bathtubs, but updated in full length glass. Wouldnt be totally framless due to needing a track on the top, but could solve all issues.

Indigo, how many times do we have to explain that detail ! ;-)

The "little" details that get forgotten when planning and can make or break a project.

It's too bad, because it looks like a good tile job.

Brandon's solution seems to be the only one that won't require demolition, although I would probably cut back the edge/overhang of the quartz top so the sliding shower door can come all the way to meet the bench side.

The edge of tempered glass is its weakest point. If the sliding door were to bump a stationary panel, the door or panel could shatter. Glass doors shattering is not as uncommon as you may think so be aware of that if that's your solution.

"There's no potentially workable solution that doesn't involve three pieces of glass,"

Thats what I said the other day. Poor design and planning and now that's what the op is stuck with.

And, with three panes of glass, the actual doorway to access the shower stall will be very narrow. It may be difficult for anyone who's not petite to enter the stall to take a shower or clean it.

OP - I feel for you. We've all made mistakes at some point. I hope that you'll update this thread once you've figured out how to fix this issue.

We keep repeating the same things in this thread. Three panels are needed but it makes the door too small. First post.

Sorry, mayflowers. Like the OP, I was initially hoping that another solution could be found. Next time, I see your post at the top, I'll consider the dilemma resolved.

No update from the OP?

What was the solution?

I know this was a while ago , but I ran into the same dilemma than I found this!

Did you have this door customized? Where can I find?

I actually found this off of Pinterest, but this will become a customized piece once my bathroom is finished!

While the latest picture of the sliding door is an interesting solution, it won’t help in the OP's situation. She would have to sashay sideways next to her toilet in order to squeeze into her shower.

Just read this and thought I’d post in case someone has a similar issue, a walk-in shower with a stationary glass wall without a door seems like the only solution because of the toilet. They’re cold if you don’t live at the right latitude… or have a radiant heater

We had a similar tight situation and so installed a fixed glass panel across part of the opening that keeps the water from splashing out. Works very well and we do not get cold.
