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!
Update: thank you all for the comments. I don't think I have the skills to do this project by myself and don't want to risk glass all over the bathroom floor. I've contacted some people who fix windows and stuff, and they've agreed to this work at a reasonable price.
I can only confirm what ballskicker and Shadow said - I'd remove the old caulk both mechanically and with the help of a solvent and then caulk it back in.
However, I'm also pretty sure it will eventually sag again without the help of a retaining mechanism.
Given the pictures you posted (which might not provide the full context), I assume someone really just caulked a glass panel into the profiles and left it at that. I assume you would like to avoid drilling the glass (can be done, but is tricky and has the potential to create a mess pretty quickly), so I'd simply manufacture a retaining cap that closes off the profile and holds the glass panel in place. I'd drill a hole into the ceiling to hold the cap in place, or into the profile, depending on the material and the remaining situation at hand.
I'm talking about mounting that right here, after sliding the glass back in / caulking, of couse:
