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.

    Run a bead of silicone around the seam. It will be more than enough to hold the glass in place.

    I don’t think so, the shower door is hanging from the side of that glass panel. Silicone caulk is not an adhesive, it’s just a sealant. Opening and closing the door will break it free again.

      Ah, for some reason I thought the glass what was moving was the stationary side. I should have taken a better look at the photo. Thanks for the correction!
