Framed screens are cheapest and seal well but the frames collect grime. Frameless looks best and is easiest to clean but costs most and shows water marks, a coated glass helps.
Ways to save
- A semi-frameless screen is a good middle ground, most of the frameless look for much less.
- Standard sizes are far cheaper than custom, design the shower to a standard opening where possible.
- Coated, low-maintenance glass costs a little more but saves hours of cleaning over its life.
How we estimate this
A shower screen in Australia typically costs around $500 to $900 for a framed or semi-frameless screen supplied and installed in 2026, and $1,200 to $2,500 for frameless. Custom sizes, corner configurations and coated glass add more.

What a shower screen installation costs in Brisbane
A shower screen is a toughened-glass enclosure for the shower, and the price turns on the style: framed is the cheapest, semi-frameless the middle option, and a fully frameless panel the most expensive. In Brisbane the figure is built from the style, the glass thickness, the size and the door type, so a frameless walk-in costs well above a framed sliding screen. Brisbane labour sits below the southern capitals, so the install is good value for the same glass.
Brisbane's subtropical humidity makes a bathroom slow to dry, so ventilation and an easy-clean coated glass that resists mould and water marks are common choices alongside the style. Renovated Queenslanders and new builds both favour the frameless look to brighten a timber-era bathroom. Custom glass to fit an out-of-square old wall adds cost over a standard-size panel, as it does anywhere.
A glazier or shower-screen installer fits the glass, not a licensed building trade, so no building licence applies, in Queensland under the state building authority for any structural side; the wet-area waterproofing behind the tiles is a separate, licensed waterproofer's or tiler's job that must be completed before the screen goes in. Price a Brisbane job by the style, the glass and the door type.
