Shower jambs are the transition pieces between your bathroom floor and any adjoining rooms or spaces. Now the shower jamb is what you step over to get into the shower. We’re all familiar with a curbed shower. So the curb is typically more of your residential curb, where you step over that and into the shower. They’re typically made of a durable material, such as marble, granite, or porcelain, and are designed to protect the edge of your bathroom floor from wear and tear.
According to the IRC, the minimum height for a shower curb is 2 inches from the top of the drain. Specifically, the building code states: The curb shall be not less than 2 inches (51 mm) and not more than 9 inches (229 mm) deep when measured from the top of the curb to the top of the drain.
Even metal may eventually corrode with regular exposure to humidity, but you won’t have to worry about these issues with marble shower jambs in your bathroom. This durable and attractive material can handle high levels of moisture and even standing water. Of course, Cultured Marble, Onyx, and Granite shower jambs offer a durable, and easy to clean alternative to natural stone or tile jamb. Available in five standard lengths or as a slightly textured shower ramp for safety and ease for barrier free access. However, for those that want the luxury of a marble bathroom, however, a marble shower jamb can bring a touch of real elegance to a bathroom, without sacrificing cost efficiency, and practicality. A marble shower jamb is a small touch that will be instantly visible in a renovated bathroom, especially if the color is striking.
The cost to install a shower jamb in 2024 is $2,820 to $7,185 on average. If you are only replacing a shower jamb, the cost is $598 on average. The total cost will depend on the type of your shower’s size, how many glass walls you need, the type of glass you choose, and local labor rates.
A shower jamb is one of those projects that can quickly add up. Fortunately, there are ways you can save on your shower jamb that can help you avoid breaking the bank.

We honed the shower jamb to remove any surface damage and prepare the surface for the next step. To fill in the holes, we floated (filled in the holes) with a high-quality, custom-tinted epoxy filler. We restored the finish with additional honing and polishing, matching the finish of the repaired portions with the surrounding stone. Our final steps were to seal the limestone to inhibit staining and re-caulked to discourage any future moisture damage.
The homeowners were glad that our restoration services enabled them to avoid the hefty cost of a demo and new install. We advised them to either use a pH-neutral, stone-safe cleaner on the shower door in the future or, if they continued to use glass cleaner, to protect the stone from drips.
