Hi,
Yes — in most cases there is a price difference between a nickel/chrome shower door and a black-finished shower door.
Here’s why:
• Black hardware is usually more expensive to manufacture and finish than chrome or brushed nickel.
• Many brands charge a premium for matte black finishes because they’re more trendy and in higher demand.
• Black finishes can also cost slightly more for replacement parts and matching accessories.
Typical price difference (material only):
Chrome / Brushed nickel: baseline price
Matte black: +$100 to $300 CAD more, depending on brand, size, and glass thickness
Installation cost:
The labour cost is usually the same for both finishes. The colour does not affect installation time.
Summary:
✔ Yes, black shower doors usually cost more than chrome or nickel
✔ The price difference is mainly for the door itself, not the installation
✔ Labour cost is typically the same for both finishes
To give an exact price difference, the specific door model and size would be needed.
