sliding door is reluctant to move sometimes!

[Anon125]

Some months ago 2 plumbers came to work here.
The less experienced one took out the toilet and in the cramped space may have banged the doors.
The other one replaced the shower filter (inside the shower of course!) and may also have rattled the doors.

Ever since then the right hand door does not like to play nice.
Sometimes it works easily and other times refuses to move and everywhere in between!
How do i fix it?
The glass does not seem to have dropped down.
House is 20 years old or so.
Thanks experts

Are the rollers turning freely, is the bottom guide hanging up the door?

 

[Anon125]

rollers run ok
think maybe the bottom guide may have swollen?
should there be a gap between the bottom of the door and the bottom of the black groove?
thanks

Shower & Bathtub Forum & Blog is much less active than the plumbing sections.

Can you tell if the resistance is from the top or bottom? Pushing the top side vs pushing the bottom side, on the partially-open problem side, might help identify that.

I suspect it is sometimes dragging on the bottom block
thanks
how is the block held in?

Pull the door there's bearings attached to a trolley. These are replacable. If you don't know the manufacturer of the door take the bearing and fastener do web search bath and shower door parts.
