We have a light bone shower enclosure (Sterling Vikrell)that was recently installed. (one year ago) The areas where shampoo and soap bottles sit on the shelves of the enclosure seem to be losing their color where the bottles sit. I was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem.

I have worked on vikrel tubs for the past 5 years and have yet seen a bone or any other color other than a light gray. Due to the tub making process, the tubs or showers are the color of the plastic use to make them. If you have a bone tub it has probably been refinished (factory? or by some company offering a bone vikrel tub. I would contact Kohler who makes the sterling line of tubs and ask their tech support about colorizing a vikrel tub. Look for a local and reliable tub repair company, they should be able to match the bone color. Ingredients in soaps and shampoo's tend to affect the refinish material.
Hope this helps you out.

I have a Sterling shower with Vikrell base. The base has discolored. Can anything be done to repair it?

Yes there is. You will have to go to a place that sells that brand and ask them how to get in contact with the people who repair them in your area.

I have a Sterling 1500D Shower door and I need to replace hollow gasket at the bottom of the door. Where do I purchase this from???

It sounds like you need the sweep or seal that keeps water in the enclosure. You can buy these items, which are inexpensive and usually easy to install yourself at www.technologylk.com Technology LK carries a comprehensive range of shower door gaskets, seals and other hardware.

Years ago I purchased a Kinkead Vista-Pivot Shower Door, model 1500-31, Silver. For a variety of reasons the shower didn't get built until recently. However the door opening is now 32.5 inches wide so it...

Ace Hardware sells that door and you will need to see if they can order the parts but it looka like they sell the doors 36" size so when you order you will need to order for the Sterling Plumbing 1500D-36S "Vista Pivot" Shower Door Fits Openings 31 -1/4" To 36" H 66" . Now if you have not completely finished the shower you could always make the door opening fit what you have.
