Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Becontree RM9, explained
Bath and shower screen fitting in Becontree RM9 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Barking and Dagenham, most of them post-war. 19,652 households sit inside this RM9 patch, 19% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Becontree Estate centenary trail rather than a London average.
How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Becontree
Five steps, the same on every RM9 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — and with 23% one-person households in Becontree, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Measure and level-check
Bath, tray or wet-room floor measured, and how far out of level it is checked before ordering, so packers and shims are ready on the day.
Step 2
Mark and pilot-drill tile
Positions marked, then pilot-drilled slowly into the glaze with a masonry bit rated for porcelain, which is the step that stops tiles cracking.
Step 3
Fix and pack level
Hinges, tracks or channels fixed and packed so the screen itself reads level even when the bath edge does not.
Step 4
Seal
Neutral-cure silicone run to the tile and the bath or tray, tooled to a clean bead and left to cure before use.
Step 5
Test and clear
Door or panel run through its full movement, checked for drips at the seal, and off-cuts and packaging removed.
Why choose us
Why Becontree customers book us
Four things decide whether a RM9 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Becontree walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Becontree, often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 19,652 households inside the RM9 neighbourhood in RM9, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Becontree gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 44% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Insured and documented
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover, and every screen fitted is CE-marked toughened safety glass to BS EN 12150 — the standard that means it crumbles into small granules rather than shards if it ever fails.
Crew sized to the job
One fitter for a pivot or fixed screen; two for sliding and bi-fold enclosures and any wet-room panel over 190cm, which is awkward to hold plumb alone. Wide estate roads with kerbside parking and level front paths — straightforward for a Luton.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Becontree
Fixed prices for RM9 and the rest of Barking and Dagenham. Screen type and how far out of level the bath, tray or floor sits. A packed-and-shimmed pivot screen is quick; a floor-fixed wet-room panel with no frame to hide the gap takes the longest to get plumb.
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pivot screen on a bath | £110 | 1–1.5 hrs | The hinge post is packed and shimmed to a bath edge that is rarely dead level, then silicone-sealed to the tile. |
| Fixed bath screen with return panel | £150 | 1.5–2 hrs | Two panels and a bracing bar have to be squared to each other before either is sealed, or the return panel gapes. |
| Sliding shower door on a tray | £190 | 2–3 hrs | The track is fixed to the wall tiles and the tray upstand, both drilled without cracking porcelain, then the rollers are set to run true. |
| Bi-fold shower door, enclosure | £220 | 2.5–3.5 hrs | Two hinged leaves fold flush without fouling the tray lip, which takes more adjustment than a single sliding panel. |
| Wet-room glass panel, floor-fixed | £240 | 3–4 hrs | No frame to hide behind: the channel and the panel both have to be perfectly plumb against a screeded fall. |
| Re-silicone an existing screen or bath edge | £65 | 45–75 min | Old silicone is cut out, the substrate dried and re-sealed — the single most common reason a bathroom starts to smell of damp. |

Scope
What's included in Becontree
The same scope across RM9, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Barking and Dagenham bookings: drilling set for porcelain and ceramic tile with a pilot to stop the bit skating off the glaze, allowing for the 23% of RM9 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Screen or door packed and shimmed level even where the bath or tray is not, noted on the Becontree job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Becontree: neutral-cure silicone sealant used against tile and enamel, which will not corrode chrome fittings, timed against the walk in from Becontree (District)
- On RM9 jobs: old sealant fully removed and the substrate dried before resealing, agreed on the doorstep in Becontree before anything is unpacked
Not included
- Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray, which is quoted as a separate repair, outside the fixed price on Becontree bookings
- Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking, and we will say so before the RM9 visit rather than on the day
- Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down, which we refer on to the right trade in Becontree

I have recently had a lot of work done in my small flat which has left it grubby and, following surgery, I haven't been able to clean up myself. I booked a deep clean and a carpet shampoo. The team arrived as scheduled and started work, room by room. They were friendly, efficient and considerate.… Read in full →

Becontree RM9 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Becontree — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
Becontree RM9 is post-war and social-housing-led: 19% of homes here are flats and 81% are houses, across 19,652 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 23% private renting against 44% owner-occupied, most RM9 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Becontree, often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 19,652 households inside the RM9 neighbourhood behind the plaster in RM9. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Becontree gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 44% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the fault we are called back to undo.
Becontree is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — the world's largest council estate when built — 26,000 cottage homes on a grid — which is why a RM9 quote is not a Barking and Dagenham average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: wide estate roads with kerbside parking and level front paths — straightforward for a Luton. Becontree (District) is the nearest station, and one fitter for a pivot or fixed screen; two for sliding and bi-fold enclosures and any wet-room panel over 190cm, which is awkward to hold plumb alone.

Can you fit a shower screen on an old cast-iron bath in Becontree RM9?
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Becontree's older stock are rarely level along the rim on the streets near The Becontree Estate centenary trail, with The Becontree Estate centenary trail a few streets away, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb.

I have mould around my old shower screen in Becontree — can you just reseal it?
Yes, from £65. With 19% of Becontree homes being flats, poor bathroom ventilation is common; we strip the old silicone fully, dry the substrate and reseal with neutral-cure sealant so it doesn't come back within a season on the streets near The Becontree Estate centenary trail — and 81% of Becontree homes being houses, with 23% one-person households here.
