Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in High Barnet EN5, explained
Bath and shower screen fitting in High Barnet EN5 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Barnet, most of them mainly Victorian. 4,475 households sit inside this EN5 patch, 34% of them flats, so we quote on access near Barnet Market and the Battle of Barnet site rather than a London average.
How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in High Barnet
Five steps, the same on every EN5 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings, as the High Barnet stock goes, where 68% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year 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 High Barnet customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a High Barnet wall.
Booked around your day
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. High Barnet (Northern) is the nearest station, so a EN5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
High Barnet walls, not generic walls
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — and with 29% one-person households in High Barnet, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in EN5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — which is why London Borough of Barnet kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in High Barnet
Fixed prices for EN5 and the rest of Barnet. 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 High Barnet
The same scope across EN5, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On EN5 jobs: drilling set for porcelain and ceramic tile with a pilot to stop the bit skating off the glaze, with 34% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- In High Barnet: screen or door packed and shimmed level even where the bath or tray is not, the way it is done on High Barnet jobs
- Neutral-cure silicone sealant used against tile and enamel, which will not corrode chrome fittings — including bath and shower screen fitting london
- Standard on Barnet bookings: old sealant fully removed and the substrate dried before resealing, arranged with London Borough of Barnet where the kerb needs it
Not included
- Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray, which is quoted as a separate repair, outside the fixed price on High Barnet bookings
- Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking, quoted separately if you need it arranged in EN5
- Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down, which we refer on to the right trade in High Barnet

Sulltan is the best handyman in London. He is very reliable and professional. I highly recommend.

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 →

High Barnet EN5 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers High Barnet — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
Walk High Barnet from Barnet Market and the Battle of Barnet site outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 34% of the 4,475 households in EN5 live in flats, 66% in houses.
Owner-occupation runs at 68% in High Barnet, so alongside the 24% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — and with 29% one-person households in High Barnet, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site behind the plaster in EN5. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — which is why London Borough of Barnet kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows High Barnet knows the pattern near Barnet Market and the Battle of Barnet site: historic market town at the top of the Northern line, with a hill high street. We plan the EN5 visit around it. High Barnet is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Steep Barnet Hill, narrow high-street loading and driveways on the estates. Nearest station is High Barnet (Northern), 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.

Screen type and how far out of level the bath, tray or floor sits for High Barnet (EN5) addresses. 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 on this side of Barnet, with Barnet Market and the Battle of Barnet site a few streets away.
Can you fit a shower screen on an old cast-iron bath in High Barnet EN5?
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in High Barnet's older stock are rarely level along the rim on this side of Barnet, with this being London Borough of Barnet territory — and this being a short walk from High Barnet (Northern), so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — which is why London Borough of Barnet kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded on EN5 jobs — and Barnet Market and the Battle of Barnet site a few streets away, with 66% of High Barnet homes being houses.
Do you drill into tiles in EN5 without cracking them?
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry in High Barnet, with 4,475 households on this patch. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in High Barnet bathrooms around High Barnet (Northern), with a median age of 43 in this neighbourhood.
I have mould around my old shower screen in High Barnet — can you just reseal it?
Yes, from £65. With 34% of High Barnet 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 this side of Barnet — and 8% social-rented stock nearby, with 24% of EN5 homes being privately rented.
Who books bath and shower screen fitting in High Barnet EN5 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 24% of High Barnet privately rented and 68% owner-occupied, roughly half the EN5 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on EN5 jobs — and this being a short walk from High Barnet (Northern), with 4,475 households on this patch.
How quickly can you reach High Barnet from your Barnet round?
Barnet Market and the Battle of Barnet site is the marker we route to on this side of Barnet, with 8% social-rented stock nearby — and Barnet parking rules in play, and steep Barnet Hill, narrow high-street loading and driveways on the estates. A EN5 slot added to an existing Barnet round usually lands the same week rather than the next in this 34% flats neighbourhood, with 66% of High Barnet homes being houses.
Is same-day or evening bath and shower screen fitting available in Barnet?
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show in High Barnet, with this being a short walk from High Barnet (Northern). High Barnet sits close to High Barnet (Northern) around High Barnet (Northern), with 24% of EN5 homes being privately rented, so we can usually add a EN5 job to an existing Barnet round at short notice.
