Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Colindale NW9, explained
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Colindale, bath and shower screen fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £110. With 80% of Colindale's 7,659 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in NW9 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Colindale
Five steps, the same on every NW9 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — which is why London Borough of Barnet kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded 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 Colindale customers book us
What follows is specific to Colindale: its walls, its access and the paperwork Barnet agents ask for.
Colindale walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Colindale, often with surface conduit, with 33% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in NW9, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Colindale gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 80% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Colindale actually produces.
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. Every new block requires booked goods lifts and loading bays; estate roads are gated.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Colindale
Fixed prices for NW9 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 Colindale
The same scope across NW9, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Barnet bookings: drilling set for porcelain and ceramic tile with a pilot to stop the bit skating off the glaze, arranged with London Borough of Barnet where the kerb needs it
- Screen or door packed and shimmed level even where the bath or tray is not — including bath and shower screen fitting london
- In Colindale: neutral-cure silicone sealant used against tile and enamel, which will not corrode chrome fittings, the way it is done on Colindale jobs
- On NW9 jobs: old sealant fully removed and the substrate dried before resealing, with 80% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
Not included
- Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray, which is quoted as a separate repair, outside the fixed price on Colindale bookings
- Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking, and we will say so before the NW9 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 Colindale

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

Colindale NW9 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Colindale — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
Colindale NW9 is inter-war and renter-heavy: 80% of homes here are flats and 20% are houses, across 7,659 households (ONS Census 2021).
The renter-heavy mix here (32% owned, 35% privately rented) means a NW9 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Colindale, often with surface conduit, with 33% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first behind the plaster in NW9. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Colindale gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 80% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Colindale actually produces is the fault we are called back to undo.
Colindale 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 fastest-growing new-build district in north London, around the old aerodrome — which is why a NW9 quote is not a Barnet average.
On access, every new block requires booked goods lifts and loading bays; estate roads are gated — one reason 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. Fitters travelling in use Colindale (Northern).

Common questions
Bath and shower screen fitting in Colindale NW9 — your questions.
How much does bath and shower screen fitting cost in Colindale NW9?
Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Colindale on the Colindale rounds, with The former Hendon Aerodrome and Colindale Gardens a few streets away, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Screen type and how far out of level the bath, tray or floor sits on NW9 jobs. 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 around Colindale (Northern), with this being a short walk from Colindale (Northern).
Can you fit a shower screen on an old cast-iron bath in Colindale NW9?
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Colindale's older stock are rarely level along the rim across NW9, with a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood — and 30% one-person households here, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is Colindale gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it around Colindale (Northern), with this being London Borough of Barnet territory, which is what a 80% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Colindale actually produces.
Do you drill into tiles in NW9 without cracking them?
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry in this 80% flats neighbourhood, with Barnet parking rules in play. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Colindale bathrooms around Colindale (Northern).
I have mould around my old shower screen in Colindale — can you just reseal it?
Yes, from £65. With 80% of Colindale 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 in this 80% flats neighbourhood, with 32% owner-occupation locally — and a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood.
What is not included in bath and shower screen fitting in Colindale?
Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray on the Colindale rounds, with 20% of Colindale homes being houses — and this being a short walk from Colindale (Northern), which is quoted as a separate repair; Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking; Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Colindale NW9 price you agree is the price you pay on NW9 jobs, with The former Hendon Aerodrome and Colindale Gardens a few streets away.
Who books bath and shower screen fitting in Colindale NW9 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 35% of Colindale privately rented and 32% owner-occupied, roughly half the NW9 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on the Colindale rounds — and this being London Borough of Barnet territory, with 20% of Colindale homes being houses.
How quickly can you reach Colindale from your Barnet round?
The former Hendon Aerodrome and Colindale Gardens is the marker we route to on the Colindale rounds, with 7,659 households on this patch — and this being London Borough of Barnet territory, and every new block requires booked goods lifts and loading bays; estate roads are gated. A NW9 slot added to an existing Barnet round usually lands the same week rather than the next for Colindale (NW9) addresses, with 30% one-person households here.
