Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Friern Barnet and New Southgate N11, explained
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around New Southgate, bath and shower screen fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £110. With 47% of Friern Barnet and New Southgate's 4,005 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in N11 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Friern Barnet and New Southgate
Five steps, the same on every N11 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In N11, Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions — and gated estate access codes at princess park manor; driveways elsewhere 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 Friern Barnet and New Southgate customers book us
Four things decide whether a N11 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
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. Gated estate access codes at Princess Park Manor; driveways elsewhere.
Booked around your day
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. New Southgate (Great Northern) is the nearest station, so a N11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Friern Barnet and New Southgate walls, not generic walls
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls, which is why London Borough of Barnet kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in N11, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, the reality on the streets around Princess Park Manor.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Friern Barnet and New Southgate
Fixed prices for N11 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. |

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 →

Friern Barnet and New Southgate N11 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Friern Barnet and New Southgate — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
In Friern Barnet and New Southgate (N11) the split is 47% flats to 53% houses over 4,005 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
The owner-occupier-led mix here (60% owned, 30% privately rented) means a N11 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Expect lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls, which is why London Borough of Barnet kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in N11. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, the reality on the streets around Princess Park Manor is the fault we are called back to undo.
Quiet residential grid around the former Colney Hatch asylum, now Princess Park Manor. That character decides the practical detail of bath and shower screen fitting here far more than the borough boundary does. Friern Barnet and New Southgate is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Gated estate access codes at Princess Park Manor; driveways elsewhere. Nearest station is New Southgate (Great 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.
