Overview
This page prices bath and shower screen fitting for Mill Hill NW7 specifically: mixed-era stock, 24% privately rented and 9,251 households in total. Work starts at £110, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Barnet permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
Step 1
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
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
Hinges, tracks or channels fixed and packed so the screen itself reads level even when the bath edge does not.
Step 4
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
Door or panel run through its full movement, checked for drips at the seal, and off-cuts and packaging removed.
Why choose us
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. Gravel drives and gated entrances; the Ridgeway is steep and narrow in places.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Mill Hill Broadway (Thameslink) is the nearest station, so a NW7 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect timber stud partitions inside in NW7, cavity brickwork outside — a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in NW7, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in NW7, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — with 17% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
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
| 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
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 →

Working in Mill Hill
Walk Mill Hill from Mill Hill Village and Belmont Farm outwards and the mixed-era pattern is obvious: 37% of the 9,251 households in NW7 live in flats, 63% in houses.
Owner-occupation runs at 59% in Mill Hill, so alongside the 24% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Expect timber stud partitions inside in NW7, cavity brickwork outside — a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here behind the plaster in NW7. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in NW7, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — with 17% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Mill Hill knows the pattern near Mill Hill Village and Belmont Farm: hilltop village, green belt and large detached family houses. We plan the NW7 visit around it. Mill Hill is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: gravel drives and gated entrances; the Ridgeway is steep and narrow in places. Mill Hill Broadway (Thameslink) 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.
