Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in North Finchley N12, explained
This page prices bath and shower screen fitting for North Finchley N12 specifically: inter-war stock, 46% privately rented and 4,717 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
How bath and shower screen fitting works in North Finchley
Five steps, the same on every N12 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In N12, New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard — and mostly driveways; the high road has short loading bays and heavy bus traffic 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 North Finchley customers book us
Four things decide whether a N12 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
North Finchley walls, not generic walls
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, which is why London Borough of Barnet kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in N12, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the North Finchley stock goes, and with 46% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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. Mostly driveways; the high road has short loading bays and heavy bus traffic.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in North Finchley
Fixed prices for N12 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 North Finchley
The same scope across N12, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In North Finchley: drilling set for porcelain and ceramic tile with a pilot to stop the bit skating off the glaze, the way it is done on North Finchley jobs
- On N12 jobs: screen or door packed and shimmed level even where the bath or tray is not, with 63% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Barnet bookings: neutral-cure silicone sealant used against tile and enamel, which will not corrode chrome fittings, arranged with London Borough of Barnet where the kerb needs it
- Old sealant fully removed and the substrate dried before resealing — including bath and shower screen fitting london
Not included
- Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray, which is quoted as a separate repair, and we will say so before the N12 visit rather than on the day
- Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking, handled by London Borough of Barnet or a specialist contractor instead
- Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down, which we refer on to the right trade in North Finchley

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 North Finchley
North Finchley N12 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers North Finchley — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
North Finchley N12 is inter-war and renter-heavy: 63% of homes here are flats and 37% are houses, across 4,717 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 46% private renting against 48% owner-occupied, most N12 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
North Finchley substrates run to with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, which is why London Borough of Barnet kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the North Finchley stock goes, and with 46% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a N12 customer twice.
North Finchley 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 — ballards Lane shops, the artsdepot and quiet residential grids — which is why a N12 quote is not a Barnet average.
Mostly driveways; the high road has short loading bays and heavy bus traffic. Nearest station is Woodside Park (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.

Common questions
Bath and shower screen fitting in North Finchley N12 — your questions.
How much does bath and shower screen fitting cost in North Finchley N12?
Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in North Finchley on this side of Barnet, with 4,717 households on this patch — and this being a short walk from Woodside Park (Northern), 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 in this 63% flats neighbourhood. 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 Woodside Park (Northern), with this being London Borough of Barnet territory.
Can you fit a shower screen on an old cast-iron bath in North Finchley N12?
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in North Finchley's older stock are rarely level along the rim for North Finchley (N12) addresses — and a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood, with 46% of N12 homes being privately rented, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the North Finchley stock goes on the North Finchley rounds, with 7% social-rented stock nearby — and 33% one-person households here, and with 46% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Do you drill into tiles in N12 without cracking them?
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry across N12, with 7% social-rented stock nearby. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in North Finchley bathrooms on the North Finchley rounds, with 37% of North Finchley homes being houses.
I have mould around my old shower screen in North Finchley — can you just reseal it?
Yes, from £65. With 63% of North Finchley 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 around Woodside Park (Northern) — and 7% social-rented stock nearby, with 63% of homes here being flats.
How quickly can you reach North Finchley from your Barnet round?
Artsdepot is the marker we route to, with this being London Borough of Barnet territory, and mostly driveways; the high road has short loading bays and heavy bus traffic on Barnet bookings. A N12 slot added to an existing Barnet round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the North Finchley rounds, with a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood.
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 this 63% flats neighbourhood, with 46% of N12 homes being privately rented. North Finchley sits close to Woodside Park (Northern) for North Finchley (N12) addresses, with Artsdepot a few streets away, so we can usually add a N12 job to an existing Barnet round at short notice.
Do you handle difficult access in North Finchley?
Mostly driveways; the high road has short loading bays and heavy bus traffic on Barnet bookings. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Barnet it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on the North Finchley rounds — and 33% one-person households here, with 7% social-rented stock nearby.
