Barnet · N20 · Bath and shower screen fitting
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Totteridge fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for bath and shower screen fitting in Totteridge N20? We work in Totteridge most weeks — green-belt lane of large houses, paddocks and a village pond — and price bath and shower screen fitting against that reality rather than a London average. Fixed written quote from £110, insured fitters, CE-marked toughened glass and every seal tooled clean.
Overview
This page prices bath and shower screen fitting for Totteridge N20 specifically: mixed-era stock, 14% privately rented and 3,519 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
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Totteridge & Whetstone (Northern), at the foot of Totteridge Lane is the nearest station, so a N20 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect timber stud partitions inside in Totteridge, cavity brickwork outside, and with 14% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in N20, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Totteridge stock goes, a median age of 44 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Fitters carry £1m 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.
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. Long gravel drives, narrow lanes without passing places and gated entrances.
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 had a huge, heavy Ikea, mirrored wardrobe to re-assemble. Adam was very polite, carefully got on with the job (without instruction guide); gave me helpful tips and also repaired some of the parts that had got broken over time. I thought this company was very professional and would certainly recommend.
I booked the services for putting together some new bedroom furniture. This was agreed for 3 pm. I got a call at 3pm to say they were going to be late and be there at 5, they arrived at 5:30. The workmanship and the guys who fitted it was excellent and they were very friendly… Read in full →

Working in Totteridge
3,519 households sit inside the N20 neighbourhood covering Totteridge. The build is mixed-era, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 12% of those homes are flats.
Because 14% of Totteridge is privately rented and 11% socially rented, a lot of N20 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are timber stud partitions inside in Totteridge, cavity brickwork outside, and with 14% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, so the fixing that matters in Totteridge is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Totteridge stock goes, a median age of 44 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Totteridge 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 — green-belt lane of large houses, paddocks and a village pond — which is why a N20 quote is not a Barnet average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: long gravel drives, narrow lanes without passing places and gated entrances. Totteridge & Whetstone (Northern), at the foot of Totteridge Lane 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.

Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Totteridge around Totteridge & Whetstone (Northern), at the foot of Totteridge Lane, with 11% social-rented stock nearby, 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 across N20. 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 the Totteridge rounds, with this being a short walk from Totteridge & Whetstone (Northern), at the foot of Totteridge Lane.
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Totteridge's older stock are rarely level along the rim on Barnet bookings, with 22% one-person households here — and a median age of 44 in this neighbourhood, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Totteridge stock goes, a median age of 44 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here on the streets near Totteridge Green and the village pond — and 85% of Totteridge homes being houses, with 14% of N20 homes being privately rented.
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry on N20 jobs, with this being London Borough of Barnet territory. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Totteridge bathrooms around Totteridge & Whetstone (Northern), at the foot of Totteridge Lane.
Yes, from £65. With 12% of Totteridge 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 85% of Totteridge homes being houses, with this being a short walk from Totteridge & Whetstone (Northern), at the foot of Totteridge Lane.
Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray on N20 jobs, with Barnet parking rules in play — and Totteridge Green and the village pond a few streets away, 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 Totteridge N20 price you agree is the price you pay around Totteridge & Whetstone (Northern), at the foot of Totteridge Lane, with 12% of homes here being flats.
All three. With 14% of Totteridge privately rented and 75% owner-occupied, roughly half the N20 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on Barnet bookings — and 11% social-rented stock nearby, with 3,519 households on this patch.
Totteridge Green and the village pond is the marker we route to for Totteridge (N20) addresses, with 11% social-rented stock nearby, and long gravel drives, narrow lanes without passing places and gated entrances. A N20 slot added to an existing Barnet round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the streets near Totteridge Green and the village pond, with 85% of Totteridge homes being houses.
