Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Belvedere DA17, explained
This page prices bath and shower screen fitting for Belvedere DA17 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 29% privately rented and 3,983 households in total. Work starts at £110, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Bexley permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Belvedere
Five steps, the same on every DA17 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions on these streets — measured on the walk in from Belvedere (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map 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 Belvedere customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Belvedere wall.
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. Wide roads with driveways; the riverside industrial roads carry heavy traffic.
Booked around your day
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Belvedere (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a DA17 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Belvedere walls, not generic walls
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs, and with 28% one-person households in Belvedere, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in DA17, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel, where 50% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Belvedere
Fixed prices for DA17 and the rest of Bexley. 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 Belvedere
The same scope across DA17, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Bexley bookings: drilling set for porcelain and ceramic tile with a pilot to stop the bit skating off the glaze, arranged with London Borough of Bexley 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
- In Belvedere: neutral-cure silicone sealant used against tile and enamel, which will not corrode chrome fittings, the way it is done on Belvedere jobs
- On DA17 jobs: old sealant fully removed and the substrate dried before resealing, with 48% 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 Belvedere bookings
- Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking, and we will say so before the DA17 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 Belvedere

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 →

Belvedere DA17 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Belvedere — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
In Belvedere (DA17) the split is 48% flats to 52% houses over 3,983 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
Because 29% of Belvedere is privately rented and 20% socially rented, a lot of DA17 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Belvedere substrates run to with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs, and with 28% one-person households in Belvedere, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel, where 50% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the mistake that costs a DA17 customer twice.
Riverside industry, Lesnes Abbey woods above and quiet residential streets between. That character decides the practical detail of bath and shower screen fitting here far more than the borough boundary does. Belvedere is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, wide roads with driveways; the riverside industrial roads carry heavy traffic — 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 Belvedere (Southeastern).

Common questions
Bath and shower screen fitting in Belvedere DA17 — your questions.
How much does bath and shower screen fitting cost in Belvedere DA17?
Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Belvedere in this 48% flats neighbourhood, with 52% of Belvedere homes being houses, 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 Bexley bookings. 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 in Belvedere, with 29% of DA17 homes being privately rented.
Can you fit a shower screen on an old cast-iron bath in Belvedere DA17?
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Belvedere's older stock are rarely level along the rim for Belvedere (DA17) addresses, with Bexley parking rules in play — and 28% 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 a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel in Belvedere — and this being a short walk from Belvedere (Southeastern), with 28% one-person households here, where 50% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Do you drill into tiles in DA17 without cracking them?
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry around Belvedere (Southeastern), with this being London Borough of Bexley territory. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Belvedere bathrooms.
I have mould around my old shower screen in Belvedere — can you just reseal it?
Yes, from £65. With 48% of Belvedere 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 across DA17 — and a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from Belvedere (Southeastern).
What is not included in bath and shower screen fitting in Belvedere?
Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray on DA17 jobs, with this being London Borough of Bexley territory — and 3,983 households on this patch, 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 Belvedere DA17 price you agree is the price you pay on the streets near Lesnes Abbey Woods, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood.
Who books bath and shower screen fitting in Belvedere DA17 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 29% of Belvedere privately rented and 50% owner-occupied, roughly half the DA17 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door for Belvedere (DA17) addresses — and 50% owner-occupation locally, with Lesnes Abbey Woods a few streets away.
How quickly can you reach Belvedere from your Bexley round?
Lesnes Abbey Woods is the marker we route to in this 48% flats neighbourhood, with 50% owner-occupation locally, and wide roads with driveways; the riverside industrial roads carry heavy traffic. A DA17 slot added to an existing Bexley round usually lands the same week rather than the next on Bexley bookings, with 20% social-rented stock nearby.
