Overview
This page prices bath and shower screen fitting for Bexley Village DA5 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 14% privately rented and 3,319 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
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
We expect cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside — a median age of 43 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in DA5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in DA5, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — the pattern behind 3,319 households inside the DA5 neighbourhood.
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.
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. Narrow village lanes with a one-way section; driveways on the newer roads.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Bexley (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a DA5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
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 Bexley Village
Census 2021 puts Bexley Village at 3,319 households with a median age of 43.4. The mainly Victorian stock is owner-occupier-led, which is why 79% houses and 21% flats need different handling in DA5.
14% of households rent privately and 81% own, which is why bath and shower screen fitting demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside — a median age of 43 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, so the fixing that matters in Bexley Village is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in DA5, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — the pattern behind 3,319 households inside the DA5 neighbourhood.
Two streets can behave very differently in Bexley Village: a genuine village on the Cray with Hall Place's Tudor gardens next door. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Bexley Village is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Narrow village lanes with a one-way section; driveways on the newer roads. Nearest station is Bexley (Southeastern), 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 Bexley Village in this 21% flats neighbourhood — and this being London Borough of Bexley territory, with Hall Place and Gardens a few streets away, 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 this side of Bexley. 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 across DA5, with 5% social-rented stock nearby.
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Bexley Village's older stock are rarely level along the rim around Bexley (Southeastern), with Bexley parking rules in play, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is in DA5, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — the pattern behind 3,319 households inside the DA5 neighbourhood in Bexley Village — and this being a short walk from Bexley (Southeastern), with 21% of homes here being flats.
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry on DA5 jobs, with 5% social-rented stock nearby. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Bexley Village bathrooms on the Bexley Village rounds, with 81% owner-occupation locally.
Yes, from £65. With 21% of Bexley Village 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 in Bexley Village — and 79% of Bexley Village homes being houses, with a median age of 43 in this neighbourhood.
All three. With 14% of Bexley Village privately rented and 81% owner-occupied, roughly half the DA5 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door in this 21% flats neighbourhood, with 3,319 households on this patch.
Hall Place and Gardens is the marker we route to for Bexley Village (DA5) addresses, with this being London Borough of Bexley territory, and narrow village lanes with a one-way section; driveways on the newer roads. A DA5 slot added to an existing Bexley round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the streets near Hall Place and Gardens, with a median age of 43 in this neighbourhood.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show in Bexley Village, with Bexley parking rules in play. Bexley Village sits close to Bexley (Southeastern), with 26% one-person households here, so we can usually add a DA5 job to an existing Bexley round at short notice on Bexley bookings.
