How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Erith
Five steps, the same on every DA8 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings on these streets — measured on the walk in from Erith (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 Erith customers book us
What follows is specific to Erith: its walls, its access and the paperwork Bexley agents ask for.
Erith walls, not generic walls
We expect solid London stock brick in DA8, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, which is why London Borough of Bexley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in DA8, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Erith gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, and with 21% 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. Riverside estate roads, tower blocks with single lifts and wide suburban streets behind.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Erith
Fixed prices for DA8 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 Erith
The same scope across DA8, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price

Not included

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 →

Erith DA8 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Erith — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
6,005 households sit inside the DA8 neighbourhood covering Erith. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 43% of those homes are flats.
The owner-occupier-led mix here (57% owned, 21% privately rented) means a DA8 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Expect solid London stock brick in DA8, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, which is why London Borough of Bexley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in DA8. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Erith gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, and with 21% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the fault we are called back to undo.
Erith 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 — riverside town with the pier, the marshes and a regenerating centre — which is why a DA8 quote is not a Bexley average.
On access, riverside estate roads, tower blocks with single lifts and wide suburban streets behind — 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 Erith (Southeastern).
