Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Sidcup DA15, explained
Bath and shower screen fitting in Sidcup DA15 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Bexley, most of them inter-war. 8,640 households sit inside this DA15 patch, 46% of them flats, so we quote on access near Sidcup Place and Lamorbey Park rather than a London average.
How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Sidcup
Five steps, the same on every DA15 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Inter-war and post-war semis with timber stud partitions and cavity outer walls on these streets — the pattern behind 8,640 households inside the DA15 neighbourhood 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 Sidcup customers book us
Four things decide whether a DA15 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Sidcup walls, not generic walls
We expect timber stud partitions inside; locally that also means cavity brickwork outside, and driveways throughout; the high street is a red route with short bays in DA15, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Sidcup gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, and with 20% 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. Driveways throughout; the high street is a red route with short bays.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Sidcup
Fixed prices for DA15 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 Sidcup
The same scope across DA15, 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, allowing for the 20% of DA15 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Screen or door packed and shimmed level even where the bath or tray is not, noted on the Sidcup job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Sidcup: neutral-cure silicone sealant used against tile and enamel, which will not corrode chrome fittings, timed against the walk in from Sidcup (Southeastern)
- On DA15 jobs: old sealant fully removed and the substrate dried before resealing, agreed on the doorstep in Sidcup before anything is unpacked
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 DA15 visit rather than on the day
- Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking, handled by London Borough of Bexley or a specialist contractor instead
- Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down, quoted separately if you need it arranged in DA15

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 →

Sidcup DA15 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Sidcup — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
In Sidcup (DA15) the split is 46% flats to 54% houses over 8,640 households, and the stock is inter-war.
The owner-occupier-led mix here (68% owned, 20% privately rented) means a DA15 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Expect timber stud partitions inside; locally that also means cavity brickwork outside, and driveways throughout; the high street is a red route with short bays behind the plaster in DA15. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Sidcup gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, and with 20% 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.
Sidcup 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 — a busy high street, Lamorbey Park and the Rose Bruford campus — which is why a DA15 quote is not a Bexley average.
On access, driveways throughout; the high street is a red route with short bays — 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 Sidcup (Southeastern).
