Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Welling DA16, explained
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Welling, bath and shower screen fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £110. With 19% of Welling's 3,815 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in DA16 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Welling
Five steps, the same on every DA16 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Inter-war and post-war semis with timber stud partitions and cavity outer walls, as the Welling stock goes, and with 16% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does 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 Welling customers book us
What follows is specific to Welling: its walls, its access and the paperwork Bexley agents ask for.
Booked around your day
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Welling (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a DA16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Welling walls, not generic walls
We expect cavity brickwork outside — and timber stud partitions inside — measured on the walk in from Welling (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map in DA16, 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 on these streets — the reality on the streets around Danson Park and Danson House.
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.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Welling
Fixed prices for DA16 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 Welling
The same scope across DA16, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On DA16 jobs: drilling set for porcelain and ceramic tile with a pilot to stop the bit skating off the glaze, agreed on the doorstep in Welling before anything is unpacked
- In Welling: screen or door packed and shimmed level even where the bath or tray is not, timed against the walk in from Welling (Southeastern)
- Neutral-cure silicone sealant used against tile and enamel, which will not corrode chrome fittings, noted on the Welling job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Bexley bookings: old sealant fully removed and the substrate dried before resealing, allowing for the 16% of DA16 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
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 DA16 visit rather than on the day
- Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking, outside the fixed price on Welling bookings
- Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down, quoted separately if you need it arranged in DA16

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 Welling
Welling DA16 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Welling — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
Walk Welling from Danson Park and Danson House outwards and the inter-war pattern is obvious: 19% of the 3,815 households in DA16 live in flats, 81% in houses.
Owner-occupation runs at 78% in Welling, so alongside the 16% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Walls are cavity brickwork outside — and timber stud partitions inside — measured on the walk in from Welling (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Welling is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air on these streets — the reality on the streets around Danson Park and Danson House.
Anyone who knows Welling knows the pattern near Danson Park and Danson House: a long shopping high street with Danson Park's lake just to the east. We plan the DA16 visit around it. Welling is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Driveways on almost every street; the high street has timed bays. Nearest station is Welling (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.

Common questions
Bath and shower screen fitting in Welling DA16 — your questions.
How much does bath and shower screen fitting cost in Welling DA16?
Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Welling across DA16, with 25% one-person households here, 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 around Welling (Southeastern). 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 this 19% flats neighbourhood, with 19% of homes here being flats.
Can you fit a shower screen on an old cast-iron bath in Welling DA16?
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Welling's older stock are rarely level along the rim on Bexley bookings — and this being a short walk from Welling (Southeastern), with 25% 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 four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air on these streets — the reality on the streets around Danson Park and Danson House across DA16 — and Danson Park and Danson House a few streets away, with this being London Borough of Bexley territory.
Do you drill into tiles in DA16 without cracking them?
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry in Welling, with 19% of homes here being flats. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Welling bathrooms around Welling (Southeastern).
I have mould around my old shower screen in Welling — can you just reseal it?
Yes, from £65. With 19% of Welling 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 this 19% flats neighbourhood — and 81% of Welling homes being houses, with this being London Borough of Bexley territory.
Who books bath and shower screen fitting in Welling DA16 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 16% of Welling privately rented and 78% owner-occupied, roughly half the DA16 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on the streets near Danson Park and Danson House, with 78% owner-occupation locally — and Bexley parking rules in play.
How quickly can you reach Welling from your Bexley round?
Danson Park and Danson House is the marker we route to on this side of Bexley, with 6% social-rented stock nearby, and driveways on almost every street; the high street has timed bays. A DA16 slot added to an existing Bexley round usually lands the same week rather than the next on DA16 jobs, with 81% of Welling homes being houses.
Is same-day or evening bath and shower screen fitting available in Bexley?
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show in this 19% flats neighbourhood, with Danson Park and Danson House a few streets away. Welling sits close to Welling (Southeastern), with 81% of Welling homes being houses, so we can usually add a DA16 job to an existing Bexley round at short notice for Welling (DA16) addresses.
