Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Harlesden fitters · Fixed written pricesBath and shower screen fitting in Harlesden NW10, Brent, from £110.

You get a fixed price in writing, an insured fitter and a tidy finish.
Overview
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Harlesden, bath and shower screen fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £110. With 78% of Harlesden's 5,538 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in NW10 shape the slot length we hold.
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 precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Harlesden, often with surface conduit — measured on the walk in from Harlesden (Bakerloo, Overground) rather than assumed from a map in NW10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in NW10, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — the reality on the streets around The Jubilee Clock.
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. Very busy high street with short loading bays; side streets are narrow and permit-only.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Harlesden (Bakerloo, Overground) is the nearest station, so a NW10 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 Harlesden
Census 2021 puts Harlesden at 5,538 households with a median age of 35.8. The mainly Victorian stock is renter-heavy, which is why 22% houses and 78% flats need different handling in NW10.
Private renting sits at 41% and owner-occupation at 24%; the first group books bath and shower screen fitting at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Harlesden, often with surface conduit — measured on the walk in from Harlesden (Bakerloo, Overground) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Harlesden is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in NW10, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — the reality on the streets around The Jubilee Clock.
Two streets can behave very differently in Harlesden: jubilee Clock, Caribbean food shops and a working high street. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Harlesden is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Very busy high street with short loading bays; side streets are narrow and permit-only. Nearest station is Harlesden (Bakerloo, Overground), 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 Harlesden on NW10 jobs, with 34% 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 on the Harlesden rounds. 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 on Brent bookings, with 24% owner-occupation locally.
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Harlesden's older stock are rarely level along the rim on this side of Brent, with 24% owner-occupation locally — and Brent 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 NW10, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — the reality on the streets around The Jubilee Clock in this 78% flats neighbourhood — and this being a short walk from Harlesden (Bakerloo, Overground), with 35% social-rented stock nearby.
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry around Harlesden (Bakerloo, Overground), with The Jubilee Clock a few streets away. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Harlesden bathrooms on NW10 jobs.
Yes, from £65. With 78% of Harlesden 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 on the streets near The Jubilee Clock, with 41% of NW10 homes being privately rented.
All three. With 41% of Harlesden privately rented and 24% owner-occupied, roughly half the NW10 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on Brent bookings — and 22% of Harlesden homes being houses, with Brent parking rules in play.
The Jubilee Clock is the marker we route to on the Harlesden rounds, with 22% of Harlesden homes being houses, and very busy high street with short loading bays; side streets are narrow and permit-only. A NW10 slot added to an existing Brent round usually lands the same week rather than the next on NW10 jobs, with The Jubilee Clock a few streets away.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show around Harlesden (Bakerloo, Overground), with 41% of NW10 homes being privately rented. Harlesden sits close to Harlesden (Bakerloo, Overground), with The Jubilee Clock a few streets away, so we can usually add a NW10 job to an existing Brent round at short notice on NW10 jobs.
