Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Kingsbury NW9 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Brent, most of them inter-war. 9,689 households sit inside this NW9 patch, 34% of them flats, so we quote on access near Fryent Country Park rather than a London average.
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
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. Driveway parking throughout; the high road has short loading bays only.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Kingsbury (Jubilee) is the nearest station, so a NW9 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — and driveway parking throughout; the high road has short loading bays only in NW9, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in NW9, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — and with 20% one-person households in Kingsbury, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
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
| 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 Kingsbury
Census 2021 puts Kingsbury at 9,689 households with a median age of 36.5. The inter-war stock is owner-occupier-led, which is why 66% houses and 34% flats need different handling in NW9.
Owner-occupation runs at 56% in Kingsbury, so alongside the 32% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Kingsbury substrates run to some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — and driveway parking throughout; the high road has short loading bays only. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in NW9, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — and with 20% one-person households in Kingsbury, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the mistake that costs a NW9 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Kingsbury knows the pattern near Fryent Country Park: metroland semis, a diverse high road and Fryent Country Park's hills. We plan the NW9 visit around it. Kingsbury is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, driveway parking throughout; the high road has short loading bays only — 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 Kingsbury (Jubilee).

Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Kingsbury in this 34% flats neighbourhood, with a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood, 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 Brent. 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 Kingsbury, with 32% of NW9 homes being privately rented.
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Kingsbury's older stock are rarely level along the rim on the streets near Fryent Country Park, with 12% social-rented stock nearby — and 9,689 households on this patch, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is in NW9, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — and with 20% one-person households in Kingsbury, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site across NW9 — and Fryent Country Park a few streets away, with 66% of Kingsbury homes being houses.
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry in Kingsbury, with 32% of NW9 homes being privately rented. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Kingsbury bathrooms on Brent bookings.
Yes, from £65. With 34% of Kingsbury 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 NW9 jobs, with 56% owner-occupation locally — and a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood.
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover, with 9,689 households on this patch — and Brent parking rules in play, 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 on the Kingsbury rounds. That paperwork is what most Brent letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat across NW9, with a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood.
Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray on NW9 jobs — and Brent parking rules in play, with 12% social-rented stock nearby, which is quoted as a separate repair; Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking; Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Kingsbury NW9 price you agree is the price you pay on the streets near Fryent Country Park, with 66% of Kingsbury homes being houses.
All three. With 32% of Kingsbury privately rented and 56% owner-occupied, roughly half the NW9 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on Brent bookings — and this being London Borough of Brent territory, with 32% of NW9 homes being privately rented.
