Overview
This page prices bath and shower screen fitting for Bickley BR1 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 18% privately rented and 6,738 households in total. Work starts at £110, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Bromley permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
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 cavity brickwork outside — and timber stud partitions inside — and with 18% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in BR1, 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 pattern behind 6,738 households inside the BR1 neighbourhood.
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. Long gravel drives, mature trees limiting height and wide easy roads.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Bickley (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a BR1 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 Bickley
Census 2021 puts Bickley at 6,738 households with a median age of 41.2. The mainly Victorian stock is owner-occupier-led, which is why 75% houses and 25% flats need different handling in BR1.
Owner-occupation runs at 74% in Bickley, so alongside the 18% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Expect cavity brickwork outside — and timber stud partitions inside — and with 18% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does behind the plaster in BR1. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air on these streets — the pattern behind 6,738 households inside the BR1 neighbourhood is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Bickley: large Victorian and Edwardian houses on wide avenues east of Bromley. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Bickley is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Long gravel drives, mature trees limiting height and wide easy roads. Nearest station is Bickley (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.

Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Bickley, with 25% of homes here being flats, 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 Bickley (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 on the streets near Bickley Park, with a median age of 41 in this neighbourhood.
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Bickley's older stock are rarely level along the rim on BR1 jobs — and 18% of BR1 homes being privately rented, with 8% social-rented stock nearby, 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 pattern behind 6,738 households inside the BR1 neighbourhood in this 25% flats neighbourhood — and 75% of Bickley homes being houses, with 18% of BR1 homes being privately rented.
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry for Bickley (BR1) addresses, with 74% owner-occupation locally. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Bickley bathrooms on the Bickley rounds.
Yes, from £65. With 25% of Bickley 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 BR1 jobs — and this being London Borough of Bromley territory, with 28% one-person households here.
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover, with 74% owner-occupation locally, 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 across BR1 — and 18% of BR1 homes being privately rented. That paperwork is what most Bromley letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on the streets near Bickley Park, with this being a short walk from Bickley (Southeastern).
Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray across BR1, with 25% of homes here being flats — and a median age of 41 in this neighbourhood, 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 Bickley BR1 price you agree is the price you pay on this side of Bromley, with this being London Borough of Bromley territory.
All three. With 18% of Bickley privately rented and 74% owner-occupied, roughly half the BR1 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door across BR1 — and 8% social-rented stock nearby, with Bromley parking rules in play.
