Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Penge SE20, explained
This page prices bath and shower screen fitting for Penge SE20 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 24% privately rented and 8,101 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
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Penge
Five steps, the same on every SE20 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — and with 35% one-person households in Penge, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site 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 Penge customers book us
What follows is specific to Penge: its walls, its access and the paperwork Bromley agents ask for.
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. Steep approaches from Crystal Palace, narrow terraced streets and permit bays.
Booked around your day
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Penge East (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE20 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Penge walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 8,101 households inside the SE20 neighbourhood in SE20, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Penge gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, the reality on the streets around The Watermen's Almshouses.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Penge
Fixed prices for SE20 and the rest of Bromley. 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 Penge
The same scope across SE20, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Bromley bookings: drilling set for porcelain and ceramic tile with a pilot to stop the bit skating off the glaze, allowing for the 24% of SE20 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 Penge job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Penge: neutral-cure silicone sealant used against tile and enamel, which will not corrode chrome fittings, timed against the walk in from Penge East (Southeastern)
- On SE20 jobs: old sealant fully removed and the substrate dried before resealing, agreed on the doorstep in Penge before anything is unpacked
Not included
- Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray, which is quoted as a separate repair, outside the fixed price on Penge bookings
- Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking, and we will say so before the SE20 visit rather than on the day
- Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down, which we refer on to the right trade in Penge

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 →

Penge SE20 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Penge — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
Penge SE20 is mainly Victorian and social-housing-led: 60% of homes here are flats and 40% are houses, across 8,101 households (ONS Census 2021).
The social-housing-led mix here (43% owned, 24% privately rented) means a SE20 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Penge substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 8,101 households inside the SE20 neighbourhood. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Penge gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, the reality on the streets around The Watermen's Almshouses is the mistake that costs a SE20 customer twice.
Victorian terraces and almshouses below Crystal Palace, with a reviving high street. That character decides the practical detail of bath and shower screen fitting here far more than the borough boundary does. Penge is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: steep approaches from Crystal Palace, narrow terraced streets and permit bays. Penge East (Southeastern) is the nearest station, 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 Penge SE20 — your questions.
How much does bath and shower screen fitting cost in Penge SE20?
Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Penge on the streets near The Watermen's Almshouses, with this being London Borough of Bromley territory, 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 across SE20. 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 Penge rounds, with 8,101 households on this patch.
Can you fit a shower screen on an old cast-iron bath in Penge SE20?
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Penge's older stock are rarely level along the rim on Bromley bookings — and Bromley parking rules in play, with 33% 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 Penge gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, the reality on the streets around The Watermen's Almshouses on the streets near The Watermen's Almshouses — and 43% owner-occupation locally, with 8,101 households on this patch.
Do you drill into tiles in SE20 without cracking them?
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry in Penge, with Bromley parking rules in play. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Penge bathrooms for Penge (SE20) addresses.
I have mould around my old shower screen in Penge — can you just reseal it?
Yes, from £65. With 60% of Penge 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 around Penge East (Southeastern) — and Bromley parking rules in play, with this being London Borough of Bromley territory.
What is not included in bath and shower screen fitting in Penge?
Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray on the Penge rounds, with a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood — and 60% of homes here being flats, 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 Penge SE20 price you agree is the price you pay for Penge (SE20) addresses, with 8,101 households on this patch.
Who books bath and shower screen fitting in Penge SE20 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 24% of Penge privately rented and 43% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE20 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door across SE20 — and 33% social-rented stock nearby, with 40% of Penge homes being houses.
How quickly can you reach Penge from your Bromley round?
The Watermen's Almshouses is the marker we route to across SE20, with Bromley parking rules in play, and steep approaches from Crystal Palace, narrow terraced streets and permit bays. A SE20 slot added to an existing Bromley round usually lands the same week rather than the next on this side of Bromley, with 60% of homes here being flats.
