Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Petts Wood BR5, explained
Bath and shower screen fitting in Petts Wood BR5 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Bromley, most of them inter-war. 2,972 households sit inside this BR5 patch, 8% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Willett Memorial Wood rather than a London average.
How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Petts Wood
Five steps, the same on every BR5 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Inter-war and post-war semis with timber stud partitions and cavity outer walls on these streets — and with 22% one-person households in Petts Wood, 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 Petts Wood customers book us
What follows is specific to Petts Wood: 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. Driveways throughout; the parade has short timed loading bays.
Booked around your day
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Petts Wood (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a BR5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Petts Wood walls, not generic walls
We expect cavity brickwork outside — and timber stud partitions inside, the pattern behind 2,972 households inside the BR5 neighbourhood in BR5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Petts Wood gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, which is what a 8% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Petts Wood actually produces.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Petts Wood
Fixed prices for BR5 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 Petts Wood
The same scope across BR5, 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, arranged with London Borough of Bromley where the kerb needs it
- Screen or door packed and shimmed level even where the bath or tray is not — including local bath and shower screen fitting
- In Petts Wood: neutral-cure silicone sealant used against tile and enamel, which will not corrode chrome fittings, the way it is done on Petts Wood jobs
- On BR5 jobs: old sealant fully removed and the substrate dried before resealing, with 8% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
Not included
- Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray, which is quoted as a separate repair, handled by London Borough of Bromley or a specialist contractor instead
- Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking, which we refer on to the right trade in Petts Wood
- Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down, outside the fixed price on Petts Wood bookings

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 →

Walls are cavity brickwork outside — and timber stud partitions inside, the pattern behind 2,972 households inside the BR5 neighbourhood, so the fixing that matters in Petts Wood is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Petts Wood gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, which is what a 8% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Petts Wood actually produces.
A planned 1930s commuter suburb with a conservation-area shopping parade. That character decides the practical detail of bath and shower screen fitting here far more than the borough boundary does. Petts Wood is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, driveways throughout; the parade has short timed loading bays — 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 Petts Wood (Southeastern).

Screen type and how far out of level the bath, tray or floor sits on the streets near The Willett Memorial Wood.

Can you fit a shower screen on an old cast-iron bath in Petts Wood BR5?
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Petts Wood's older stock are rarely level along the rim for Petts Wood (BR5) addresses, with 90% owner-occupation locally — and this being a short walk from Petts Wood (Southeastern), so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is Petts Wood gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air on the Petts Wood rounds, with this being a short walk from Petts Wood (Southeastern) — and Bromley parking rules in play, which is what a 8% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Petts Wood actually produces.
Do you drill into tiles in BR5 without cracking them?
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry in Petts Wood, with Bromley parking rules in play. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Petts Wood bathrooms for Petts Wood (BR5) addresses, with 8% of homes here being flats.
I have mould around my old shower screen in Petts Wood — can you just reseal it?
Yes, from £65. With 8% of Petts Wood 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 Petts Wood — and 22% one-person households here, with The Willett Memorial Wood a few streets away.
How quickly can you reach Petts Wood from your Bromley round?
The Willett Memorial Wood is the marker we route to around Petts Wood (Southeastern), with this being a short walk from Petts Wood (Southeastern), and driveways throughout; the parade has short timed loading bays. A BR5 slot added to an existing Bromley round usually lands the same week rather than the next in Petts Wood, with 90% owner-occupation locally.
Is same-day or evening bath and shower screen fitting available in Bromley?

Petts Wood sits close to Petts Wood (Southeastern) for Petts Wood (BR5) addresses, with this being a short walk from Petts Wood (Southeastern), so we can usually add a BR5 job to an existing Bromley round at short notice.
Do you handle difficult access in Petts Wood?

Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Bromley it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on the streets near The Willett Memorial Wood — and 22% one-person households here, with 2% social-rented stock nearby.
