Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Dartmouth Park fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking bath and shower screen fitting near Highgate Cemetery and Parliament Hill Fields? Steep gradients, resident permit bays and long communal stair runs in the conversions, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £110 and are fixed before we travel. Tile is pilot-drilled to stop the glaze cracking before any fixing goes in.


Overview
This page prices bath and shower screen fitting for Dartmouth Park NW5 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 18% privately rented and 3,395 households in total. Work starts at £110, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Camden 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
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. Steep gradients, resident permit bays and long communal stair runs in the conversions.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Tufnell Park (Northern) is the nearest station, so a NW5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, a median age of 42 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in NW5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Dartmouth Park gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 72% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Dartmouth Park actually produces.
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 →

The social-housing-led mix here (45% owned, 18% privately rented) means a NW5 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, a median age of 42 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, so the fixing that matters in Dartmouth Park is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Dartmouth Park gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 72% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Dartmouth Park actually produces.
Steep Victorian streets between Highgate Cemetery and the eastern edge of Hampstead Heath. That character decides the practical detail of bath and shower screen fitting here far more than the borough boundary does. Dartmouth Park sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, steep gradients, resident permit bays and long communal stair runs in the conversions — 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 Tufnell Park (Northern).
