How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Hampstead
Five steps, the same on every NW3 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In NW3, Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions — measured on the walk in from Hampstead (Northern) rather than assumed from a map 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 Hampstead customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Hampstead wall.
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, narrow lanes where a 3.5t Luton is the practical maximum; several streets need a shuttle from Whitestone Pond.
Booked around your day
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Hampstead (Northern) is the nearest station, so a NW3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Hampstead walls, not generic walls
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs, with 17% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in NW3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Hampstead
Fixed prices for NW3 and the rest of Camden. 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 Hampstead
The same scope across NW3, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Hampstead: drilling set for porcelain and ceramic tile with a pilot to stop the bit skating off the glaze, timed against the walk in from Hampstead (Northern)
- On NW3 jobs: screen or door packed and shimmed level even where the bath or tray is not, agreed on the doorstep in Hampstead before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Camden bookings: neutral-cure silicone sealant used against tile and enamel, which will not corrode chrome fittings, allowing for the 45% of NW3 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Old sealant fully removed and the substrate dried before resealing, noted on the Hampstead job sheet so the next visit starts from it
Not included
- Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray, which is quoted as a separate repair, quoted separately if you need it arranged in NW3
- Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking, outside the fixed price on Hampstead bookings
- Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down, and we will say so before the NW3 visit rather than on the day

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 →

Hampstead NW3 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Hampstead — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
Hampstead NW3 is Georgian and early Victorian and renter-heavy: 84% of homes here are flats and 17% are houses, across 11,433 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 45% of Hampstead is privately rented and 17% socially rented, a lot of NW3 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs, with 17% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, so the fixing that matters in Hampstead is chosen on site — the usual failure here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Georgian hill village of narrow lanes, artists' houses and the Heath on its doorstep. That character decides the practical detail of bath and shower screen fitting here far more than the borough boundary does. Hampstead 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, narrow lanes where a 3.5t Luton is the practical maximum; several streets need a shuttle from Whitestone Pond — 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 Hampstead (Northern).

Common questions
Bath and shower screen fitting in Hampstead NW3 — your questions.
How much does bath and shower screen fitting cost in Hampstead NW3?
Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Hampstead across NW3, with 37% one-person households here, 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 Camden. 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 NW3 jobs, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood.
Can you fit a shower screen on an old cast-iron bath in Hampstead NW3?
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Hampstead's older stock are rarely level along the rim on the streets near Hampstead Heath and Kenwood House, with 45% of NW3 homes being privately rented, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here on NW3 jobs — and 39% owner-occupation locally, with 17% social-rented stock nearby.
Do you drill into tiles in NW3 without cracking them?
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry on NW3 jobs, with 39% owner-occupation locally. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Hampstead bathrooms on the streets near Hampstead Heath and Kenwood House.
I have mould around my old shower screen in Hampstead — can you just reseal it?
Yes, from £65. With 84% of Hampstead 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 for Hampstead (NW3) addresses — and 37% one-person households here, with this being a short walk from Hampstead (Northern).
How quickly can you reach Hampstead from your Camden round?
5t Luton is the practical maximum; several streets need a shuttle from Whitestone Pond on the Hampstead rounds. A NW3 slot added to an existing Camden round usually lands the same week rather than the next on NW3 jobs, with 45% of NW3 homes being privately rented.
Is same-day or evening bath and shower screen fitting available in Camden?
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show on the Hampstead rounds, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood. Hampstead sits close to Hampstead (Northern), with this being London Borough of Camden territory, so we can usually add a NW3 job to an existing Camden round at short notice on Camden bookings.
Do you handle difficult access in Hampstead?
5t Luton is the practical maximum; several streets need a shuttle from Whitestone Pond on the streets near Hampstead Heath and Kenwood House. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Camden it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on Camden bookings — and 45% of NW3 homes being privately rented, with Camden parking rules in play.
