Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Kentish Town NW5, explained
This page prices bath and shower screen fitting for Kentish Town NW5 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 24% privately rented and 7,587 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
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Kentish Town
Five steps, the same on every NW5 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In NW5, Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block — and with 36% one-person households in Kentish Town, 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 Kentish Town customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Kentish Town wall.
Kentish Town walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, with 49% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in NW5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Kentish Town stock goes, and with 24% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Insured and documented
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.
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. Seven-day resident bays, steep basement steps and terraces with no rear access.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Kentish Town
Fixed prices for NW5 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 Kentish Town
The same scope across NW5, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Kentish Town: drilling set for porcelain and ceramic tile with a pilot to stop the bit skating off the glaze, sized for the seven-day resident bays, steep basement steps and terraces with no rear access
- On NW5 jobs: screen or door packed and shimmed level even where the bath or tray is not, bath and shower screen fitting prices included
- Standard on Camden bookings: neutral-cure silicone sealant used against tile and enamel, which will not corrode chrome fittings, with 7,587 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Old sealant fully removed and the substrate dried before resealing, checked on every NW5 visit
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 NW5
- Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking, outside the fixed price on Kentish Town bookings
- Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down, and we will say so before the NW5 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 →

Kentish Town NW5 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Kentish Town — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
In Kentish Town (NW5) the split is 86% flats to 14% houses over 7,587 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
Because 24% of Kentish Town is privately rented and 49% socially rented, a lot of NW5 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, with 49% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first behind the plaster in NW5. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Kentish Town stock goes, and with 24% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the fault we are called back to undo.
Kentish Town sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — working high street, Victorian terraces and the Forum's gig traffic — which is why a NW5 quote is not a Camden average.
Seven-day resident bays, steep basement steps and terraces with no rear access. Nearest station is Kentish Town (Northern, Thameslink), 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.
