Camden · N1C · Bath and shower screen fitting
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local King's Cross fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide bath and shower screen fitting in King's Cross N1C for houses and flats around Granary Square and the Coal Drops. From £110, quoted in writing before the visit, with 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 Tile is pilot-drilled to stop the glaze cracking before any fixing goes in.
Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in King's Cross N1C is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Camden, most of them period conversion. 3,817 households sit inside this N1C patch, 97% of them flats, so we quote on access near Granary Square and the Coal Drops rather than a London average.
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
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. King's Cross St Pancras (six lines, National Rail, Eurostar) is the nearest station, so a N1C visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in N1C, often with surface conduit, a median age of 30 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in N1C, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is King's Cross gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 13% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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. Estate loading bays booked through building management; goods lifts have strict time slots.
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 →

Working in King's Cross
3,817 households sit inside the N1C neighbourhood covering King's Cross. The build is period conversion, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 97% of those homes are flats.
The social-housing-led mix here (13% owned, 22% privately rented) means a N1C diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in N1C, often with surface conduit, a median age of 30 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here behind the plaster in N1C. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why King's Cross gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 13% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the fault we are called back to undo.
King's Cross 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 — coal Drops Yard, Granary Square and the biggest new central district built in a generation — which is why a N1C quote is not a Camden average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: estate loading bays booked through building management; goods lifts have strict time slots. King's Cross St Pancras (six lines, National Rail, Eurostar) 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.

Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in King's Cross on N1C jobs — and this being a short walk from King's Cross St Pancras (six lines, National Rail, Eurostar), with a median age of 30 in this neighbourhood, 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 the streets near Granary Square and the Coal Drops.

Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in King's Cross's older stock are rarely level along the rim around King's Cross St Pancras (six lines, National Rail, Eurostar) — and 3,817 households on this patch, with 13% owner-occupation locally, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is King's Cross gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on N1C jobs — and 97% of homes here being flats, with this being a short walk from King's Cross St Pancras (six lines, National Rail, Eurostar), where 13% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry in this 97% flats neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from King's Cross St Pancras (six lines, National Rail, Eurostar).

Yes, from £65. With 97% of King's Cross 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 on the King's Cross rounds — and this being London Borough of Camden territory, with 36% one-person households here.
