Camden · NW1 · Bath and shower screen fitting
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Primrose Hill fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for bath and shower screen fitting in Primrose Hill NW1? We work in Primrose Hill most weeks — pastel terraces around the hill with the best skyline view in north London — and price bath and shower screen fitting against that reality rather than a London average. Fixed written quote from £110, insured fitters, CE-marked toughened glass and every seal tooled clean.
Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Primrose Hill NW1 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Camden, most of them mainly Victorian. 3,616 households sit inside this NW1 patch, 80% of them flats, so we quote on access near Primrose Hill summit 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. Chalk Farm (Northern), five minutes down Regent's Park Road is the nearest station, so a NW1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in NW1, often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 3,616 households inside the NW1 neighbourhood in NW1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Primrose Hill gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, and with 32% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Fitters carry £1m public liability, 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. Very narrow streets, resident bays all week and steep basement stairs on nearly every terrace.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|
| Pivot screen on a bath | £110 | 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 | Quoted per job — free quote | 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 | Quoted per job — free quote | 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 | Quoted per job — free quote | 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 | 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 | Old silicone is cut out, the substrate dried and re-sealed — the single most common reason a bathroom starts to smell of damp. |
Prices are fitting labour with sealant and standard fixings included; the screen or door itself is supplied by you or ordered at cost. Every screen fitted is CE-marked toughened safety glass to BS EN 12150. Tanking or waterproofing repairs behind existing tiles are quoted separately once uncovered. Permits, ULEZ and the Congestion Charge where they apply are itemised.
Scope
Sulltan is the best handyman in London. He is very reliable and professional. I highly recommend.
I booked the services for putting together some new bedroom furniture. This was agreed for 3 pm. I got a call at 3pm to say they were going to be late and be there at 5, they arrived at 5:30. The workmanship and the guys who fitted it was excellent and they were very friendly… Read in full →
Adam and his friend assembled the wardrobe in no time and without any fuss, highly recommended.

Working in Primrose Hill
Primrose Hill NW1 is mainly Victorian and social-housing-led: 80% of homes here are flats and 20% are houses, across 3,616 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 32% private renting against 35% owner-occupied, most NW1 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in NW1, often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 3,616 households inside the NW1 neighbourhood, so the fixing that matters in Primrose Hill is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Primrose Hill gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, and with 32% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Primrose Hill 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 — pastel terraces around the hill with the best skyline view in north London — which is why a NW1 quote is not a Camden average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: very narrow streets, resident bays all week and steep basement stairs on nearly every terrace. Chalk Farm (Northern), five minutes down Regent's Park Road 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 Primrose Hill for Primrose Hill (NW1) addresses, with Primrose Hill summit a few streets away — and 20% of Primrose Hill homes being houses, 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 in this 80% flats neighbourhood. 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 Camden bookings, with this being a short walk from Chalk Farm (Northern), five minutes down Regent's Park Road.
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Primrose Hill's older stock are rarely level along the rim on the Primrose Hill rounds — and 35% owner-occupation locally, with this being a short walk from Chalk Farm (Northern), five minutes down Regent's Park Road, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb.

Yes, from £65.

Primrose Hill summit is the marker we route to on this side of Camden, with 20% of Primrose Hill homes being houses, and very narrow streets, resident bays all week and steep basement stairs on nearly every terrace.
