Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Bank (Central, Northern, Waterloo & City, DLR) is the nearest station, so a EC3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.

Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Bank and Cornhill EC3, explained
Bath and shower screen fitting in Bank and Cornhill EC3 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in City of London, most of them period conversion. 4,914 households sit inside this EC3 patch, 98% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Royal Exchange rather than a London average.
How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Bank and Cornhill
Five steps, the same on every EC3 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In EC3, New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard — and with 51% one-person households in Bank and Cornhill, 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 Bank and Cornhill customers book us
Four things decide whether a EC3 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Bank and Cornhill walls, not generic walls
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, with 15% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in EC3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Bank and Cornhill stock goes, which is what a 98% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Bank and Cornhill actually produces.
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. Bank junction is closed to most traffic on weekdays — early-morning or weekend access only.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Bank and Cornhill
Fixed prices for EC3 and the rest of City of London. 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 Bank and Cornhill
The same scope across EC3, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Bank and Cornhill: drilling set for porcelain and ceramic tile with a pilot to stop the bit skating off the glaze, timed against the walk in from Bank (Central, Northern, Waterloo & City, DLR)
- On EC3 jobs: screen or door packed and shimmed level even where the bath or tray is not, agreed on the doorstep in Bank and Cornhill before anything is unpacked
- Standard on City of London bookings: neutral-cure silicone sealant used against tile and enamel, which will not corrode chrome fittings, with 4,914 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 EC3 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 EC3
- Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking, outside the fixed price on Bank and Cornhill bookings
- Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down, and we will say so before the EC3 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 →

Bank and Cornhill EC3 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Bank and Cornhill — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
4,914 households sit inside the EC3 neighbourhood covering Bank and Cornhill. The build is period conversion, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 98% of those homes are flats.
Because 48% of Bank and Cornhill is privately rented and 15% socially rented, a lot of EC3 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, with 15% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, so the fixing that matters in Bank and Cornhill is chosen on site — the usual failure here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Bank and Cornhill stock goes, which is what a 98% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Bank and Cornhill actually produces.
Bank and Cornhill 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 — the historic financial heart — Royal Exchange, Mansion House and the alleyways behind Leadenhall — which is why a EC3 quote is not a City of London average.
Bank junction is closed to most traffic on weekdays — early-morning or weekend access only. Nearest station is Bank (Central, Northern, Waterloo & City, DLR), 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.

Screen type and how far out of level the bath, tray or floor sits on the streets near The Royal Exchange. 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 around Bank (Central, Northern, Waterloo & City, DLR), with this being City of London Corporation territory.
Can you fit a shower screen on an old cast-iron bath in Bank and Cornhill EC3?
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Bank and Cornhill's older stock are rarely level along the rim around Bank (Central, Northern, Waterloo & City, DLR), with 98% of homes here being flats — and a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb.

I have mould around my old shower screen in Bank and Cornhill — can you just reseal it?
Yes, from £65.

Do you handle difficult access in Bank and Cornhill?
Bank junction is closed to most traffic on weekdays — early-morning or weekend access only on the streets near The Royal Exchange.

Are your fitters insured for work in EC3?

That paperwork is what most City of London letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat around Bank (Central, Northern, Waterloo & City, DLR), with 48% of EC3 homes being privately rented.
What is not included in bath and shower screen fitting in Bank and Cornhill?
