Croydon · CR0 · Bath and shower screen fitting
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Addiscombe fitters · Fixed written pricesBath and shower screen fitting in Addiscombe CR0, Croydon, from £110. Tree-lined Edwardian streets and a small parade east of central Croydon, which is why our CR0 quotes account for tram-line crossings, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the tram stops. You get a fixed price in writing, an insured fitter and a tidy finish.
Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Addiscombe CR0 is a fixed-price visit for mixed-tenure homes in Croydon, most of them mainly Edwardian. 11,026 households sit inside this CR0 patch, 42% of them flats, so we quote on access near Ashburton Park 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
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. Tram-line crossings, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the tram stops.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Addiscombe (Tramlink) is the nearest station, so a CR0 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — which is what a 42% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Addiscombe actually produces in CR0, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — measured on the walk in from Addiscombe (Tramlink) rather than assumed from a map.
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.
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 Addiscombe
The CR0 stock around Ashburton Park is mainly Edwardian. ONS records 42% flats, 58% houses and 11,026 households in Addiscombe.
Owner-occupation runs at 54% in Addiscombe, so alongside the 33% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — which is what a 42% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Addiscombe actually produces behind the plaster in CR0. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — measured on the walk in from Addiscombe (Tramlink) rather than assumed from a map is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Addiscombe knows the pattern near Ashburton Park: tree-lined Edwardian streets and a small parade east of central Croydon. We plan the CR0 visit around it. Addiscombe is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, tram-line crossings, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the tram stops — 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 Addiscombe (Tramlink).

Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Addiscombe in this 42% flats neighbourhood, with 54% owner-occupation locally, 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 for Addiscombe (CR0) addresses. 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 the Addiscombe rounds, with 58% of Addiscombe homes being houses.
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Addiscombe's older stock are rarely level along the rim on Croydon bookings, with this being London Borough of Croydon territory — and 11,026 households on this patch, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — measured on the walk in from Addiscombe (Tramlink) rather than assumed from a map in Addiscombe — and this being London Borough of Croydon territory, with 30% one-person households here.
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry on Croydon bookings, with 42% of homes here being flats. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Addiscombe bathrooms on the streets near Ashburton Park.
Yes, from £65. With 42% of Addiscombe 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 streets near Ashburton Park — and Croydon parking rules in play, with 11,026 households on this patch.
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover, with 42% of homes here being flats — and this being a short walk from Addiscombe (Tramlink), 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 on the streets near Ashburton Park. That paperwork is what most Croydon letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on CR0 jobs, with Croydon parking rules in play.
Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray on CR0 jobs, with 58% of Addiscombe homes being houses — and a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood, which is quoted as a separate repair; Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking; Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Addiscombe CR0 price you agree is the price you pay on the streets near Ashburton Park, with Ashburton Park a few streets away.
All three. With 33% of Addiscombe privately rented and 54% owner-occupied, roughly half the CR0 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door around Addiscombe (Tramlink) — and 54% owner-occupation locally, with this being a short walk from Addiscombe (Tramlink).
