Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Coulsdon CR5, explained
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Coulsdon South, bath and shower screen fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £110. With 22% of Coulsdon's 6,754 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in CR5 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Coulsdon
Five steps, the same on every CR5 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings on these streets — and with 26% one-person households in Coulsdon, 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 Coulsdon customers book us
Four things decide whether a CR5 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
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. Steep downland roads, easy driveway parking and a narrow high street.
Booked around your day
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Coulsdon South (Southern) is the nearest station, so a CR5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Coulsdon walls, not generic walls
We expect solid London stock brick in Coulsdon, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, which is why London Borough of Croydon kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in CR5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Coulsdon gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, where 74% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Coulsdon
Fixed prices for CR5 and the rest of Croydon. 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 Coulsdon
The same scope across CR5, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Croydon bookings: drilling set for porcelain and ceramic tile with a pilot to stop the bit skating off the glaze, arranged with London Borough of Croydon where the kerb needs it
- Screen or door packed and shimmed level even where the bath or tray is not — including bath and shower screen fitting
- In Coulsdon: neutral-cure silicone sealant used against tile and enamel, which will not corrode chrome fittings, the way it is done on Coulsdon jobs
- On CR5 jobs: old sealant fully removed and the substrate dried before resealing, with 22% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
Not included
- Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray, which is quoted as a separate repair, outside the fixed price on Coulsdon bookings
- Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking, and we will say so before the CR5 visit rather than on the day
- Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down, which we refer on to the right trade in Coulsdon

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 →

Coulsdon CR5 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Coulsdon — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
6,754 households sit inside the CR5 neighbourhood covering Coulsdon. The build is inter-war, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 22% of those homes are flats.
With 12% private renting against 74% owner-occupied, most CR5 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Coulsdon substrates run to solid London stock brick in Coulsdon, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, which is why London Borough of Croydon kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Coulsdon gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, where 74% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the mistake that costs a CR5 customer twice.
Downland village on the North Downs edge, with Farthing Downs above the town. That character decides the practical detail of bath and shower screen fitting here far more than the borough boundary does. Coulsdon is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: steep downland roads, easy driveway parking and a narrow high street. Coulsdon South (Southern) 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.
