Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Crystal Palace SE19, explained
This page prices bath and shower screen fitting for Crystal Palace SE19 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 27% privately rented and 4,203 households in total. Work starts at £110, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Croydon permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Crystal Palace
Five steps, the same on every SE19 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard on these streets — which is why London Borough of Croydon kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded 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 Crystal Palace customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Crystal Palace wall.
Crystal Palace walls, not generic walls
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, and with 36% one-person households in Crystal Palace, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in SE19, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Crystal Palace gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, and with 27% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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. The steepest streets in south London, narrow triangle junctions and permit bays.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Crystal Palace
Fixed prices for SE19 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 Crystal Palace
The same scope across SE19, 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 Crystal Palace: neutral-cure silicone sealant used against tile and enamel, which will not corrode chrome fittings, the way it is done on Crystal Palace jobs
- On SE19 jobs: old sealant fully removed and the substrate dried before resealing, with 68% 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, handled by London Borough of Croydon or a specialist contractor instead
- Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking, which we refer on to the right trade in Crystal Palace
- Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down, outside the fixed price on Crystal Palace bookings

Sulltan is the best handyman in London. He is very reliable and professional. I highly recommend.
★★★★★Trustpilot
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 →

With 27% private renting against 50% owner-occupied, most SE19 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, and with 36% one-person households in Crystal Palace, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, so the fixing that matters in Crystal Palace is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Crystal Palace gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, and with 27% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Crystal Palace is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — the park's dinosaurs, the transmitter and a triangle of independent shops on the hill — which is why a SE19 quote is not a Croydon average.
On access, the steepest streets in south London, narrow triangle junctions and permit bays — 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.
