Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Sanderstead CR2, explained
Bath and shower screen fitting in Sanderstead CR2 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Croydon, most of them inter-war. 3,008 households sit inside this CR2 patch, 15% of them flats, so we quote on access near Sanderstead Pond and the Gruffy rather than a London average.
How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Sanderstead
Five steps, the same on every CR2 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In CR2, Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings — and wide suburban roads and driveways; only the hill approaches are tight 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 Sanderstead customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Sanderstead wall.
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. Wide suburban roads and driveways; only the hill approaches are tight.
Booked around your day
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Sanderstead (Southern) is the nearest station, so a CR2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Sanderstead walls, not generic walls
We expect solid London stock brick in CR2, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, which is what a 15% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Sanderstead actually produces in CR2, 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, as the Sanderstead stock goes, the pattern behind 3,008 households inside the CR2 neighbourhood.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Sanderstead
Fixed prices for CR2 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 Sanderstead
The same scope across CR2, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Sanderstead: drilling set for porcelain and ceramic tile with a pilot to stop the bit skating off the glaze, the way it is done on Sanderstead jobs
- On CR2 jobs: screen or door packed and shimmed level even where the bath or tray is not, with 15% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Croydon bookings: neutral-cure silicone sealant used against tile and enamel, which will not corrode chrome fittings, arranged with London Borough of Croydon where the kerb needs it
- Old sealant fully removed and the substrate dried before resealing — including bath and shower screen fitting
Not included
- Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray, which is quoted as a separate repair, and we will say so before the CR2 visit rather than on the day
- Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking, handled by London Borough of Croydon or a specialist contractor instead
- Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down, which we refer on to the right trade in Sanderstead

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 →

Sanderstead CR2 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Sanderstead — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
Sanderstead CR2 is inter-war and owner-occupier-led: 15% of homes here are flats and 85% are houses, across 3,008 households (ONS Census 2021).
The owner-occupier-led mix here (88% owned, 10% privately rented) means a CR2 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are solid London stock brick in CR2, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, which is what a 15% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Sanderstead actually produces, so the fixing that matters in Sanderstead is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Sanderstead stock goes, the pattern behind 3,008 households inside the CR2 neighbourhood.
Hilltop village with a green, a church and wide views over the downs. That character decides the practical detail of bath and shower screen fitting here far more than the borough boundary does. Sanderstead is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Wide suburban roads and driveways; only the hill approaches are tight. Nearest station is Sanderstead (Southern), 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.

Common questions
Bath and shower screen fitting in Sanderstead CR2 — your questions.
How much does bath and shower screen fitting cost in Sanderstead CR2?
Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Sanderstead on this side of Croydon, with Croydon parking rules in play, 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 15% 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 around Sanderstead (Southern), with 3,008 households on this patch.
Can you fit a shower screen on an old cast-iron bath in Sanderstead CR2?
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Sanderstead's older stock are rarely level along the rim on this side of Croydon, with Sanderstead Pond and the Gruffy a few streets away — and 21% one-person households here, 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, as the Sanderstead stock goes, the pattern behind 3,008 households inside the CR2 neighbourhood in Sanderstead, with 88% owner-occupation locally — and 15% of homes here being flats.
Do you drill into tiles in CR2 without cracking them?
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry around Sanderstead (Southern), with Sanderstead Pond and the Gruffy a few streets away. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Sanderstead bathrooms.
I have mould around my old shower screen in Sanderstead — can you just reseal it?
Yes, from £65. With 15% of Sanderstead 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 in this 15% flats neighbourhood, with 88% owner-occupation locally — and this being London Borough of Croydon territory.
What is not included in bath and shower screen fitting in Sanderstead?
Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray in this 15% flats neighbourhood — and this being London Borough of Croydon territory, with 88% owner-occupation locally, 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 Sanderstead CR2 price you agree is the price you pay on Croydon bookings, with 2% social-rented stock nearby.
Who books bath and shower screen fitting in Sanderstead CR2 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 10% of Sanderstead privately rented and 88% owner-occupied, roughly half the CR2 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on the Sanderstead rounds — and this being London Borough of Croydon territory, with a median age of 45 in this neighbourhood.
How quickly can you reach Sanderstead from your Croydon round?
Sanderstead Pond and the Gruffy is the marker we route to for Sanderstead (CR2) addresses, with Croydon parking rules in play, and wide suburban roads and driveways; only the hill approaches are tight. A CR2 slot added to an existing Croydon round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the streets near Sanderstead Pond and the Gruffy, with 15% of homes here being flats.
