Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in South Croydon CR2, explained
Bath and shower screen fitting in South Croydon CR2 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Croydon, most of them mainly Victorian. 3,637 households sit inside this CR2 patch, 47% of them flats, so we quote on access near Croham Hurst woods rather than a London average.
How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in South Croydon
Five steps, the same on every CR2 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions on these streets — and steep hills, narrow victorian frontages and driveways further out 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 South Croydon customers book us
Four things decide whether a CR2 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
South Croydon walls, not generic walls
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs, and with 32% one-person households in South Croydon, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in CR2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in CR2, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, where 60% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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. Steep hills, narrow Victorian frontages and driveways further out.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in South Croydon
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 South Croydon
The same scope across CR2, 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 prices
- In South Croydon: neutral-cure silicone sealant used against tile and enamel, which will not corrode chrome fittings, the way it is done on South Croydon jobs
- On CR2 jobs: old sealant fully removed and the substrate dried before resealing, with 47% 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, which we refer on to the right trade in South Croydon
- Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking, quoted separately if you need it arranged in CR2
- Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down, and we will say so before the CR2 visit rather than on the day

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 →

South Croydon CR2 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers South Croydon — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
South Croydon CR2 is mainly Victorian and owner-occupier-led: 47% of homes here are flats and 53% are houses, across 3,637 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 30% private renting against 60% owner-occupied, most CR2 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
South Croydon substrates run to with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs, and with 32% one-person households in South Croydon, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in CR2, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, where 60% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the mistake that costs a CR2 customer twice.
South Croydon 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 — victorian and Edwardian streets on the hill above the town, with Selsdon beyond — which is why a CR2 quote is not a Croydon average.
Steep hills, narrow Victorian frontages and driveways further out. Nearest station is South Croydon (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 South Croydon CR2 — your questions.
How much does bath and shower screen fitting cost in South Croydon CR2?
Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in South Croydon on this side of Croydon — and 60% owner-occupation locally, with this being London Borough of Croydon territory, 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 47% 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 South Croydon (Southern), with 3,637 households on this patch.
Can you fit a shower screen on an old cast-iron bath in South Croydon CR2?
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in South Croydon's older stock are rarely level along the rim — and 30% of CR2 homes being privately rented, with 10% social-rented stock nearby, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in CR2 around South Croydon (Southern), with 3,637 households on this patch, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and 10% social-rented stock nearby, where 60% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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 in South Croydon, with 53% of South Croydon homes being houses. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in South Croydon bathrooms for South Croydon (CR2) addresses, with Croham Hurst woods a few streets away.
I have mould around my old shower screen in South Croydon — can you just reseal it?
Yes, from £65. With 47% of South Croydon 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 across CR2 — and a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood, with 3,637 households on this patch.
How quickly can you reach South Croydon from your Croydon round?
Croham Hurst woods is the marker we route to around South Croydon (Southern), with 30% of CR2 homes being privately rented, and steep hills, narrow Victorian frontages and driveways further out. A CR2 slot added to an existing Croydon round usually lands the same week rather than the next in South Croydon, with this being London Borough of Croydon territory.
Is same-day or evening bath and shower screen fitting available in Croydon?
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show on this side of Croydon, with 32% one-person households here. South Croydon sits close to South Croydon (Southern) in South Croydon, with 3,637 households on this patch, so we can usually add a CR2 job to an existing Croydon round at short notice.
Do you handle difficult access in South Croydon?
Steep hills, narrow Victorian frontages and driveways further out on the South Croydon rounds. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Croydon it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on CR2 jobs — and 47% of homes here being flats, with Croham Hurst woods a few streets away.
