Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Thornton Heath CR7, explained
Bath and shower screen fitting in Thornton Heath CR7 is a fixed-price visit for mixed-tenure homes in Croydon, most of them mainly Victorian. 12,862 households sit inside this CR7 patch, 38% of them flats, so we quote on access near Selhurst Park rather than a London average.
How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Thornton Heath
Five steps, the same on every CR7 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In CR7, Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings — the pattern behind 12,862 households inside the CR7 neighbourhood 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 Thornton Heath customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Thornton Heath wall.
Thornton Heath walls, not generic walls
We expect solid London stock brick in CR7, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, and with 29% one-person households in Thornton Heath, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in CR7, 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 Thornton Heath stock goes, where 54% 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. Match-day parking bans, high-street loading windows and narrow terraced streets.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Thornton Heath
Fixed prices for CR7 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 Thornton Heath
The same scope across CR7, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Thornton Heath: drilling set for porcelain and ceramic tile with a pilot to stop the bit skating off the glaze, the way it is done on Thornton Heath jobs
- On CR7 jobs: screen or door packed and shimmed level even where the bath or tray is not, with 38% 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 CR7 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 Thornton Heath

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 →

Thornton Heath CR7 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Thornton Heath — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
12,862 households sit inside the CR7 neighbourhood covering Thornton Heath. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile mixed-tenure, and 38% of those homes are flats.
Because 31% of Thornton Heath is privately rented and 15% socially rented, a lot of CR7 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are solid London stock brick in CR7, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, and with 29% one-person households in Thornton Heath, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, so the fixing that matters in Thornton Heath is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Thornton Heath stock goes, where 54% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Thornton Heath 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 — a busy high street, the pond junction and Selhurst Park's match-day crowds — which is why a CR7 quote is not a Croydon average.
Match-day parking bans, high-street loading windows and narrow terraced streets. Nearest station is Thornton Heath (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 Thornton Heath CR7 — your questions.
How much does bath and shower screen fitting cost in Thornton Heath CR7?
Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Thornton Heath on the streets near Selhurst Park — and Selhurst Park a few streets away, 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 across CR7. 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 Thornton Heath rounds, with 31% of CR7 homes being privately rented.
Can you fit a shower screen on an old cast-iron bath in Thornton Heath CR7?
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Thornton Heath's older stock are rarely level along the rim on the Thornton Heath rounds, with 29% one-person households here — and 31% of CR7 homes being privately rented, 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 Thornton Heath stock goes across CR7 — and 54% owner-occupation locally, with this being London Borough of Croydon territory, where 54% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Do you drill into tiles in CR7 without cracking them?
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry on the streets near Selhurst Park, with this being London Borough of Croydon territory. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Thornton Heath bathrooms across CR7, with a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood.
I have mould around my old shower screen in Thornton Heath — can you just reseal it?
Yes, from £65. With 38% of Thornton Heath 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 Thornton Heath rounds — and a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood, with Selhurst Park a few streets away.
Do you handle difficult access in Thornton Heath?
Match-day parking bans, high-street loading windows and narrow terraced streets on the streets near Selhurst Park. 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 Croydon bookings — and a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood, with Selhurst Park a few streets away. On Thornton Heath jobs we confirm it when the slot is booked, not on the day.
Are your fitters insured for work in CR7?
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover, with 62% of Thornton Heath homes being houses, 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 for Thornton Heath (CR7) addresses. That paperwork is what most Croydon letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat in Thornton Heath, with 15% social-rented stock nearby.
What is not included in bath and shower screen fitting in Thornton Heath?
Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray on the streets near Selhurst Park — and Selhurst Park a few streets away, with 31% of CR7 homes being privately rented, 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 Thornton Heath CR7 price you agree is the price you pay across CR7, with this being a short walk from Thornton Heath (Southern).
