Fixed prices
| 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. |

Prices are fitting labour with sealant and standard fixings included; the screen or door itself is supplied by you or ordered at cost.

Permits, ULEZ and the Congestion Charge where they apply are itemised.
Working in Ealing
Ealing is built from edwardian villas, 1930s semis, victorian terraces in acton and new crossrail-era blocks at southall and ealing broadway, and the mix changes street by street — Acton (W3), Ealing (W5) and Greenford (UB6) each behave differently on the day.
Parking is the job before the job here: mixed — driveways in ealing and greenford, but acton and southall have tight cpzs and busy narrow shopping streets. Locally that means narrow terraced streets with permit bays, plus new towers requiring booked lifts and broadway loading windows, permit bays on the villa streets and booked lifts in new blocks. Ealing sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.
Leases across Ealing restrict drilling into party and structural walls. We check what the wall actually is before we start, and where consent is needed we say so rather than fixing anyway.
Why it looks like this: victorian villa suburbs built for city commuters, expanded hugely by the great western and the central line.
Scope
Method
Step 1
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
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
Hinges, tracks or channels fixed and packed so the screen itself reads level even when the bath edge does not.
Step 4
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
Door or panel run through its full movement, checked for drips at the seal, and off-cuts and packaging removed.
Coverage
Also in this borough
Fitted and flat-pack wardrobes scribed to the wall and anchored so doors stay square.
Engineered and solid boards fitted floating or glued, with the moisture check done first.
Wardrobes, beds, desks and storage built, levelled and anchored to the wall.
Floating and bracketed shelving into plaster, brick, stud and dot-and-dab.
One fitter for standard windows; two for bent bay tracks or full-height stairwell blinds.
Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Ealing, and the ladder runs up to £65 for the largest job on the table above. 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. The borough is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is no charge to pass on — only ULEZ, which our vans are compliant with.
We cover the whole borough: NW10, UB1, UB2, UB5, UB6, W13, W3, W5 and W7. On the ground that includes Acton, Ealing, Greenford, Hanwell, Northolt and Park Royal.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. West London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
Mixed — driveways in Ealing and Greenford, but Acton and Southall have tight CPZs and busy narrow shopping streets. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Ealing and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Edwardian villas, 1930s semis, Victorian terraces in Acton and new Crossrail-era blocks at Southall and Ealing Broadway is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.
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. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what London Borough of Ealing tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
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. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Ealing postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray, which is quoted as a separate repair, Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking and Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down. If something on that list turns up in Ealing, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

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 →
