Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Ealing W5 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Ealing, most of them mainly Victorian. 18,588 households sit inside this W5 patch, 63% of them flats, so we quote on access near Ealing Studios and Walpole Park rather than a London average.
How it works
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.
Why choose us
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Ealing, with metal stud partitions between rooms — the reality on the streets around Ealing Studios and Walpole Park in W5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — the pattern behind 18,588 households inside the W5 neighbourhood.
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.
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. Broadway loading windows, permit bays on the villa streets and booked lifts in new blocks.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Ealing Broadway (Elizabeth line, Central, District) is the nearest station, so a W5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
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. |

Scope
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 →

Working in Ealing
Census 2021 puts Ealing at 18,588 households with a median age of 37.2. The mainly Victorian stock is renter-heavy, which is why 37% houses and 63% flats need different handling in W5.
Owner-occupation runs at 45% in Ealing, so alongside the 41% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Ealing substrates run to dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Ealing, with metal stud partitions between rooms — the reality on the streets around Ealing Studios and Walpole Park. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — the pattern behind 18,588 households inside the W5 neighbourhood is the mistake that costs a W5 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Ealing: the Queen of the Suburbs — Walpole Park, the studios and a busy Broadway. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Ealing is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Broadway loading windows, permit bays on the villa streets and booked lifts in new blocks. Nearest station is Ealing Broadway (Elizabeth line, Central, District), 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.

Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Ealing across W5, with 18,588 households on this patch, 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 around Ealing Broadway (Elizabeth line, Central, District). 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 in this 63% flats neighbourhood, with Ealing parking rules in play.
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Ealing's older stock are rarely level along the rim in this 63% flats neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from Ealing Broadway (Elizabeth line, Central, District) — and Ealing Studios and Walpole Park a few streets away, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — the pattern behind 18,588 households inside the W5 neighbourhood around Ealing Broadway (Elizabeth line, Central, District) — and 14% social-rented stock nearby, with 37% of Ealing homes being houses.
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry for Ealing (W5) addresses, with 45% owner-occupation locally. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Ealing bathrooms on the Ealing rounds.
Yes, from £65. With 63% of Ealing 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 63% flats neighbourhood — and 37% of Ealing homes being houses, with 63% of homes here being flats.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show across W5, with a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood.
