Ealing · W7 · Bath and shower screen fitting
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Hanwell fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide bath and shower screen fitting in Hanwell W7 for houses and flats around The Wharncliffe Viaduct. From £110, quoted in writing before the visit, with 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 Tile is pilot-drilled to stop the glaze cracking before any fixing goes in.


Overview
This page prices bath and shower screen fitting for Hanwell W7 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 31% privately rented and 3,219 households in total. Work starts at £110, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Ealing permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
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
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. Narrow bridges over the Brent, permit bays near the station and driveways elsewhere.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Hanwell (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a W7 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, and narrow bridges over the brent, permit bays near the station and driveways elsewhere in W7, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Hanwell gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, the reality on the streets around The Wharncliffe Viaduct.
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 Hanwell
3,219 households sit inside the W7 neighbourhood covering Hanwell. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile mixed-tenure, and 45% of those homes are flats.
Because 31% of Hanwell is privately rented and 14% socially rented, a lot of W7 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, and narrow bridges over the brent, permit bays near the station and driveways elsewhere behind the plaster in W7. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Hanwell gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, the reality on the streets around The Wharncliffe Viaduct is the fault we are called back to undo.
The Wharncliffe Viaduct, the Brent valley and a village-like clock tower centre. That character decides the practical detail of bath and shower screen fitting here far more than the borough boundary does. Hanwell is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: narrow bridges over the Brent, permit bays near the station and driveways elsewhere. Hanwell (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, 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 Hanwell on the streets near The Wharncliffe Viaduct, with 14% social-rented stock nearby, 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 W7. 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 this side of Ealing, with The Wharncliffe Viaduct a few streets away.
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Hanwell's older stock are rarely level along the rim across W7 — and 55% of Hanwell homes being houses, with 45% of homes here being flats, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is Hanwell gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, the reality on the streets around The Wharncliffe Viaduct on the streets near The Wharncliffe Viaduct — and a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood, with Ealing parking rules in play.
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry across W7, with this being a short walk from Hanwell (Elizabeth line). Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Hanwell bathrooms on the Hanwell rounds.
Yes, from £65. With 45% of Hanwell 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 45% flats neighbourhood — and 3,219 households on this patch, with 31% of W7 homes being privately rented.
The Wharncliffe Viaduct is the marker we route to on the Hanwell rounds, with 55% of Hanwell homes being houses, and narrow bridges over the Brent, permit bays near the station and driveways elsewhere. A W7 slot added to an existing Ealing round usually lands the same week rather than the next on W7 jobs, with Ealing parking rules in play.
