Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Northolt UB5, explained
Bath and shower screen fitting in Northolt UB5 is a fixed-price visit for mixed-tenure homes in Ealing, most of them inter-war. 9,850 households sit inside this UB5 patch, 48% of them flats, so we quote on access near Northala Fields rather than a London average.
How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Northolt
Five steps, the same on every UB5 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions, as the Northolt stock goes, and with 26% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does 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 Northolt customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Northolt wall.
Booked around your day
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Northolt (Central) is the nearest station, so a UB5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Northolt walls, not generic walls
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs — which is what a 48% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Northolt actually produces in UB5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — with 28% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
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.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Northolt
Fixed prices for UB5 and the rest of Ealing. 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 Northolt
The same scope across UB5, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On UB5 jobs: drilling set for porcelain and ceramic tile with a pilot to stop the bit skating off the glaze, with 48% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- In Northolt: screen or door packed and shimmed level even where the bath or tray is not, the way it is done on Northolt jobs
- Neutral-cure silicone sealant used against tile and enamel, which will not corrode chrome fittings — including local bath and shower screen fitting
- Standard on Ealing bookings: old sealant fully removed and the substrate dried before resealing, arranged with London Borough of Ealing where the kerb needs it
Not included
- Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray, which is quoted as a separate repair, handled by London Borough of Ealing or a specialist contractor instead
- Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking, and we will say so before the UB5 visit rather than on the day
- Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down, outside the fixed price on Northolt bookings

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 →

Northolt UB5 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Northolt — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
The UB5 stock around Northala Fields is inter-war. ONS records 48% flats, 52% houses and 9,850 households in Northolt.
Private renting sits at 26% and owner-occupation at 46%; the first group books bath and shower screen fitting at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs — which is what a 48% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Northolt actually produces behind the plaster in UB5. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — with 28% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Northolt knows the pattern near Northala Fields: the aerodrome, Northala Fields' pyramid mounds and post-war estate housing. We plan the UB5 visit around it. Northolt is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Wide estate roads, driveways and easy turning space throughout. Nearest station is Northolt (Central), 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 Northolt UB5 — your questions.
How much does bath and shower screen fitting cost in Northolt UB5?
Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Northolt on Ealing bookings, with Northala Fields a few streets away, 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 48% 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 for Northolt (UB5) addresses, with this being a short walk from Northolt (Central).
Can you fit a shower screen on an old cast-iron bath in Northolt UB5?
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Northolt's older stock are rarely level along the rim on the Northolt rounds, with 23% one-person households here — and 28% 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 which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — with 28% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first for Northolt (UB5) addresses, with this being a short walk from Northolt (Central).
Do you drill into tiles in UB5 without cracking them?
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry on the Northolt rounds, with 9,850 households on this patch. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Northolt bathrooms on Ealing bookings.
I have mould around my old shower screen in Northolt — can you just reseal it?
Yes, from £65. With 48% of Northolt 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 Ealing bookings — and Northala Fields a few streets away, with 26% of UB5 homes being privately rented.
Are your fitters insured for work in UB5?
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover, with 9,850 households on this patch — and 46% owner-occupation locally, 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 across UB5. That paperwork is what most Ealing letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on the streets near Northala Fields, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood.
What is not included in bath and shower screen fitting in Northolt?
Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray on the streets near Northala Fields, with this being a short walk from Northolt (Central) — and 46% owner-occupation locally, 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 Northolt UB5 price you agree is the price you pay on this side of Ealing, with 26% of UB5 homes being privately rented.
Who books bath and shower screen fitting in Northolt UB5 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 26% of Northolt privately rented and 46% owner-occupied, roughly half the UB5 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door across UB5 — and 9,850 households on this patch, with Ealing parking rules in play.
