Greenwich · SE3 · Bath and shower screen fitting
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Blackheath fitters · Fixed written pricesBlackheath SE3 is a regular stop on our Greenwich round. The heath, the village and Georgian terraces facing open grass, so bath and shower screen fitting here is quoted on the street the job is on — from £110, in writing, with insured fitters, CE-marked toughened glass and every seal tooled clean.
Overview
Booked mostly by mixed-tenure households around Blackheath, bath and shower screen fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £110. With 64% of Blackheath's 2,884 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE3 shape the slot length we hold.
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
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. Conservation-area restrictions, narrow village streets and listed staircases.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Blackheath (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls — and with 36% one-person households in Blackheath, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in SE3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel — measured on the walk in from Blackheath (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map.
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
| 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 Blackheath
Census 2021 puts Blackheath at 2,884 households with a median age of 39.6. The Georgian and early Victorian stock is mixed-tenure, which is why 36% houses and 64% flats need different handling in SE3.
Private renting sits at 32% and owner-occupation at 51%; the first group books bath and shower screen fitting at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls — and with 36% one-person households in Blackheath, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, so the fixing that matters in Blackheath is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel — measured on the walk in from Blackheath (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map.
Anyone who knows Blackheath knows the pattern near Blackheath and the Paragon: the heath, the village and Georgian terraces facing open grass. We plan the SE3 visit around it. Blackheath is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Conservation-area restrictions, narrow village streets and listed staircases. Nearest station is Blackheath (Southeastern), 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 Blackheath on SE3 jobs, with 2,884 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 on the Blackheath rounds. 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 across SE3, with 36% of Blackheath homes being houses.
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Blackheath's older stock are rarely level along the rim across SE3, with 36% one-person households here — and 51% owner-occupation locally, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel — measured on the walk in from Blackheath (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map on the Blackheath rounds — and 32% of SE3 homes being privately rented, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory.
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry around Blackheath (Southeastern), with this being a short walk from Blackheath (Southeastern). Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Blackheath bathrooms on SE3 jobs.
Yes, from £65. With 64% of Blackheath 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 Blackheath — and 2,884 households on this patch, with 64% of homes here being flats.
All three. With 32% of Blackheath privately rented and 51% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE3 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on the Blackheath rounds, with 51% owner-occupation locally — and this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory.
Blackheath and the Paragon is the marker we route to around Blackheath (Southeastern), with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory, and conservation-area restrictions, narrow village streets and listed staircases. A SE3 slot added to an existing Greenwich round usually lands the same week rather than the next in Blackheath, with a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show in this 64% flats neighbourhood, with Greenwich parking rules in play. Blackheath sits close to Blackheath (Southeastern), with 36% one-person households here, so we can usually add a SE3 job to an existing Greenwich round at short notice on this side of Greenwich.
