Greenwich · SE7 · Bath and shower screen fitting
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Charlton fitters · Fixed written pricesCharlton SE7 is a regular stop on our Greenwich round. Jacobean Charlton House, the Valley stadium and riverside retail parks, 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
Bath and shower screen fitting in Charlton SE7 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Greenwich, most of them mainly Victorian. 5,904 households sit inside this SE7 patch, 48% of them flats, so we quote on access near Charlton House 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 often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — the pattern behind 5,904 households inside the SE7 neighbourhood in SE7, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in SE7, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — and with 28% one-person households in Charlton, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
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. Match-day restrictions at the Valley, steep village hill and riverside estate roads.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Charlton (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE7 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 →

Expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — the pattern behind 5,904 households inside the SE7 neighbourhood behind the plaster in SE7. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in SE7, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — and with 28% one-person households in Charlton, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Charlton: jacobean Charlton House, the Valley stadium and riverside retail parks. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Charlton is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, match-day restrictions at the Valley, steep village hill and riverside estate roads — one reason 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. Fitters travelling in use Charlton (Southeastern).

Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Charlton on Greenwich bookings, with 48% of homes here being flats, 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 on this side of Greenwich, with 28% one-person households here.
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Charlton's older stock are rarely level along the rim on SE7 jobs — and 28% one-person households here, with this being a short walk from Charlton (Southeastern), so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is in SE7, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — and with 28% one-person households in Charlton, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site around Charlton (Southeastern), with 41% owner-occupation locally — and 20% of SE7 homes being privately rented.
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry on the streets near Charlton House, with 38% social-rented stock nearby. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Charlton bathrooms for Charlton (SE7) addresses.
Yes, from £65. With 48% of Charlton 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 Greenwich bookings — and Greenwich parking rules in play, with Charlton House a few streets away.
All three. With 20% of Charlton privately rented and 41% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE7 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door in this 48% flats neighbourhood — and this being a short walk from Charlton (Southeastern), with 48% of homes here being flats.
Charlton House is the marker we route to on the streets near Charlton House, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory, and match-day restrictions at the Valley, steep village hill and riverside estate roads. A SE7 slot added to an existing Greenwich round usually lands the same week rather than the next across SE7, with a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show on the streets near Charlton House, with 52% of Charlton homes being houses. Charlton sits close to Charlton (Southeastern), with 38% social-rented stock nearby, so we can usually add a SE7 job to an existing Greenwich round at short notice on SE7 jobs.
