Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Thamesmead SE28, explained
Bath and shower screen fitting in Thamesmead SE28 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Greenwich, most of them post-war. 7,133 households sit inside this SE28 patch, 47% of them flats, so we quote on access near Southmere Lake rather than a London average.
How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Thamesmead
Five steps, the same on every SE28 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — the pattern behind 7,133 households inside the SE28 neighbourhood 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 Thamesmead customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Thamesmead wall.
Thamesmead walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Thamesmead, often with surface conduit, measured on the walk in from Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line) rather than assumed from a map in SE28, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Thamesmead gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 47% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Thamesmead actually produces.
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.
Crew sized to the job
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. Deck-access blocks with limited lifts, long walkway carries and estate service roads.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Thamesmead
Fixed prices for SE28 and the rest of Greenwich. 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 Thamesmead
The same scope across SE28, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Greenwich bookings: drilling set for porcelain and ceramic tile with a pilot to stop the bit skating off the glaze, allowing for the 28% of SE28 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Screen or door packed and shimmed level even where the bath or tray is not, noted on the Thamesmead job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Thamesmead: neutral-cure silicone sealant used against tile and enamel, which will not corrode chrome fittings, timed against the walk in from Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line)
- On SE28 jobs: old sealant fully removed and the substrate dried before resealing, agreed on the doorstep in Thamesmead before anything is unpacked
Not included
- Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray, which is quoted as a separate repair, handled by Royal Borough of Greenwich or a specialist contractor instead
- Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking, which we refer on to the right trade in Thamesmead
- Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down, outside the fixed price on Thamesmead bookings

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 →

Thamesmead SE28 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Thamesmead — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
Thamesmead SE28 is post-war and social-housing-led: 47% of homes here are flats and 53% are houses, across 7,133 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 28% private renting against 32% owner-occupied, most SE28 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Thamesmead, often with surface conduit, measured on the walk in from Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line) rather than assumed from a map behind the plaster in SE28. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Thamesmead gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 47% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Thamesmead actually produces is the fault we are called back to undo.
Thamesmead is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — brutalist canals and lakes, now under one of London's biggest regeneration programmes — which is why a SE28 quote is not a Greenwich average.
On access, deck-access blocks with limited lifts, long walkway carries and estate service 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 Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line).

Common questions
Bath and shower screen fitting in Thamesmead SE28 — your questions.
How much does bath and shower screen fitting cost in Thamesmead SE28?
Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Thamesmead on Greenwich bookings, with 32% owner-occupation locally, 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 Thamesmead 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 for Thamesmead (SE28) addresses, with 53% of Thamesmead homes being houses.
Can you fit a shower screen on an old cast-iron bath in Thamesmead SE28?
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Thamesmead's older stock are rarely level along the rim across SE28 — and this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory, with 32% owner-occupation locally, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is Thamesmead gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on the streets near Southmere Lake — and 53% of Thamesmead homes being houses, with this being a short walk from Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line), which is what a 47% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Thamesmead actually produces.
Do you drill into tiles in SE28 without cracking them?
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry on Greenwich bookings, with 28% of SE28 homes being privately rented. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Thamesmead bathrooms on the Thamesmead rounds.
I have mould around my old shower screen in Thamesmead — can you just reseal it?
Yes, from £65. With 47% of Thamesmead 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 47% flats neighbourhood — and this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory, with Greenwich parking rules in play.
What is not included in bath and shower screen fitting in Thamesmead?
Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray on the streets near Southmere Lake, with Greenwich parking rules in play — and 7,133 households on this patch, 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 Thamesmead SE28 price you agree is the price you pay across SE28, with 47% of homes here being flats.
Who books bath and shower screen fitting in Thamesmead SE28 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 28% of Thamesmead privately rented and 32% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE28 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on Greenwich bookings — and 32% owner-occupation locally, with this being a short walk from Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line).
How quickly can you reach Thamesmead from your Greenwich round?
Southmere Lake is the marker we route to on the Thamesmead rounds, with 29% one-person households here, and deck-access blocks with limited lifts, long walkway carries and estate service roads. A SE28 slot added to an existing Greenwich round usually lands the same week rather than the next on SE28 jobs, with Greenwich parking rules in play.
