Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Woolwich SE18, explained
This page prices bath and shower screen fitting for Woolwich SE18 specifically: post-war stock, 25% privately rented and 13,241 households in total. Work starts at £110, fixed in writing, with parking and Royal Borough of Greenwich permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Woolwich
Five steps, the same on every SE18 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In SE18, Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block — which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded 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 Woolwich customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE18 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
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. Royal Arsenal estate permits, town-centre one-way loading and booked lifts in the towers.
Booked around your day
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Woolwich (Elizabeth line, DLR) is the nearest station, so a SE18 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Woolwich walls, not generic walls
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, the pattern behind 13,241 households inside the SE18 neighbourhood in SE18, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Woolwich stock goes, and with 25% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Woolwich
Fixed prices for SE18 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 Woolwich
The same scope across SE18, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Woolwich: drilling set for porcelain and ceramic tile with a pilot to stop the bit skating off the glaze, sized for the royal arsenal estate permits, town-centre one-way loading and booked lifts in the towers
- On SE18 jobs: screen or door packed and shimmed level even where the bath or tray is not, local bath and shower screen fitting included
- Standard on Greenwich bookings: neutral-cure silicone sealant used against tile and enamel, which will not corrode chrome fittings, with 13,241 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Old sealant fully removed and the substrate dried before resealing, checked on every SE18 visit
Not included
- Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray, which is quoted as a separate repair, and we will say so before the SE18 visit rather than on the day
- Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking, handled by Royal Borough of Greenwich or a specialist contractor instead
- Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down, which we refer on to the right trade in Woolwich

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 →

Woolwich SE18 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Woolwich — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
Woolwich SE18 is post-war and social-housing-led: 63% of homes here are flats and 37% are houses, across 13,241 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 25% private renting against 28% owner-occupied, most SE18 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, the pattern behind 13,241 households inside the SE18 neighbourhood behind the plaster in SE18. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Woolwich stock goes, and with 25% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the fault we are called back to undo.
The Arsenal's converted barracks, a market town centre and the ferry across the river. That character decides the practical detail of bath and shower screen fitting here far more than the borough boundary does. Woolwich 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: royal Arsenal estate permits, town-centre one-way loading and booked lifts in the towers. Woolwich (Elizabeth line, DLR) 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.

Common questions
Bath and shower screen fitting in Woolwich SE18 — your questions.
How much does bath and shower screen fitting cost in Woolwich SE18?
Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Woolwich on the streets near The Royal Arsenal and Woolwich Ferry, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory, 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 Greenwich bookings. 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 in Woolwich, with Greenwich parking rules in play.
Can you fit a shower screen on an old cast-iron bath in Woolwich SE18?
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Woolwich's older stock are rarely level along the rim for Woolwich (SE18) addresses, with 13,241 households on this patch — and 31% one-person households here, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Woolwich stock goes on the Woolwich rounds, with 63% of homes here being flats, and with 25% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Do you drill into tiles in SE18 without cracking them?
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry in Woolwich, with 63% of homes here being flats. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Woolwich bathrooms for Woolwich (SE18) addresses.
I have mould around my old shower screen in Woolwich — can you just reseal it?
Yes, from £65. With 63% of Woolwich 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 the streets near The Royal Arsenal and Woolwich Ferry — and this being a short walk from Woolwich (Elizabeth line, DLR), with 63% of homes here being flats.
What is not included in bath and shower screen fitting in Woolwich?
Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray for Woolwich (SE18) addresses, with 47% social-rented stock nearby — and The Royal Arsenal and Woolwich Ferry a few streets away, 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 Woolwich SE18 price you agree is the price you pay on the streets near The Royal Arsenal and Woolwich Ferry, with 37% of Woolwich homes being houses.
Who books bath and shower screen fitting in Woolwich SE18 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 25% of Woolwich privately rented and 28% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE18 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door for Woolwich (SE18) addresses — and 28% owner-occupation locally, with 31% one-person households here.
How quickly can you reach Woolwich from your Greenwich round?
The Royal Arsenal and Woolwich Ferry is the marker we route to in this 63% flats neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from Woolwich (Elizabeth line, DLR) — and 13,241 households on this patch, and royal Arsenal estate permits, town-centre one-way loading and booked lifts in the towers. A SE18 slot added to an existing Greenwich round usually lands the same week rather than the next on Greenwich bookings, with 28% owner-occupation locally.
