How much does bath and shower screen fitting cost in De Beauvoir Town N1?

Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in De Beauvoir Town on Hackney bookings — and 83% of homes here being flats, with 35% one-person households here, 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 streets near De Beauvoir Square. 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 De Beauvoir Town (N1) addresses, with a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood.

Can you fit a shower screen on an old cast-iron bath in De Beauvoir Town N1?

Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in De Beauvoir Town's older stock are rarely level along the rim around Haggerston (Overground) — and 17% of De Beauvoir Town homes being houses, with 28% owner-occupation locally, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is in N1, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — measured on the walk in from Haggerston (Overground) rather than assumed from a map in De Beauvoir Town — and this being a short walk from Haggerston (Overground), with 20% social-rented stock nearby.

Do you drill into tiles in N1 without cracking them?

Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry on the De Beauvoir Town rounds, with Hackney parking rules in play. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in De Beauvoir Town bathrooms across N1, with 17% of De Beauvoir Town homes being houses.

I have mould around my old shower screen in De Beauvoir Town — can you just reseal it?

Yes, from £65. With 83% of De Beauvoir Town 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 Hackney bookings, with 28% owner-occupation locally — and 83% of homes here being flats.

Who books bath and shower screen fitting in De Beauvoir Town N1 — tenants, landlords or owners?

All three. With 52% of De Beauvoir Town privately rented and 28% owner-occupied, roughly half the N1 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door for De Beauvoir Town (N1) addresses, with 17% of De Beauvoir Town homes being houses.

Is same-day or evening bath and shower screen fitting available in Hackney?

Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show on this side of Hackney, with 83% of homes here being flats. De Beauvoir Town sits close to Haggerston (Overground) across N1, with Hackney parking rules in play, so we can usually add a N1 job to an existing Hackney round at short notice.

How it works

How bath and shower screen fitting works in De Beauvoir Town

Five steps, the same on every N1 job, so you know what happens before you commit. De Beauvoir Town gives us new-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, the reality on the streets around De Beauvoir Square 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 De Beauvoir Town customers book us

Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a De Beauvoir Town wall.

De Beauvoir Town walls, not generic walls

We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms — which is why London Borough of Hackney kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in N1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in N1, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — measured on the walk in from Haggerston (Overground) rather than assumed from a map.

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. Conservation-area streets, LTN filters and villa basements with external steps.

Booked around your day

Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Haggerston (Overground) is the nearest station, so a N1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.

Fixed prices

Bath and shower screen fitting prices in De Beauvoir Town

Fixed prices for N1 and the rest of Hackney. 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.

Bath and shower screen fitting price guide for De Beauvoir Town N1
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.

Prices are fitting labour with sealant and standard fixings included; the screen or door itself is supplied by you or ordered at cost. Every screen fitted is CE-marked toughened safety glass to BS EN 12150. Tanking or waterproofing repairs behind existing tiles are quoted separately once uncovered. Permits, ULEZ and the Congestion Charge where they apply are itemised.

What's included in De Beauvoir Town

The same scope across N1, whether the job is a single item or a full room.

Included in the price

Drilling set for porcelain and ceramic tile with a pilot to stop the bit skating off the glaze, checked on every N1 visit
Standard on Hackney bookings: screen or door packed and shimmed level even where the bath or tray is not, with 2,802 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
On N1 jobs: neutral-cure silicone sealant used against tile and enamel, which will not corrode chrome fittings, bath and shower screen fitting london included
In De Beauvoir Town: old sealant fully removed and the substrate dried before resealing, sized for the conservation-area streets, ltn filters and villa basements with external steps

Not included

Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray, which is quoted as a separate repair, handled by London Borough of Hackney or a specialist contractor instead
Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking, and we will say so before the N1 visit rather than on the day
Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down, quoted separately if you need it arranged in N1

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 De Beauvoir Town

De Beauvoir Town N1 at a glance

Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers De Beauvoir Town — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.

The N1 stock around De Beauvoir Square is mainly Victorian. ONS records 83% flats, 17% houses and 2,802 households in De Beauvoir Town.

52% of households rent privately and 28% own, which is why bath and shower screen fitting demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.

De Beauvoir Town substrates run to dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms — which is why London Borough of Hackney kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in N1, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — measured on the walk in from Haggerston (Overground) rather than assumed from a map is the mistake that costs a N1 customer twice.

Two streets can behave very differently in De Beauvoir Town: a grid of Victorian Gothic villas between Kingsland Road and the canal. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. De Beauvoir Town is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.

Conservation-area streets, LTN filters and villa basements with external steps. Nearest station is Haggerston (Overground), 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.
