Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Hoxton N1, explained
Bath and shower screen fitting in Hoxton N1 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Hackney, most of them Georgian and early Victorian. 7,353 households sit inside this N1 patch, 96% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Museum of the Home rather than a London average.
How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Hoxton
Five steps, the same on every N1 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — with 45% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first 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 Hoxton customers book us
Four things decide whether a N1 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Hoxton walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, and with 38% one-person households in Hoxton, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in N1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Hoxton gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 22% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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. Low-traffic filters on side streets, permit bays and loft stairs with tight turns.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Hoxton
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.
| 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 Hoxton
The same scope across N1, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Hackney bookings: drilling set for porcelain and ceramic tile with a pilot to stop the bit skating off the glaze, allowing for the 33% of N1 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 Hoxton job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Hoxton: neutral-cure silicone sealant used against tile and enamel, which will not corrode chrome fittings, timed against the walk in from Hoxton (Overground)
- On N1 jobs: old sealant fully removed and the substrate dried before resealing, agreed on the doorstep in Hoxton before anything is unpacked
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, which we refer on to the right trade in Hoxton
- Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down, outside the fixed price on Hoxton bookings

Sulltan is the best handyman in London. He is very reliable and professional. I highly recommend.
★★★★★Trustpilot
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 Hoxton
Hoxton N1 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Hoxton — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
Hoxton N1 is Georgian and early Victorian and social-housing-led: 96% of homes here are flats and 3% are houses, across 7,353 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 33% private renting against 22% owner-occupied, most N1 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Hoxton substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, and with 38% one-person households in Hoxton, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Hoxton gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 22% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the mistake that costs a N1 customer twice.
Hoxton 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 — hoxton Square, Geffrye Museum gardens and a mix of estates and converted workshops — which is why a N1 quote is not a Hackney average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: low-traffic filters on side streets, permit bays and loft stairs with tight turns. Hoxton (Overground) 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 Hoxton N1 — your questions.
How much does bath and shower screen fitting cost in Hoxton N1?
Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Hoxton in this 96% flats neighbourhood, with a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood, 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 Hackney 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 Hoxton, with 45% social-rented stock nearby.
Can you fit a shower screen on an old cast-iron bath in Hoxton N1?
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Hoxton's older stock are rarely level along the rim on N1 jobs — and 38% one-person households here, with 33% of N1 homes being privately rented, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is Hoxton gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on the Hoxton rounds — and this being a short walk from Hoxton (Overground), with The Museum of the Home a few streets away, where 22% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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 for Hoxton (N1) addresses, with 33% of N1 homes being privately rented. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Hoxton bathrooms on the streets near The Museum of the Home.
I have mould around my old shower screen in Hoxton — can you just reseal it?
Yes, from £65. With 96% of Hoxton 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 across N1 — and 33% of N1 homes being privately rented, with 3% of Hoxton homes being houses.
How quickly can you reach Hoxton from your Hackney round?
The Museum of the Home is the marker we route to in this 96% flats neighbourhood, with 22% owner-occupation locally, and low-traffic filters on side streets, permit bays and loft stairs with tight turns. A N1 slot added to an existing Hackney round usually lands the same week rather than the next on Hackney bookings, with 45% social-rented stock nearby.
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 for Hoxton (N1) addresses, with a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood. Hoxton sits close to Hoxton (Overground), with this being London Borough of Hackney territory, so we can usually add a N1 job to an existing Hackney round at short notice in Hoxton.
Do you handle difficult access in Hoxton?
Low-traffic filters on side streets, permit bays and loft stairs with tight turns in this 96% flats neighbourhood. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Hackney it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on Hackney bookings — and this being London Borough of Hackney territory, with Hackney parking rules in play. With 96% of homes in Hoxton being flats, we plan the route up front.
