You get a fixed price in writing, an insured fitter and a tidy finish.
Overview
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Hornsey, bath and shower screen fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £110. With 75% of Crouch End's 6,451 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in N8 shape the slot length we hold.
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
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. Steep hills, very narrow streets around the Broadway and permit bays all week.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Hornsey (Great Northern) is the nearest station, so a N8 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in Crouch End, with solid brick on the party and external walls — the reality on the streets around Crouch End Clock Tower in N8, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Crouch End, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and steep hills, very narrow streets around the broadway and permit bays all week.
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.
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 →

Working in Crouch End
Walk Crouch End from Crouch End Clock Tower outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 75% of the 6,451 households in N8 live in flats, 25% in houses.
Owner-occupation runs at 51% in Crouch End, so alongside the 37% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Crouch End substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs in Crouch End, with solid brick on the party and external walls — the reality on the streets around Crouch End Clock Tower. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Crouch End, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and steep hills, very narrow streets around the broadway and permit bays all week is the mistake that costs a N8 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Crouch End knows the pattern near Crouch End Clock Tower: the clock tower, Town Hall and a hill village of Victorian terraces with no tube. We plan the N8 visit around it. Crouch End 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: steep hills, very narrow streets around the Broadway and permit bays all week. Hornsey (Great Northern) 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.

Yes — a pivot screen is £110.

Yes, from £65.
