Haringey · N10 · Bath and shower screen fitting
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Muswell Hill fitters · Fixed written pricesMuswell Hill N10 is a regular stop on our Haringey round. Edwardian shopping parades on a hilltop with wide views across London, so bath and shower screen fitting here is quoted on the street the job is on — from £110, in writing, with insured fitters, CE-marked toughened glass and every seal tooled clean.
Overview
This page prices bath and shower screen fitting for Muswell Hill N10 specifically: mainly Edwardian stock, 35% privately rented and 5,479 households in total. Work starts at £110, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Haringey permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
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 approach roads, tight parades with short loading bays and long garden paths.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Highgate (Northern) is the nearest station, so a N10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in Muswell Hill, with solid brick on the party and external walls — which is what a 63% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Muswell Hill actually produces in N10, 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; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel — measured on the walk in from Highgate (Northern) rather than assumed from a map.
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 →

Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Muswell Hill around Highgate (Northern) — and 63% of homes here being flats, with Alexandra Palace and Park a few streets away, 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 N10 jobs.

Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Muswell Hill's older stock are rarely level along the rim on the Muswell Hill rounds — and 8% social-rented stock nearby, with this being a short walk from Highgate (Northern), so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel — measured on the walk in from Highgate (Northern) rather than assumed from a map for Muswell Hill (N10) addresses — and this being London Borough of Haringey territory, with 37% of Muswell Hill homes being houses.
