Overview
This page prices bath and shower screen fitting for Pinner HA5 specifically: inter-war stock, 24% privately rented and 11,124 households in total. Work starts at £110, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Harrow 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. The village street is narrow with timed loading; residential roads have driveways.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Pinner (Metropolitan) is the nearest station, so a HA5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside — where 67% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in HA5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air on these streets — which is why London Borough of Harrow kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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 Pinner
Walk Pinner from Pinner Village and St John the Baptist Church outwards and the inter-war pattern is obvious: 35% of the 11,124 households in HA5 live in flats, 65% in houses.
24% of households rent privately and 67% own, which is why bath and shower screen fitting demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside — where 67% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, so the fixing that matters in Pinner is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air on these streets — which is why London Borough of Harrow kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Anyone who knows Pinner knows the pattern near Pinner Village and St John the Baptist Church: a genuine medieval village high street with a fair charter from 1336. We plan the HA5 visit around it. Pinner is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, the village street is narrow with timed loading; residential roads have driveways — one reason 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. Fitters travelling in use Pinner (Metropolitan).

Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Pinner on this side of Harrow, with 23% 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 in Pinner. 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 on Harrow bookings, with 35% of homes here being flats.
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Pinner's older stock are rarely level along the rim on this side of Harrow, with 24% of HA5 homes being privately rented — and 67% owner-occupation locally, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air on these streets — which is why London Borough of Harrow kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in Pinner — and 35% of homes here being flats, with Pinner Village and St John the Baptist Church a few streets away.
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry on the streets near Pinner Village and St John the Baptist Church, with 9% social-rented stock nearby. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Pinner bathrooms on HA5 jobs.
Yes, from £65. With 35% of Pinner 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 Harrow bookings, with this being London Borough of Harrow territory.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show on this side of Harrow, with 11,124 households on this patch. Pinner sits close to Pinner (Metropolitan), with 67% owner-occupation locally, so we can usually add a HA5 job to an existing Harrow round at short notice across HA5.
The village street is narrow with timed loading; residential roads have driveways in this 35% flats neighbourhood. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Harrow it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on Harrow bookings — and a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood, with 65% of Pinner homes being houses.
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover, with 35% of homes here being flats — and this being a short walk from Pinner (Metropolitan), 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 on Harrow bookings. That paperwork is what most Harrow letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on the streets near Pinner Village and St John the Baptist Church, with Harrow parking rules in play.
