Havering · RM5 · Bath and shower screen fitting
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Collier Row fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking bath and shower screen fitting near Collier Row Lane parade? Wide suburban roads, driveways and easy kerbside loading, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £110 and are fixed before we travel. Tile is pilot-drilled to stop the glaze cracking before any fixing goes in.
Overview
This page prices bath and shower screen fitting for Collier Row RM5 specifically: post-war stock, 14% privately rented and 3,167 households in total. Work starts at £110, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Havering 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
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Romford (Elizabeth line), a mile and a half south is the nearest station, so a RM5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick in RM5, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in RM5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Collier Row gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, and with 14% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Fitters carry £1m 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.
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. Wide suburban roads, driveways and easy kerbside loading.
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 had a huge, heavy Ikea, mirrored wardrobe to re-assemble. Adam was very polite, carefully got on with the job (without instruction guide); gave me helpful tips and also repaired some of the parts that had got broken over time. I thought this company was very professional and would certainly recommend.
I booked the services for putting together some new bedroom furniture. This was agreed for 3 pm. I got a call at 3pm to say they were going to be late and be there at 5, they arrived at 5:30. The workmanship and the guys who fitted it was excellent and they were very friendly… Read in full →

Working in Collier Row
3,167 households sit inside the RM5 neighbourhood covering Collier Row. The build is post-war, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 12% of those homes are flats.
Because 14% of Collier Row is privately rented and 12% socially rented, a lot of RM5 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are solid London stock brick in RM5, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, so the fixing that matters in Collier Row is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Collier Row gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, and with 14% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Collier Row 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 — a large residential suburb north of Romford with its own shopping parade — which is why a RM5 quote is not a Havering average.
On access, wide suburban roads, driveways and easy kerbside loading — 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 Romford (Elizabeth line), a mile and a half south.

Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Collier Row across RM5 — and a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood, with 12% of homes here being flats, 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 this side of Havering. 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 RM5 jobs, with a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood.
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Collier Row's older stock are rarely level along the rim around Romford (Elizabeth line), a mile and a half south, with 23% one-person households here — and 74% owner-occupation locally, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is Collier Row gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on RM5 jobs — and 12% of homes here being flats, with 3,167 households on this patch, and with 14% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry on the streets near Collier Row Lane parade, with a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Collier Row bathrooms across RM5, with 3,167 households on this patch.
Yes, from £65. With 12% of Collier Row 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 the streets near Collier Row Lane parade, with 74% owner-occupation locally — and this being a short walk from Romford (Elizabeth line), a mile and a half south.
Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray for Collier Row (RM5) addresses, with 88% of Collier Row homes being houses — and 74% owner-occupation locally, which is quoted as a separate repair; Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking; Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Collier Row RM5 price you agree is the price you pay on the streets near Collier Row Lane parade, with Collier Row Lane parade a few streets away.
All three. With 14% of Collier Row privately rented and 74% owner-occupied, roughly half the RM5 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door around Romford (Elizabeth line), a mile and a half south — and 23% one-person households here, with 3,167 households on this patch.
