Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Rainham RM13, explained
Bath and shower screen fitting in Rainham RM13 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Havering, most of them post-war. 5,122 households sit inside this RM13 patch, 15% of them flats, so we quote on access near Rainham Hall and Rainham Marshes RSPB reserve rather than a London average.
How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Rainham
Five steps, the same on every RM13 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In RM13, Inter-war and post-war semis with timber stud partitions and cavity outer walls — the pattern behind 5,122 households inside the RM13 neighbourhood 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 Rainham customers book us
What follows is specific to Rainham: its walls, its access and the paperwork Havering agents ask for.
Rainham walls, not generic walls
We expect cavity brickwork outside — and timber stud partitions inside, measured on the walk in from Rainham (c2c) rather than assumed from a map in RM13, 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, as the Rainham stock goes, and with 18% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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. New estate roads are wide with drives; the village lanes are narrow and one-way.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Rainham
Fixed prices for RM13 and the rest of Havering. 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 Rainham
The same scope across RM13, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Rainham: drilling set for porcelain and ceramic tile with a pilot to stop the bit skating off the glaze, the way it is done on Rainham jobs
- On RM13 jobs: screen or door packed and shimmed level even where the bath or tray is not, with 15% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Havering bookings: neutral-cure silicone sealant used against tile and enamel, which will not corrode chrome fittings, arranged with London Borough of Havering where the kerb needs it
- Old sealant fully removed and the substrate dried before resealing — including bath and shower screen fitting
Not included
- Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray, which is quoted as a separate repair, and we will say so before the RM13 visit rather than on the day
- Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking, handled by London Borough of Havering or a specialist contractor instead
- Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down, which we refer on to the right trade in Rainham

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 Rainham
Rainham RM13 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Rainham — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
Rainham RM13 is post-war and owner-occupier-led: 15% of homes here are flats and 85% are houses, across 5,122 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 18% of Rainham is privately rented and 9% socially rented, a lot of RM13 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect cavity brickwork outside — and timber stud partitions inside, measured on the walk in from Rainham (c2c) rather than assumed from a map behind the plaster in RM13. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Rainham stock goes, and with 18% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the fault we are called back to undo.
Rainham 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 — thames-side village with the marshes, the Tudor hall and new riverside housing — which is why a RM13 quote is not a Havering average.
On access, new estate roads are wide with drives; the village lanes are narrow and one-way — 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 Rainham (c2c).

Common questions
Bath and shower screen fitting in Rainham RM13 — your questions.
How much does bath and shower screen fitting cost in Rainham RM13?
Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Rainham for Rainham (RM13) addresses, with 73% owner-occupation locally, 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 the streets near Rainham Hall and Rainham Marshes RSPB reserve. 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 around Rainham (c2c), with 18% of RM13 homes being privately rented.
Can you fit a shower screen on an old cast-iron bath in Rainham RM13?
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Rainham's older stock are rarely level along the rim, with 85% of Rainham homes being houses — and this being a short walk from Rainham (c2c), 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, as the Rainham stock goes on Havering bookings — and 9% social-rented stock nearby, with this being a short walk from Rainham (c2c), and with 18% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Do you drill into tiles in RM13 without cracking them?
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry around Rainham (c2c), with this being a short walk from Rainham (c2c). Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Rainham bathrooms.
I have mould around my old shower screen in Rainham — can you just reseal it?
Yes, from £65. With 15% of Rainham 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 for Rainham (RM13) addresses — and 85% of Rainham homes being houses, with this being a short walk from Rainham (c2c).
Do you handle difficult access in Rainham?
New estate roads are wide with drives; the village lanes are narrow and one-way in Rainham. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Havering it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards for Rainham (RM13) addresses, with 15% of homes here being flats.
Are your fitters insured for work in RM13?
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover, with 18% of RM13 homes being privately rented — and 5,122 households on this patch, 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 for Rainham (RM13) addresses. That paperwork is what most Havering letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat in Rainham, with Rainham Hall and Rainham Marshes RSPB reserve a few streets away.
What is not included in bath and shower screen fitting in Rainham?
Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray for Rainham (RM13) addresses, with 9% social-rented stock nearby — and 18% of RM13 homes being privately rented, 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 Rainham RM13 price you agree is the price you pay in this 15% flats neighbourhood, with 85% of Rainham homes being houses.
