Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Hillingdon UB10 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Hillingdon, most of them inter-war. 9,151 households sit inside this UB10 patch, 19% of them flats, so we quote on access near Hillingdon Hospital and Hillingdon Court Park rather than a London average.
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. Wide roads and driveways throughout; the A40 junctions congest at peak.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Hillingdon (Metropolitan, Piccadilly) is the nearest station, so a UB10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect timber stud partitions inside in UB10, cavity brickwork outside — the reality on the streets around Hillingdon Hospital and Hillingdon Court Park in UB10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in UB10, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — and with 23% one-person households in Hillingdon, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
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 Hillingdon
Walk Hillingdon from Hillingdon Hospital and Hillingdon Court Park outwards and the inter-war pattern is obvious: 19% of the 9,151 households in UB10 live in flats, 81% in houses.
Owner-occupation runs at 61% in Hillingdon, so alongside the 23% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Walls are timber stud partitions inside in UB10, cavity brickwork outside — the reality on the streets around Hillingdon Hospital and Hillingdon Court Park, so the fixing that matters in Hillingdon is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in UB10, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — and with 23% one-person households in Hillingdon, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Anyone who knows Hillingdon knows the pattern near Hillingdon Hospital and Hillingdon Court Park: suburban streets between Uxbridge and Ickenham, with the hospital nearby. We plan the UB10 visit around it. Hillingdon 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: wide roads and driveways throughout; the A40 junctions congest at peak. Hillingdon (Metropolitan, Piccadilly) 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.

Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Hillingdon on the Hillingdon rounds, with 9,151 households on this patch, 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 Hillingdon bookings. 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 in this 19% flats neighbourhood, with this being London Borough of Hillingdon territory.
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Hillingdon's older stock are rarely level along the rim on this side of Hillingdon — and 16% social-rented stock nearby, with this being London Borough of Hillingdon territory, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is in UB10, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — and with 23% one-person households in Hillingdon, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in this 19% flats neighbourhood — and 19% of homes here being flats, with this being a short walk from Hillingdon (Metropolitan, Piccadilly).
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry around Hillingdon (Metropolitan, Piccadilly), with 16% social-rented stock nearby. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Hillingdon bathrooms on UB10 jobs.
Yes, from £65. With 19% of Hillingdon 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 Hillingdon Hospital and Hillingdon Court Park — and 81% of Hillingdon homes being houses, with 19% of homes here being flats.
All three. With 23% of Hillingdon privately rented and 61% owner-occupied, roughly half the UB10 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door in Hillingdon — and this being a short walk from Hillingdon (Metropolitan, Piccadilly), with 81% of Hillingdon homes being houses.
Hillingdon Hospital and Hillingdon Court Park is the marker we route to across UB10, with Hillingdon parking rules in play, and wide roads and driveways throughout; the A40 junctions congest at peak. A UB10 slot added to an existing Hillingdon round usually lands the same week rather than the next on this side of Hillingdon, with 19% of homes here being flats.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show on the streets near Hillingdon Hospital and Hillingdon Court Park, with 9,151 households on this patch.
