Overview
This page prices bath and shower screen fitting for Ickenham UB10 specifically: inter-war stock, 14% privately rented and 2,922 households in total. Work starts at £110, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Hillingdon 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
We expect timber stud partitions inside in UB10, cavity brickwork outside — which is what a 12% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Ickenham actually produces in UB10, 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 — and wide roads and long driveways; the village centre is narrow but quiet.
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.
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 long driveways; the village centre is narrow but quiet.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Ickenham (Metropolitan, Piccadilly) is the nearest station, so a UB10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
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 Ickenham
The UB10 stock around Ickenham village pump is inter-war. ONS records 12% flats, 88% houses and 2,922 households in Ickenham.
Owner-occupation runs at 82% in Ickenham, so alongside the 14% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Ickenham substrates run to timber stud partitions inside in UB10, cavity brickwork outside — which is what a 12% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Ickenham actually produces. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air on these streets — and wide roads and long driveways; the village centre is narrow but quiet is the mistake that costs a UB10 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Ickenham: a village green with a pump and pond, surrounded by interwar housing. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Ickenham 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 long driveways; the village centre is narrow but quiet. Ickenham (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.
