Overview
Booked mostly by mixed-tenure households around Turnham Green, bath and shower screen fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £110. With 57% of Chiswick's 15,273 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in W4 shape the slot length we hold.
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. Conservation-area rules, A4 red route and very tight CPZ around Turnham Green.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Turnham Green (District, Piccadilly) is the nearest station, so a W4 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — and with 34% one-person households in Chiswick, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in W4, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in W4, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — with 15% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
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 Chiswick
The W4 stock around Chiswick House and Gardens is mainly Victorian. ONS records 57% flats, 43% houses and 15,273 households in Chiswick.
Owner-occupation runs at 51% in Chiswick, so alongside the 34% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — and with 34% one-person households in Chiswick, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site behind the plaster in W4. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in W4, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — with 15% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Chiswick knows the pattern near Chiswick House and Gardens: chiswick House, the riverside and Bedford Park's Arts and Crafts streets. We plan the W4 visit around it. Chiswick is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.

Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Chiswick for Chiswick (W4) addresses, with 15% social-rented stock nearby, 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 Chiswick rounds. 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 Hounslow bookings, with this being a short walk from Turnham Green (District, Piccadilly).
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Chiswick's older stock are rarely level along the rim on Hounslow bookings, with Chiswick House and Gardens a few streets away — and 15% social-rented stock nearby, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is in W4, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — with 15% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first on the Chiswick rounds, with 34% of W4 homes being privately rented.
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry on the Chiswick rounds, with 51% owner-occupation locally. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Chiswick bathrooms on Hounslow bookings.
Yes, from £65. With 57% of Chiswick 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 Chiswick (W4) addresses — and 15% social-rented stock nearby, with 43% of Chiswick homes being houses.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show on W4 jobs, with 34% one-person households here. Chiswick sits close to Turnham Green (District, Piccadilly) on the Chiswick rounds, with 15% social-rented stock nearby, so we can usually add a W4 job to an existing Hounslow round at short notice.

Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Hounslow it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on W4 jobs — and 51% owner-occupation locally, with this being London Borough of Hounslow territory.
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover, with 15% social-rented stock nearby, 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 the Chiswick rounds — and a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood.
