Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Bayswater W2, explained
This page prices bath and shower screen fitting for Bayswater W2 specifically: period conversion stock, 60% privately rented and 8,016 households in total. Work starts at £110, fixed in writing, with parking and Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Bayswater
Five steps, the same on every W2 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In W2, Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions — measured on the walk in from Bayswater (Circle, District) rather than assumed from a map 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 Bayswater customers book us
What follows is specific to Bayswater: its walls, its access and the paperwork Kensington and Chelsea agents ask for.
Bayswater walls, not generic walls
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls, and with 46% one-person households in Bayswater, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in W2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, the reality on the streets around Whiteleys and Hyde Park's north edge.
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. Hotel servicing congestion, permit bays and five-storey walk-ups.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Bayswater
Fixed prices for W2 and the rest of Kensington and Chelsea. 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 Bayswater
The same scope across W2, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Bayswater: drilling set for porcelain and ceramic tile with a pilot to stop the bit skating off the glaze, timed against the walk in from Bayswater (Circle, District)
- On W2 jobs: screen or door packed and shimmed level even where the bath or tray is not, agreed on the doorstep in Bayswater before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Kensington and Chelsea bookings: neutral-cure silicone sealant used against tile and enamel, which will not corrode chrome fittings, allowing for the 60% of W2 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Old sealant fully removed and the substrate dried before resealing, noted on the Bayswater job sheet so the next visit starts from it
Not included
- Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray, which is quoted as a separate repair, quoted separately if you need it arranged in W2
- Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking, outside the fixed price on Bayswater bookings
- Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down, and we will say so before the W2 visit rather than on the day

Sulltan is the best handyman in London. He is very reliable and professional. I highly recommend.
★★★★★Trustpilot
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 →

Bayswater W2 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Bayswater — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
8,016 households sit inside the W2 neighbourhood covering Bayswater. The build is period conversion, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 93% of those homes are flats.
With 60% private renting against 29% owner-occupied, most W2 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Expect lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls, and with 46% one-person households in Bayswater, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site behind the plaster in W2. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, the reality on the streets around Whiteleys and Hyde Park's north edge is the fault we are called back to undo.
Bayswater sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — hotel-lined stucco terraces on the park's north side with a strong international community — which is why a W2 quote is not a Kensington and Chelsea average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: hotel servicing congestion, permit bays and five-storey walk-ups. Bayswater (Circle, District) 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.

Common questions
Bath and shower screen fitting in Bayswater W2 — your questions.
How much does bath and shower screen fitting cost in Bayswater W2?
Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Bayswater, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood, 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 for Bayswater (W2) addresses. 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 93% flats neighbourhood, with 93% of homes here being flats.
Can you fit a shower screen on an old cast-iron bath in Bayswater W2?
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Bayswater's older stock are rarely level along the rim for Bayswater (W2) addresses — and a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood, with 29% owner-occupation locally, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, the reality on the streets around Whiteleys and Hyde Park's north edge on the Bayswater rounds — and 46% one-person households here, with Kensington and Chelsea parking rules in play.
Do you drill into tiles in W2 without cracking them?
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry across W2, with Whiteleys and Hyde Park's north edge a few streets away. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Bayswater bathrooms on this side of Kensington and Chelsea.
I have mould around my old shower screen in Bayswater — can you just reseal it?
Yes, from £65. With 93% of Bayswater 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 Kensington and Chelsea bookings — and Whiteleys and Hyde Park's north edge a few streets away, with 46% one-person households here.
How quickly can you reach Bayswater from your Kensington and Chelsea round?
Whiteleys and Hyde Park's north edge is the marker we route to across W2, with this being a short walk from Bayswater (Circle, District), and hotel servicing congestion, permit bays and five-storey walk-ups. A W2 slot added to an existing Kensington and Chelsea round usually lands the same week rather than the next on this side of Kensington and Chelsea, with 29% owner-occupation locally.
Is same-day or evening bath and shower screen fitting available in Kensington and Chelsea?
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show on the streets near Whiteleys and Hyde Park's north edge, with 46% one-person households here. Bayswater sits close to Bayswater (Circle, District), with 8,016 households on this patch, so we can usually add a W2 job to an existing Kensington and Chelsea round at short notice for Bayswater (W2) addresses.
Do you handle difficult access in Bayswater?
In Bayswater, hotel servicing congestion, permit bays and five-storey walk-ups. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on this side of Kensington and Chelsea, with this being Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea territory. That covers bath and shower screen fitting on Bayswater jobs too.
