Overview
This page prices bath and shower screen fitting for Holland Park W11 specifically: period conversion stock, 43% privately rented and 3,387 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
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. Driveways on some villas; elsewhere permit bays, gated entrances and listed interiors.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Holland Park (Central) is the nearest station, so a W11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs — and with 43% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in W11, 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 — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — the pattern behind 3,387 households inside the W11 neighbourhood.
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 Holland Park
Census 2021 puts Holland Park at 3,387 households with a median age of 39. The period conversion stock is renter-heavy, which is why 20% houses and 80% flats need different handling in W11.
Owner-occupation runs at 40% in Holland Park, so alongside the 43% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Walls are with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs — and with 43% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, so the fixing that matters in Holland Park is chosen on site — the usual failure here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — the pattern behind 3,387 households inside the W11 neighbourhood.
Anyone who knows Holland Park knows the pattern near Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden: wide villa avenues around the park and the Design Museum. We plan the W11 visit around it. Holland Park sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Driveways on some villas; elsewhere permit bays, gated entrances and listed interiors. Nearest station is Holland Park (Central), 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 Holland Park on this side of Kensington and Chelsea — and 3,387 households on this patch, with 37% one-person households here, 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 in Holland Park. 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 Kensington and Chelsea bookings, with 80% of homes here being flats.
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Holland Park's older stock are rarely level along the rim in this 80% flats neighbourhood — and 17% social-rented stock nearby, with 80% of homes here being flats, 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 — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — the pattern behind 3,387 households inside the W11 neighbourhood around Holland Park (Central) — and this being Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea territory, with 3,387 households on this patch.
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry on W11 jobs, with 43% of W11 homes being privately rented. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Holland Park bathrooms on the Holland Park rounds, with Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden a few streets away.
Yes, from £65. With 80% of Holland Park 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 Holland Park rounds — and a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from Holland Park (Central).
All three. With 43% of Holland Park privately rented and 40% owner-occupied, roughly half the W11 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door in Holland Park — and Kensington and Chelsea parking rules in play, with 17% social-rented stock nearby.
Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden is the marker we route to on Kensington and Chelsea bookings, with 3,387 households on this patch, and driveways on some villas; elsewhere permit bays, gated entrances and listed interiors. A W11 slot added to an existing Kensington and Chelsea round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the Holland Park rounds, with 37% one-person households here.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show on W11 jobs, with this being Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea territory. Holland Park sits close to Holland Park (Central) on the Holland Park rounds, with 80% of homes here being flats — and Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden a few streets away, so we can usually add a W11 job to an existing Kensington and Chelsea round at short notice.
