Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Chessington KT9, explained
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Chessington North, bath and shower screen fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £110. With 20% of Chessington's 5,734 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in KT9 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Chessington
Five steps, the same on every KT9 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings on these streets — and wide roads, driveways and easy turning throughout 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 Chessington customers book us
Four things decide whether a KT9 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Chessington walls, not generic walls
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, which is why Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in KT9, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Chessington gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, where 73% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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. Wide roads, driveways and easy turning throughout.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Chessington
Fixed prices for KT9 and the rest of Kingston upon Thames. 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 Chessington
The same scope across KT9, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Kingston upon Thames bookings: drilling set for porcelain and ceramic tile with a pilot to stop the bit skating off the glaze, allowing for the 14% of KT9 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Screen or door packed and shimmed level even where the bath or tray is not, noted on the Chessington job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Chessington: neutral-cure silicone sealant used against tile and enamel, which will not corrode chrome fittings, timed against the walk in from Chessington North (South Western)
- On KT9 jobs: old sealant fully removed and the substrate dried before resealing, agreed on the doorstep in Chessington before anything is unpacked
Not included
- Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray, which is quoted as a separate repair, outside the fixed price on Chessington bookings
- Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking, and we will say so before the KT9 visit rather than on the day
- Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down, which we refer on to the right trade in Chessington

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 →

Chessington KT9 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Chessington — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
Chessington KT9 is inter-war and owner-occupier-led: 20% of homes here are flats and 80% are houses, across 5,734 households (ONS Census 2021).
The owner-occupier-led mix here (73% owned, 14% privately rented) means a KT9 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Chessington substrates run to some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, which is why Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Chessington gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, where 73% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the mistake that costs a KT9 customer twice.
Chessington is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — post-war suburbia at the edge of the green belt, best known for the theme park — which is why a KT9 quote is not a Kingston upon Thames average.
Wide roads, driveways and easy turning throughout. Nearest station is Chessington North (South Western), 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 Chessington KT9 — your questions.
How much does bath and shower screen fitting cost in Chessington KT9?
Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Chessington in this 20% flats neighbourhood, with this being Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames territory, 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 Kingston upon Thames 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 on the Chessington rounds, with 5,734 households on this patch.
Can you fit a shower screen on an old cast-iron bath in Chessington KT9?
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Chessington's older stock are rarely level along the rim on Kingston upon Thames bookings, with 5,734 households on this patch — and a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is Chessington gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body in this 20% flats neighbourhood — and Chessington World of Adventures a few streets away, with a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood, where 73% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Do you drill into tiles in KT9 without cracking them?
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry on Kingston upon Thames bookings, with 24% one-person households here. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Chessington bathrooms.
I have mould around my old shower screen in Chessington — can you just reseal it?
Yes, from £65. With 20% of Chessington 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 in this 20% flats neighbourhood — and Kingston upon Thames parking rules in play, with 20% of homes here being flats.
Do you handle difficult access in Chessington?
Wide roads, driveways and easy turning throughout. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards in Chessington — and this being Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames territory, with Chessington World of Adventures a few streets away.
Are your fitters insured for work in KT9?
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover, with 80% of Chessington homes being houses — and 14% 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 Chessington rounds. That paperwork is what most Kingston upon Thames letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on Kingston upon Thames bookings, with 14% social-rented stock nearby.
What is not included in bath and shower screen fitting in Chessington?
Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray on Kingston upon Thames bookings — and this being Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames territory, with 80% of Chessington homes being houses, which is quoted as a separate repair; Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking; Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Chessington KT9 price you agree is the price you pay on the Chessington rounds, with Chessington World of Adventures a few streets away.
