Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Kingston Vale and Coombe KT2, explained
Bath and shower screen fitting in Kingston Vale and Coombe KT2 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Kingston upon Thames, most of them post-war. 2,354 households sit inside this KT2 patch, 12% of them flats, so we quote on access near Richmond Park's Robin Hood Gate rather than a London average.
How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Kingston Vale and Coombe
Five steps, the same on every KT2 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In KT2, Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings — and private-estate gates and codes, long gravel drives and narrow park-edge lanes 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 Kingston Vale and Coombe customers book us
What follows is specific to Kingston Vale and Coombe: its walls, its access and the paperwork Kingston upon Thames agents ask for.
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. Private-estate gates and codes, long gravel drives and narrow park-edge lanes.
Booked around your day
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Norbiton (South Western) is the nearest station, so a KT2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Kingston Vale and Coombe walls, not generic walls
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick, which is what a 12% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Kingston Vale and Coombe actually produces in KT2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Kingston Vale and Coombe stock goes, where 77% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Kingston Vale and Coombe
Fixed prices for KT2 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 Kingston Vale and Coombe
The same scope across KT2, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Kingston Vale and Coombe: drilling set for porcelain and ceramic tile with a pilot to stop the bit skating off the glaze, timed against the walk in from Norbiton (South Western)
- On KT2 jobs: screen or door packed and shimmed level even where the bath or tray is not, agreed on the doorstep in Kingston Vale and Coombe before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Kingston upon Thames bookings: neutral-cure silicone sealant used against tile and enamel, which will not corrode chrome fittings, allowing for the 20% of KT2 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 Kingston Vale and Coombe 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 KT2
- Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking, outside the fixed price on Kingston Vale and Coombe bookings
- Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down, and we will say so before the KT2 visit rather than on the day

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 →

Kingston Vale and Coombe KT2 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Kingston Vale and Coombe — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
Kingston Vale and Coombe KT2 is post-war and owner-occupier-led: 12% of homes here are flats and 88% are houses, across 2,354 households (ONS Census 2021).
The owner-occupier-led mix here (77% owned, 20% privately rented) means a KT2 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick, which is what a 12% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Kingston Vale and Coombe actually produces, so the fixing that matters in Kingston Vale and Coombe is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Kingston Vale and Coombe stock goes, where 77% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Private estates of large houses on the slope below Richmond Park's Robin Hood Gate. That character decides the practical detail of bath and shower screen fitting here far more than the borough boundary does. Kingston Vale and Coombe is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, private-estate gates and codes, long gravel drives and narrow park-edge lanes — one reason 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. Fitters travelling in use Norbiton (South Western).

How much does bath and shower screen fitting cost in Kingston Vale and Coombe KT2?
Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Kingston Vale and Coombe across KT2 — and 88% of Kingston Vale and Coombe homes being houses, with 77% owner-occupation locally, 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 this side of Kingston upon Thames. 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 KT2 jobs, with 20% of KT2 homes being privately rented.
Can you fit a shower screen on an old cast-iron bath in Kingston Vale and Coombe KT2?
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Kingston Vale and Coombe's older stock are rarely level along the rim on KT2 jobs, with this being Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames territory, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Kingston Vale and Coombe stock goes on this side of Kingston upon Thames, with 19% one-person households here — and 3% social-rented stock nearby, where 77% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Do you drill into tiles in KT2 without cracking them?
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry across KT2, with 88% of Kingston Vale and Coombe homes being houses. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Kingston Vale and Coombe bathrooms on this side of Kingston upon Thames, with Kingston upon Thames parking rules in play.
I have mould around my old shower screen in Kingston Vale and Coombe — can you just reseal it?
Yes, from £65. With 12% of Kingston Vale and Coombe 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 around Norbiton (South Western) — and 19% one-person households here, with 12% of homes here being flats.
How quickly can you reach Kingston Vale and Coombe from your Kingston upon Thames round?
Richmond Park's Robin Hood Gate is the marker we route to in Kingston Vale and Coombe, with 20% of KT2 homes being privately rented, and private-estate gates and codes, long gravel drives and narrow park-edge lanes. A KT2 slot added to an existing Kingston upon Thames round usually lands the same week rather than the next on this side of Kingston upon Thames, with this being a short walk from Norbiton (South Western).
Is same-day or evening bath and shower screen fitting available in Kingston upon Thames?
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show around Norbiton (South Western), with 2,354 households on this patch. Kingston Vale and Coombe sits close to Norbiton (South Western) on KT2 jobs — and 12% of homes here being flats, with a median age of 45 in this neighbourhood, so we can usually add a KT2 job to an existing Kingston upon Thames round at short notice.
Do you handle difficult access in Kingston Vale and Coombe?
Private-estate gates and codes, long gravel drives and narrow park-edge lanes in Kingston Vale and Coombe. 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 on this side of Kingston upon Thames — and 20% of KT2 homes being privately rented, with 12% of homes here being flats.
