Overview
This page prices bath and shower screen fitting for Clapham SW4 specifically: Georgian and early Victorian stock, 34% privately rented and 21,167 households in total. Work starts at £110, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Lambeth 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. Very tight CPZ hours, narrow terraces and share-house turnover every summer.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Clapham Common (Northern) is the nearest station, so a SW4 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in SW4, with solid brick on the party and external walls — which is what a 76% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Clapham actually produces in SW4, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in SW4, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and with 31% one-person households in Clapham, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
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 Clapham
Census 2021 puts Clapham at 21,167 households with a median age of 31.9. The Georgian and early Victorian stock is mixed-tenure, which is why 24% houses and 76% flats need different handling in SW4.
34% of households rent privately and 37% own, which is why bath and shower screen fitting demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Clapham substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs in SW4, with solid brick on the party and external walls — which is what a 76% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Clapham actually produces. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in SW4, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and with 31% one-person households in Clapham, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the mistake that costs a SW4 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Clapham knows the pattern near Clapham Common: the Common, Abbeville Village and the Old Town's Georgian houses. We plan the SW4 visit around it. Clapham sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, very tight CPZ hours, narrow terraces and share-house turnover every summer — 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 Clapham Common (Northern).

Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Clapham on the Clapham rounds, with 34% of SW4 homes being privately rented, 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 across SW4. 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 streets near Clapham Common, with 24% of Clapham homes being houses.
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Clapham's older stock are rarely level along the rim for Clapham (SW4) addresses — and Lambeth parking rules in play, with 37% owner-occupation locally, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in SW4 on the streets near Clapham Common — and a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood, with 30% social-rented stock nearby, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and with 31% one-person households in Clapham, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry on Lambeth bookings, with Clapham Common a few streets away. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Clapham bathrooms in this 76% flats neighbourhood.
Yes, from £65. With 76% of Clapham 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 SW4 jobs, with 37% owner-occupation locally — and 34% of SW4 homes being privately rented.
All three. With 34% of Clapham privately rented and 37% owner-occupied, roughly half the SW4 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on the streets near Clapham Common — and 24% of Clapham homes being houses, with this being London Borough of Lambeth territory.
Clapham Common is the marker we route to on this side of Lambeth, with 24% of Clapham homes being houses, and very tight CPZ hours, narrow terraces and share-house turnover every summer. A SW4 slot added to an existing Lambeth round usually lands the same week rather than the next on SW4 jobs, with Clapham Common a few streets away.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show on Lambeth bookings, with 34% of SW4 homes being privately rented. Clapham sits close to Clapham Common (Northern), with Clapham Common a few streets away, so we can usually add a SW4 job to an existing Lambeth round at short notice in this 76% flats neighbourhood.
