Bath and shower screen fitting in Kennington SE11, explained
This page prices bath and shower screen fitting for Kennington SE11 specifically: Georgian and early Victorian stock, 25% privately rented and 8,644 households in total.

How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Kennington
Five steps, the same on every SE11 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — measured on the walk in from Kennington (Northern) 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 Kennington customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE11 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Kennington walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE11, often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 8,644 households inside the SE11 neighbourhood in SE11, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Kennington gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 88% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Kennington actually produces.
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. Match-day restrictions at the Oval, Duchy estate rules and basement-step access.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Kennington
Fixed prices for SE11 and the rest of Lambeth. 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 Kennington
The same scope across SE11, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Lambeth bookings: drilling set for porcelain and ceramic tile with a pilot to stop the bit skating off the glaze, allowing for the 25% of SE11 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 Kennington job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Kennington: neutral-cure silicone sealant used against tile and enamel, which will not corrode chrome fittings, timed against the walk in from Kennington (Northern)
- On SE11 jobs: old sealant fully removed and the substrate dried before resealing, agreed on the doorstep in Kennington before anything is unpacked
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 SE11
- Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking, outside the fixed price on Kennington bookings
- Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down, handled by London Borough of Lambeth or a specialist contractor instead

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 Kennington
Kennington SE11 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Kennington — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
8,644 households sit inside the SE11 neighbourhood covering Kennington. The build is Georgian and early Victorian, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 88% of those homes are flats.
With 25% private renting against 28% owner-occupied, most SE11 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE11, often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 8,644 households inside the SE11 neighbourhood, so the fixing that matters in Kennington is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Kennington gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 88% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Kennington actually produces.
Kennington 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 — georgian terraces, the Oval's gasholders and the park between them — which is why a SE11 quote is not a Lambeth average.
Match-day restrictions at the Oval, Duchy estate rules and basement-step access. Nearest station is Kennington (Northern), 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.

Can you fit a shower screen on an old cast-iron bath in Kennington SE11?
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Kennington's older stock are rarely level along the rim for Kennington (SE11) addresses — and 38% one-person households here, with this being London Borough of Lambeth territory, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is Kennington gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on the Kennington rounds — and this being a short walk from Kennington (Northern), with 88% of homes here being flats, which is what a 88% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Kennington actually produces.

I have mould around my old shower screen in Kennington — can you just reseal it?
Yes, from £65. With 88% of Kennington 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 for Kennington (SE11) addresses — and The Kia Oval a few streets away, with 25% of SE11 homes being privately rented.
Do you handle difficult access in Kennington?

Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Lambeth it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on SE11 jobs — and 28% owner-occupation locally, with 12% of Kennington homes being houses.
Are your fitters insured for work in SE11?
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover, with this being London Borough of Lambeth territory — and a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood, 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 streets near The Kia Oval. That paperwork is what most Lambeth letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat for Kennington (SE11) addresses, with 88% of homes here being flats.
What is not included in bath and shower screen fitting in Kennington?
Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray in this 88% flats neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from Kennington (Northern) — and this being London Borough of Lambeth territory, 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 Kennington SE11 price you agree is the price you pay on Lambeth bookings, with 28% owner-occupation locally.
