How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Stockwell
Five steps, the same on every SW9 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 Stockwell (Northern, Victoria) 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 Stockwell customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Stockwell wall.
Stockwell walls, not generic walls
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, the reality on the streets around Stockwell Skatepark and the Portuguese quarter in SW9, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Stockwell gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, and with 29% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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. Red routes on Clapham Road, estate service roads and permit bays on the side streets.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Stockwell
Fixed prices for SW9 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 Stockwell
The same scope across SW9, 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 29% of SW9 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 Stockwell job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Stockwell: neutral-cure silicone sealant used against tile and enamel, which will not corrode chrome fittings, timed against the walk in from Stockwell (Northern, Victoria)
- On SW9 jobs: old sealant fully removed and the substrate dried before resealing, agreed on the doorstep in Stockwell 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 SW9
- Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking, outside the fixed price on Stockwell 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.
★★★★★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 →

Stockwell SW9 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Stockwell — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
15,316 households sit inside the SW9 neighbourhood covering Stockwell. The build is Georgian and early Victorian, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 87% of those homes are flats.
The social-housing-led mix here (25% owned, 29% privately rented) means a SW9 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Stockwell substrates run to often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, the reality on the streets around Stockwell Skatepark and the Portuguese quarter. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Stockwell gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, and with 29% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a SW9 customer twice.
Stockwell 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 — portuguese cafés on South Lambeth Road, Georgian Stockwell Park and 1930s estates — which is why a SW9 quote is not a Lambeth average.
Red routes on Clapham Road, estate service roads and permit bays on the side streets. Nearest station is Stockwell (Northern, Victoria), 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 Stockwell SW9 — your questions.
How much does bath and shower screen fitting cost in Stockwell SW9?
Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Stockwell for Stockwell (SW9) addresses, with 87% of homes here being flats, 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 this 87% flats neighbourhood. 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 Lambeth bookings, with a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood.
Can you fit a shower screen on an old cast-iron bath in Stockwell SW9?
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Stockwell's older stock are rarely level along the rim on the Stockwell rounds — and a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood, with 46% social-rented stock nearby, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is Stockwell gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on Lambeth bookings — and Stockwell Skatepark and the Portuguese quarter a few streets away, with 15,316 households on this patch, and with 29% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Do you drill into tiles in SW9 without cracking them?
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry in Stockwell, with this being a short walk from Stockwell (Northern, Victoria). Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Stockwell bathrooms for Stockwell (SW9) addresses.
I have mould around my old shower screen in Stockwell — can you just reseal it?
Yes, from £65. With 87% of Stockwell 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 Stockwell — and this being London Borough of Lambeth territory, with a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood.
How quickly can you reach Stockwell from your Lambeth round?
Stockwell Skatepark and the Portuguese quarter is the marker we route to around Stockwell (Northern, Victoria) — and a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood, with 13% of Stockwell homes being houses, and red routes on Clapham Road, estate service roads and permit bays on the side streets. A SW9 slot added to an existing Lambeth round usually lands the same week rather than the next in Stockwell, with Lambeth parking rules in play.
Is same-day or evening bath and shower screen fitting available in Lambeth?
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show for Stockwell (SW9) addresses, with 32% one-person households here. Stockwell sits close to Stockwell (Northern, Victoria), with 15,316 households on this patch, so we can usually add a SW9 job to an existing Lambeth round at short notice in Stockwell.
Do you handle difficult access in Stockwell?
Red routes on Clapham Road, estate service roads and permit bays on the side streets on this side of Lambeth. 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 in this 87% flats neighbourhood — and Lambeth parking rules in play, with 32% one-person households here.
