Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Tulse Hill SW2, explained
Bath and shower screen fitting in Tulse Hill SW2 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Lambeth, most of them mainly Victorian. 3,391 households sit inside this SW2 patch, 80% of them flats, so we quote on access near Brockwell Park's southern edge rather than a London average.
How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Tulse Hill
Five steps, the same on every SW2 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In SW2, Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block — and with 30% one-person households in Tulse Hill, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site 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 Tulse Hill customers book us
Four things decide whether a SW2 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Tulse Hill walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, with 57% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in SW2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Tulse Hill stock goes, a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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. Steep gradients, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Tulse Hill
Fixed prices for SW2 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 Tulse Hill
The same scope across SW2, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Tulse Hill: drilling set for porcelain and ceramic tile with a pilot to stop the bit skating off the glaze, sized for the steep gradients, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station
- On SW2 jobs: screen or door packed and shimmed level even where the bath or tray is not, bath and shower screen fitting included
- Standard on Lambeth bookings: neutral-cure silicone sealant used against tile and enamel, which will not corrode chrome fittings, with 3,391 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Old sealant fully removed and the substrate dried before resealing, checked on every SW2 visit
Not included
- Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray, which is quoted as a separate repair, outside the fixed price on Tulse Hill bookings
- Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking, and we will say so before the SW2 visit rather than on the day
- 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 →

Tulse Hill SW2 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Tulse Hill — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
In Tulse Hill (SW2) the split is 80% flats to 20% houses over 3,391 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
Because 19% of Tulse Hill is privately rented and 57% socially rented, a lot of SW2 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, with 57% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first behind the plaster in SW2. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Tulse Hill stock goes, a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the fault we are called back to undo.
Tulse Hill 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 — hillside streets between Brixton and West Norwood with big Victorian houses — which is why a SW2 quote is not a Lambeth average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: steep gradients, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station. Tulse Hill (Thameslink) is the nearest station, 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.

I have mould around my old shower screen in Tulse Hill — can you just reseal it?
Yes, from £65.

Do you handle difficult access in Tulse Hill?
Steep gradients, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station on the streets near Brockwell Park's southern edge.

Are your fitters insured for work in SW2?

Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray in Tulse Hill, with this being London Borough of Lambeth territory — and 25% owner-occupation locally, 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 Tulse Hill SW2 price you agree is the price you pay for Tulse Hill (SW2) addresses, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood.
