Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Catford SE6, explained
Bath and shower screen fitting in Catford SE6 is a fixed-price visit for mixed-tenure homes in Lewisham, most of them mainly Victorian. 6,981 households sit inside this SE6 patch, 62% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Catford Cat rather than a London average.
How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Catford
Five steps, the same on every SE6 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard on these streets — and with 33% one-person households in Catford, 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 Catford customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Catford wall.
Catford walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, the pattern behind 6,981 households inside the SE6 neighbourhood in SE6, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Catford gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, a median age of 35 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. South Circular red route, shopping-centre service yards and permit bays behind.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Catford
Fixed prices for SE6 and the rest of Lewisham. 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 Catford
The same scope across SE6, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Lewisham bookings: drilling set for porcelain and ceramic tile with a pilot to stop the bit skating off the glaze, allowing for the 33% of SE6 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 Catford job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Catford: neutral-cure silicone sealant used against tile and enamel, which will not corrode chrome fittings, timed against the walk in from Catford (Southeastern)
- On SE6 jobs: old sealant fully removed and the substrate dried before resealing, agreed on the doorstep in Catford before anything is unpacked
Not included
- Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray, which is quoted as a separate repair, handled by London Borough of Lewisham or a specialist contractor instead
- Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking, which we refer on to the right trade in Catford
- Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down, outside the fixed price on Catford bookings

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 →

Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Catford — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
Catford SE6 is mainly Victorian and mixed-tenure: 62% of homes here are flats and 38% are houses, across 6,981 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 33% private renting against 42% owner-occupied, most SE6 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, the pattern behind 6,981 households inside the SE6 neighbourhood, so the fixing that matters in Catford is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Catford gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Catford is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — the fibreglass cat, the Broadway theatre and the Rushey Green shops — which is why a SE6 quote is not a Lewisham average.
On access, south Circular red route, shopping-centre service yards and permit bays behind — 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 Catford (Southeastern).
