Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Lee SE12, explained
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Lee, bath and shower screen fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £110. With 39% of Lee's 6,151 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE12 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Lee
Five steps, the same on every SE12 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In SE12, Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings — which is why London Borough of Lewisham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded 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 Lee customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE12 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Lee walls, not generic walls
We expect solid London stock brick in Lee, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, the pattern behind 6,151 households inside the SE12 neighbourhood in SE12, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Lee stock goes, which is what a 39% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Lee 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. Driveways on many streets; Lee High Road is a red route with short bays.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Lee
Fixed prices for SE12 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. |

What's included in Lee

Included in the price
- In Lee: drilling set for porcelain and ceramic tile with a pilot to stop the bit skating off the glaze, the way it is done on Lee jobs
- On SE12 jobs: screen or door packed and shimmed level even where the bath or tray is not, with 39% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Lewisham bookings: neutral-cure silicone sealant used against tile and enamel, which will not corrode chrome fittings, arranged with London Borough of Lewisham where the kerb needs it

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 →

Lee SE12 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Lee — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
6,151 households sit inside the SE12 neighbourhood covering Lee. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 39% of those homes are flats.
Because 22% of Lee is privately rented and 18% socially rented, a lot of SE12 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are solid London stock brick in Lee, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, the pattern behind 6,151 households inside the SE12 neighbourhood, so the fixing that matters in Lee is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Lee stock goes, which is what a 39% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Lee actually produces.
Lee 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 — manor House library, Lee Green's shops and streets of interwar houses — which is why a SE12 quote is not a Lewisham average.
On access, driveways on many streets; Lee High Road is a red route with short bays — 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 Lee (Southeastern).

Common questions
Bath and shower screen fitting in Lee SE12 — your questions.
How much does bath and shower screen fitting cost in Lee SE12?
Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Lee in this 39% flats neighbourhood, with 22% of SE12 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 on Lewisham bookings. 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 in Lee, with 60% of Lee homes being houses.
Can you fit a shower screen on an old cast-iron bath in Lee SE12?
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Lee's older stock are rarely level along the rim on this side of Lewisham, with 60% owner-occupation locally — and a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Lee stock goes in Lee, with The Manor House and its gardens a few streets away — and 27% one-person households here, which is what a 39% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Lee actually produces.
Do you drill into tiles in SE12 without cracking them?
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry in Lee, with The Manor House and its gardens a few streets away. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Lee bathrooms on this side of Lewisham.
I have mould around my old shower screen in Lee — can you just reseal it?
Yes, from £65. With 39% of Lee 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 this 39% flats neighbourhood — and Lewisham parking rules in play, with The Manor House and its gardens a few streets away.
What is not included in bath and shower screen fitting in Lee?
Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray for Lee (SE12) addresses, with 6,151 households on this patch — and 18% social-rented stock nearby, 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 Lee SE12 price you agree is the price you pay in this 39% flats neighbourhood, with 27% one-person households here.
Who books bath and shower screen fitting in Lee SE12 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 22% of Lee privately rented and 60% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE12 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door for Lee (SE12) addresses — and 22% of SE12 homes being privately rented, with 6,151 households on this patch.
How quickly can you reach Lee from your Lewisham round?
The Manor House and its gardens is the marker we route to in this 39% flats neighbourhood, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory, and driveways on many streets; Lee High Road is a red route with short bays. A SE12 slot added to an existing Lewisham round usually lands the same week rather than the next on Lewisham bookings, with a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood.
