How it works
Step 1
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
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
Hinges, tracks or channels fixed and packed so the screen itself reads level even when the bath edge does not.
Step 4
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
Door or panel run through its full movement, checked for drips at the seal, and off-cuts and packaging removed.
Why choose us
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. September student turnover, New Cross Road red route and narrow permit-only streets.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. New Cross (Overground, Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — the reality on the streets around Goldsmiths, University of London in SE14, 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 on these streets — with 36% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
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.
Fixed prices
| 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
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 →

Anyone who knows New Cross knows the pattern near Goldsmiths, University of London: goldsmiths' campus, the Venue and student-heavy Victorian streets. We plan the SE14 visit around it. New Cross is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: september student turnover, New Cross Road red route and narrow permit-only streets.

Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in New Cross, with this being a short walk from New Cross (Overground, Southeastern) — and 73% 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 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 on the streets near Goldsmiths, University of London, with 36% social-rented stock nearby.
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in New Cross's older stock are rarely level along the rim on SE14 jobs, with Goldsmiths, University of London a few streets away — and this being a short walk from New Cross (Overground, Southeastern), so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — with 36% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in this 73% flats neighbourhood, with 30% owner-occupation locally — and Goldsmiths, University of London a few streets away.
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry on SE14 jobs, with 33% one-person households here. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in New Cross bathrooms on the New Cross rounds, with 36% social-rented stock nearby.
Yes, from £65. With 73% of New Cross 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 on Lewisham bookings — and 73% of homes here being flats, with 27% of New Cross homes being houses.
All three. With 34% of New Cross privately rented and 30% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE14 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on Lewisham bookings — and a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory.
Goldsmiths, University of London is the marker we route to on Lewisham bookings, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory, and september student turnover, New Cross Road red route and narrow permit-only streets. A SE14 slot added to an existing Lewisham round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the New Cross rounds, with a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show on SE14 jobs, with Lewisham parking rules in play.
