Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Colliers Wood SW19, explained
This page prices bath and shower screen fitting for Colliers Wood SW19 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 44% privately rented and 4,286 households in total. Work starts at £110, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Merton permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Colliers Wood
Five steps, the same on every SW19 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In SW19, Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions — which is why London Borough of Merton 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 Colliers Wood customers book us
What follows is specific to Colliers Wood: its walls, its access and the paperwork Merton agents ask for.
Colliers Wood walls, not generic walls
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in Colliers Wood, with solid brick on the party and external walls, where 47% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in SW19, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, and with 29% one-person households in Colliers Wood, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
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. High Street red route, riverside estate roads and new blocks with booked lifts.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Colliers Wood
Fixed prices for SW19 and the rest of Merton. 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. |

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 →

Colliers Wood SW19 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Colliers Wood — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
In Colliers Wood (SW19) the split is 67% flats to 33% houses over 4,286 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
With 44% private renting against 47% owner-occupied, most SW19 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are lath and plaster over timber studs in Colliers Wood, with solid brick on the party and external walls, where 47% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, so the fixing that matters in Colliers Wood is chosen on site — the usual failure here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, and with 29% one-person households in Colliers Wood, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Colliers Wood 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 Wandle trail, Merton Abbey Mills and big-box retail on the High Street — which is why a SW19 quote is not a Merton average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: high Street red route, riverside estate roads and new blocks with booked lifts. Colliers Wood (Northern) 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.

Common questions
Bath and shower screen fitting in Colliers Wood SW19 — your questions.
How much does bath and shower screen fitting cost in Colliers Wood SW19?
Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Colliers Wood on the Colliers Wood rounds, with 47% owner-occupation locally — and 67% 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 for Colliers Wood (SW19) addresses. 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 this 67% flats neighbourhood, with 44% of SW19 homes being privately rented.
Can you fit a shower screen on an old cast-iron bath in Colliers Wood SW19?
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Colliers Wood's older stock are rarely level along the rim for Colliers Wood (SW19) addresses, with Merton parking rules in play — and 44% of SW19 homes being privately rented, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster on the Colliers Wood rounds, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood — and 47% owner-occupation locally, and with 29% one-person households in Colliers Wood, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Do you drill into tiles in SW19 without cracking them?

I have mould around my old shower screen in Colliers Wood — can you just reseal it?
Yes, from £65. With 67% of Colliers Wood 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 for Colliers Wood (SW19) addresses — and 67% of homes here being flats, with 33% of Colliers Wood homes being houses.
What is not included in bath and shower screen fitting in Colliers Wood?
Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray on Merton bookings, with Merton Abbey Mills a few streets away, 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 Colliers Wood SW19 price you agree is the price you pay on the Colliers Wood rounds, with 67% of homes here being flats.
Who books bath and shower screen fitting in Colliers Wood SW19 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 44% of Colliers Wood privately rented and 47% owner-occupied, roughly half the SW19 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on this side of Merton — and 67% of homes here being flats, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood.
How quickly can you reach Colliers Wood from your Merton round?
Merton Abbey Mills is the marker we route to across SW19, with this being London Borough of Merton territory, and high Street red route, riverside estate roads and new blocks with booked lifts. A SW19 slot added to an existing Merton round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the Colliers Wood rounds, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood.
