Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Mitcham CR4 is a fixed-price visit for mixed-tenure homes in Merton, most of them mainly Victorian. 10,087 households sit inside this CR4 patch, 46% of them flats, so we quote on access near Mitcham Common and the Cricket Green rather than a London average.
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
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs — a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in CR4, 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 — the pattern behind 10,087 households inside the CR4 neighbourhood.
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.
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. Tram-line crossings, wide suburban roads and driveways on most streets.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Mitcham (Tramlink) is the nearest station, so a CR4 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
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 →

Working in Mitcham
Walk Mitcham from Mitcham Common and the Cricket Green outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 46% of the 10,087 households in CR4 live in flats, 54% in houses.
Owner-occupation runs at 47% in Mitcham, so alongside the 28% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Expect with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs — a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here behind the plaster in CR4. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — the pattern behind 10,087 households inside the CR4 neighbourhood is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Mitcham: one of the largest commons in London, a cricket green and Wandle-valley industry. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Mitcham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, tram-line crossings, wide suburban roads and driveways on most streets — 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 Mitcham (Tramlink).

Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Mitcham around Mitcham (Tramlink), with this being a short walk from Mitcham (Tramlink), 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 CR4 jobs. 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 this side of Merton, with 25% social-rented stock nearby.
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Mitcham's older stock are rarely level along the rim across CR4, with 25% social-rented stock nearby — and 47% owner-occupation locally, 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 — the pattern behind 10,087 households inside the CR4 neighbourhood on the Mitcham rounds, with 28% of CR4 homes being privately rented.
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry across CR4, with 47% owner-occupation locally. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Mitcham bathrooms on the streets near Mitcham Common and the Cricket Green.
Yes, from £65. With 46% of Mitcham 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 CR4 jobs — and 47% owner-occupation locally, with 54% of Mitcham homes being houses.
All three. With 28% of Mitcham privately rented and 47% owner-occupied, roughly half the CR4 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on CR4 jobs — and 54% of Mitcham homes being houses, with this being a short walk from Mitcham (Tramlink).
Mitcham Common and the Cricket Green is the marker we route to on CR4 jobs, with this being London Borough of Merton territory, and tram-line crossings, wide suburban roads and driveways on most streets. A CR4 slot added to an existing Merton round usually lands the same week rather than the next around Mitcham (Tramlink), with a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show across CR4, with 10,087 households on this patch.
