Merton · SW19 · Bath and shower screen fitting
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Wimbledon Park fitters · Fixed written pricesWimbledon Park SW19 is a regular stop on our Merton round. The park and lake below the tennis grounds, with Edwardian streets on the slope down to Southfields, so bath and shower screen fitting here is quoted on the street the job is on — from £110, in writing, with insured fitters, CE-marked toughened glass and every seal tooled clean.
Overview
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Wimbledon Park, bath and shower screen fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £110. With 42% of Wimbledon Park's 3,512 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SW19 shape the slot length we hold.
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. Championships fortnight parking bans, steep hill streets and shared side entrances to the maisonettes.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Wimbledon Park (District) is the nearest station, so a SW19 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick — which is why London Borough of Merton kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in SW19, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in SW19, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — and with 22% one-person households in Wimbledon Park, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
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 →

Private renting sits at 30% and owner-occupation at 61%; the first group books bath and shower screen fitting at short notice, the second plans it.
Wimbledon Park substrates run to some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick — which is why London Borough of Merton kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in SW19, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — and with 22% one-person households in Wimbledon Park, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the mistake that costs a SW19 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Wimbledon Park knows the pattern near Wimbledon Park lake and the All England Club next door: the park and lake below the tennis grounds, with Edwardian streets on the slope down to Southfields.

Championships fortnight parking bans, steep hill streets and shared side entrances to the maisonettes. Nearest station is Wimbledon Park (District), 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.

Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Wimbledon Park on Merton bookings, with 9% social-rented stock nearby — and 61% owner-occupation locally, 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 in this 42% flats neighbourhood. 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 this being a short walk from Wimbledon Park (District).
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Wimbledon Park's older stock are rarely level along the rim on the streets near Wimbledon Park lake and the All England Club next door, with this being a short walk from Wimbledon Park (District), so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is in SW19, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — and with 22% one-person households in Wimbledon Park, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site across SW19, with 61% owner-occupation locally — and 22% one-person households here.

Yes, from £65. With 42% of Wimbledon Park 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 Wimbledon Park — and 3,512 households on this patch, with Wimbledon Park lake and the All England Club next door a few streets away.
All three. With 30% of Wimbledon Park privately rented and 61% 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 this being London Borough of Merton territory, with 22% one-person households here.
