Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Gants Hill IG2, explained
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Gants Hill, bath and shower screen fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £110. With 30% of Gants Hill's 4,097 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in IG2 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Gants Hill
Five steps, the same on every IG2 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In IG2, Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings — which is why London Borough of Redbridge 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 Gants Hill customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Gants Hill wall.
Gants Hill walls, not generic walls
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, and with 20% one-person households in Gants Hill, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in IG2, 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 Gants Hill stock goes, and with 32% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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. The roundabout is hard to load from; residential roads have driveways.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Gants Hill
Fixed prices for IG2 and the rest of Redbridge. 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. |

Scope
What's included in Gants Hill
The same scope across IG2, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Gants Hill: drilling set for porcelain and ceramic tile with a pilot to stop the bit skating off the glaze, the way it is done on Gants Hill jobs
- On IG2 jobs: screen or door packed and shimmed level even where the bath or tray is not, with 30% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Redbridge bookings: neutral-cure silicone sealant used against tile and enamel, which will not corrode chrome fittings, arranged with London Borough of Redbridge where the kerb needs it
- Old sealant fully removed and the substrate dried before resealing — including bath and shower screen fitting prices
Not included
- Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray, which is quoted as a separate repair, quoted separately if you need it arranged in IG2
- Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking, outside the fixed price on Gants Hill bookings
- Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down, and we will say so before the IG2 visit rather than on the day

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 →

Gants Hill IG2 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Gants Hill — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
4,097 households sit inside the IG2 neighbourhood covering Gants Hill. The build is inter-war, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 30% of those homes are flats.
Because 32% of Gants Hill is privately rented and 6% socially rented, a lot of IG2 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, and with 20% one-person households in Gants Hill, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site behind the plaster in IG2. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Gants Hill stock goes, and with 32% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the fault we are called back to undo.
Gants Hill 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 Moscow-style station rotunda, a busy roundabout and mansion flats around it — which is why a IG2 quote is not a Redbridge average.
The roundabout is hard to load from; residential roads have driveways. Nearest station is Gants Hill (Central), 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.

Can you fit a shower screen on an old cast-iron bath in Gants Hill IG2?
