Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Kew TW9, explained
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Kew Gardens, bath and shower screen fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £110. With 41% of Kew's 4,163 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in TW9 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Kew
Five steps, the same on every TW9 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In TW9, Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings — and with 30% one-person households in Kew, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site 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 Kew customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Kew wall.
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. Narrow streets with permit bays, level crossings and conservation-area frontages.
Booked around your day
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Kew Gardens (District, Overground) is the nearest station, so a TW9 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Kew walls, not generic walls
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick, and narrow streets with permit bays, level crossings and conservation-area frontages in TW9, 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 Kew stock goes, which is what a 41% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Kew actually produces.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Kew
Fixed prices for TW9 and the rest of Richmond upon Thames. 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 →

Working in Kew
Kew TW9 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Kew — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
In Kew (TW9) the split is 41% flats to 59% houses over 4,163 households, and the stock is mainly Edwardian.
Because 30% of Kew is privately rented and 6% socially rented, a lot of TW9 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick, and narrow streets with permit bays, level crossings and conservation-area frontages, so the fixing that matters in Kew is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Kew stock goes, which is what a 41% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Kew actually produces.
The botanic gardens, the green and Edwardian family streets around them. That character decides the practical detail of bath and shower screen fitting here far more than the borough boundary does. Kew is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Narrow streets with permit bays, level crossings and conservation-area frontages. Nearest station is Kew Gardens (District, Overground), 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 Kew TW9?
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Kew's older stock are rarely level along the rim on this side of Richmond upon Thames — and 30% of TW9 homes being privately rented, with this being London Borough of Richmond upon Thames territory, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Kew stock goes in Kew, with 30% one-person households here — and 64% owner-occupation locally, which is what a 41% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Kew actually produces.
Do you drill into tiles in TW9 without cracking them?
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry on Richmond upon Thames bookings, with 4,163 households on this patch. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Kew bathrooms on the Kew rounds.
I have mould around my old shower screen in Kew — can you just reseal it?
Yes, from £65. With 41% of Kew 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 the streets near Kew Gardens — and Richmond upon Thames parking rules in play, with Kew Gardens a few streets away.
Do you handle difficult access in Kew?
Narrow streets with permit bays, level crossings and conservation-area frontages around Kew Gardens (District, Overground). Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Richmond upon Thames it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards in Kew — and 59% of Kew homes being houses, with this being London Borough of Richmond upon Thames territory.
Are your fitters insured for work in TW9?
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover, with Kew Gardens a few streets away — and 64% owner-occupation locally, 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 on TW9 jobs. That paperwork is what most Richmond upon Thames letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on the Kew rounds, with 59% of Kew homes being houses.
What is not included in bath and shower screen fitting in Kew?
Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray in Kew, with 59% of Kew homes being houses — and 30% of TW9 homes being privately rented, 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 Kew TW9 price you agree is the price you pay for Kew (TW9) addresses, with Richmond upon Thames parking rules in play.
