Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Whitton TW2 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Richmond upon Thames, most of them inter-war. 3,134 households sit inside this TW2 patch, 25% of them flats, so we quote on access near Murray Park 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
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. Driveways on nearly every street; only the high street needs timed loading.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Whitton (South Western) is the nearest station, so a TW2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — which is what a 25% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Whitton actually produces in TW2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in TW2, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — measured on the walk in from Whitton (South Western) rather than assumed from a map.
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 →

Working in Whitton
Walk Whitton from Murray Park outwards and the inter-war pattern is obvious: 25% of the 3,134 households in TW2 live in flats, 75% in houses.
Owner-occupation runs at 70% in Whitton, so alongside the 20% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — which is what a 25% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Whitton actually produces behind the plaster in TW2. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in TW2, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — measured on the walk in from Whitton (South Western) rather than assumed from a map is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Whitton knows the pattern near Murray Park: a quiet residential suburb with its own high street, west of Twickenham. We plan the TW2 visit around it. Whitton is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Driveways on nearly every street; only the high street needs timed loading. Nearest station is Whitton (South Western), 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 Whitton on this side of Richmond upon Thames, with a median age of 41 in this neighbourhood, 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 across TW2. 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 the streets near Murray Park, with 25% of homes here being flats.
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Whitton's older stock are rarely level along the rim across TW2, with 11% social-rented stock nearby — and 75% of Whitton homes being houses, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is in TW2, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — measured on the walk in from Whitton (South Western) rather than assumed from a map on the Whitton rounds — and this being a short walk from Whitton (South Western), with 75% of Whitton homes being houses.
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry on the Whitton rounds, with 20% of TW2 homes being privately rented. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Whitton bathrooms across TW2.
Yes, from £65. With 25% of Whitton 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 TW2 jobs, with 70% owner-occupation locally — and 75% of Whitton homes being houses.
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover, with 3,134 households on this patch — and 75% of Whitton homes being houses, 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 this side of Richmond upon Thames. That paperwork is what most Richmond upon Thames letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat across TW2, with a median age of 41 in this neighbourhood.
Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray on the Whitton rounds — and this being London Borough of Richmond upon Thames territory, with 26% one-person households here, 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 Whitton TW2 price you agree is the price you pay on TW2 jobs, with Richmond upon Thames parking rules in play.
All three. With 20% of Whitton privately rented and 70% owner-occupied, roughly half the TW2 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door across TW2, with 20% of TW2 homes being privately rented.
