Southwark · SE22 · Bath and shower screen fitting
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local East Dulwich fitters · Fixed written pricesEast Dulwich SE22 is a regular stop on our Southwark round. Lordship Lane's shops and rows of bay-fronted Victorian family houses, 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
This page prices bath and shower screen fitting for East Dulwich SE22 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 25% privately rented and 3,337 households in total. Work starts at £110, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Southwark permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
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 solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — measured on the walk in from East Dulwich (Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map in SE22, 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 on these streets — the reality on the streets around Dulwich Park.
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. Narrow terraced streets, resident bays and side returns too tight for a Luton.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. East Dulwich (Thameslink) is the nearest station, so a SE22 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 East Dulwich
Census 2021 puts East Dulwich at 3,337 households with a median age of 36. The mainly Victorian stock is owner-occupier-led, which is why 57% houses and 43% flats need different handling in SE22.
Private renting sits at 25% and owner-occupation at 58%; the first group books bath and shower screen fitting at short notice, the second plans it.
East Dulwich substrates run to solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — measured on the walk in from East Dulwich (Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — the reality on the streets around Dulwich Park is the mistake that costs a SE22 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in East Dulwich: lordship Lane's shops and rows of bay-fronted Victorian family houses. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. East Dulwich sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Narrow terraced streets, resident bays and side returns too tight for a Luton. Nearest station is East Dulwich (Thameslink), 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 East Dulwich across SE22, with 26% one-person households here — and 16% social-rented stock nearby, 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 the streets near Dulwich Park. 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 SE22 jobs, with 43% of homes here being flats.
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in East Dulwich's older stock are rarely level along the rim on this side of Southwark — and this being London Borough of Southwark territory, with this being a short walk from East Dulwich (Thameslink), 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 on these streets — the reality on the streets around Dulwich Park on SE22 jobs, with 57% of East Dulwich homes being houses.
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry on this side of Southwark, with 25% of SE22 homes being privately rented. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in East Dulwich bathrooms across SE22, with Dulwich Park a few streets away.
Yes, from £65. With 43% of East Dulwich 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 this side of Southwark — and 26% one-person households here, with this being a short walk from East Dulwich (Thameslink).
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover, with 3,337 households on this patch — and Southwark parking rules in play, 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 across SE22. That paperwork is what most Southwark letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on the streets near Dulwich Park, with a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood.
Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray for East Dulwich (SE22) addresses, 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 East Dulwich SE22 price you agree is the price you pay in this 43% flats neighbourhood, with Southwark parking rules in play.
All three. With 25% of East Dulwich privately rented and 58% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE22 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door across SE22 — and Dulwich Park a few streets away, with Southwark parking rules in play.
