Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Cheam SM3, explained
This page prices bath and shower screen fitting for Cheam SM3 specifically: inter-war stock, 15% privately rented and 13,016 households in total. Work starts at £110, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Sutton permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Cheam
Five steps, the same on every SM3 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In SM3, Inter-war and post-war semis with timber stud partitions and cavity outer walls — the pattern behind 13,016 households inside the SM3 neighbourhood 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 Cheam customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Cheam 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. Driveways on nearly every street; the village parade has short loading bays.
Booked around your day
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Cheam (Southern) is the nearest station, so a SM3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Cheam walls, not generic walls
We expect timber stud partitions inside in SM3, cavity brickwork outside, and with 24% one-person households in Cheam, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in SM3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Cheam stock goes, a median age of 42 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Cheam
Fixed prices for SM3 and the rest of Sutton. 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 Cheam
The same scope across SM3, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Cheam: drilling set for porcelain and ceramic tile with a pilot to stop the bit skating off the glaze, timed against the walk in from Cheam (Southern)
- On SM3 jobs: screen or door packed and shimmed level even where the bath or tray is not, agreed on the doorstep in Cheam before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Sutton bookings: neutral-cure silicone sealant used against tile and enamel, which will not corrode chrome fittings, allowing for the 15% of SM3 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Old sealant fully removed and the substrate dried before resealing, noted on the Cheam job sheet so the next visit starts from it
Not included
- Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray, which is quoted as a separate repair, which we refer on to the right trade in Cheam
- Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SM3
- Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down, outside the fixed price on Cheam bookings

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 →

Cheam SM3 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Cheam — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
In Cheam (SM3) the split is 21% flats to 79% houses over 13,016 households, and the stock is inter-war.
With 15% private renting against 81% owner-occupied, most SM3 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Expect timber stud partitions inside in SM3, cavity brickwork outside, and with 24% one-person households in Cheam, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site behind the plaster in SM3. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Cheam stock goes, a median age of 42 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the fault we are called back to undo.
A village centre with timber-framed buildings and Nonsuch Park on the edge. That character decides the practical detail of bath and shower screen fitting here far more than the borough boundary does. Cheam is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: driveways on nearly every street; the village parade has short loading bays. Cheam (Southern) is the nearest station, 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.

Common questions
Bath and shower screen fitting in Cheam SM3 — your questions.
How much does bath and shower screen fitting cost in Cheam SM3?
Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Cheam on this side of Sutton, with this being London Borough of Sutton territory, 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 SM3 jobs. 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 Nonsuch Park and Whitehall, Cheam, with Sutton parking rules in play.
Can you fit a shower screen on an old cast-iron bath in Cheam SM3?
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Cheam's older stock are rarely level along the rim across SM3 — and 4% social-rented stock nearby, with Sutton parking rules in play, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Cheam stock goes, a median age of 42 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here on Sutton bookings — and Nonsuch Park and Whitehall, Cheam a few streets away, with a median age of 42 in this neighbourhood.
Do you drill into tiles in SM3 without cracking them?
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry around Cheam (Southern), with a median age of 42 in this neighbourhood. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Cheam bathrooms.
I have mould around my old shower screen in Cheam — can you just reseal it?
Yes, from £65. With 21% of Cheam 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 Cheam — and Sutton parking rules in play, with this being London Borough of Sutton territory.
What is not included in bath and shower screen fitting in Cheam?
Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray in Cheam, with Nonsuch Park and Whitehall, Cheam a few streets away, 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 Cheam SM3 price you agree is the price you pay on this side of Sutton, with 15% of SM3 homes being privately rented.
Who books bath and shower screen fitting in Cheam SM3 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 15% of Cheam privately rented and 81% owner-occupied, roughly half the SM3 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door in Cheam — and a median age of 42 in this neighbourhood, with 21% of homes here being flats.
How quickly can you reach Cheam from your Sutton round?
Nonsuch Park and Whitehall, Cheam is the marker we route to on this side of Sutton, with 24% one-person households here, and driveways on nearly every street; the village parade has short loading bays. A SM3 slot added to an existing Sutton round usually lands the same week rather than the next in this 21% flats neighbourhood, with Sutton parking rules in play.
