Wandsworth · SW11 · Bath and shower screen fitting
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Clapham Junction fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for bath and shower screen fitting in Clapham Junction SW11? We work in Clapham Junction most weeks — britain's busiest interchange, St John's Hill and the streets between the commons — and price bath and shower screen fitting against that reality rather than a London average. Fixed written quote from £110, insured fitters, CE-marked toughened glass and every seal tooled clean.
Overview
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Clapham Junction, bath and shower screen fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £110. With 74% of Clapham Junction's 4,196 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SW11 shape the slot length we hold.
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
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Clapham Junction (Overground, Southern, South Western) is the nearest station, so a SW11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs, and with 34% one-person households in Clapham Junction, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in SW11, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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. Very tight CPZ, narrow streets with parked cars both sides and no rear access.
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 Clapham Junction
In Clapham Junction (SW11) the split is 74% flats to 26% houses over 4,196 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
Because 42% of Clapham Junction is privately rented and 18% socially rented, a lot of SW11 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs, and with 34% one-person households in Clapham Junction, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site behind the plaster in SW11. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the fault we are called back to undo.
Clapham Junction 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 — britain's busiest interchange, St John's Hill and the streets between the commons — which is why a SW11 quote is not a Wandsworth average.
On access, very tight CPZ, narrow streets with parked cars both sides and no rear access — one reason 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. Fitters travelling in use Clapham Junction (Overground, Southern, South Western).

Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Clapham Junction in this 74% flats neighbourhood, with 34% one-person households here — and 18% 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 Wandsworth bookings. 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 Clapham Junction rounds, with 74% of homes here being flats.
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Clapham Junction's older stock are rarely level along the rim around Clapham Junction (Overground, Southern, South Western), with Clapham Junction station and Northcote Road a few streets away — and Wandsworth 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 which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here on SW11 jobs — and a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood, with 26% of Clapham Junction homes being houses.
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry on the streets near Clapham Junction station and Northcote Road, with 18% social-rented stock nearby. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Clapham Junction bathrooms across SW11, with 26% of Clapham Junction homes being houses.
Yes, from £65. With 74% of Clapham Junction 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 for Clapham Junction (SW11) addresses — and 4,196 households on this patch, with 74% of homes here being flats.
Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray for Clapham Junction (SW11) addresses, with 74% of homes here being flats — and Wandsworth parking rules in play, 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 Clapham Junction SW11 price you agree is the price you pay on the streets near Clapham Junction station and Northcote Road, with this being London Borough of Wandsworth territory.
All three. With 42% of Clapham Junction privately rented and 39% owner-occupied, roughly half the SW11 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on the streets near Clapham Junction station and Northcote Road — and 74% of homes here being flats, with Wandsworth parking rules in play.
Clapham Junction station and Northcote Road is the marker we route to in this 74% flats neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from Clapham Junction (Overground, Southern, South Western) — and 26% of Clapham Junction homes being houses, and very tight CPZ, narrow streets with parked cars both sides and no rear access.
