Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Putney SW15, explained
Bath and shower screen fitting in Putney SW15 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Wandsworth, most of them mainly Victorian. 20,613 households sit inside this SW15 patch, 72% of them flats, so we quote on access near Putney Bridge and the Boat Race start rather than a London average.
How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Putney
Five steps, the same on every SW15 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard on these streets — and with 31% one-person households in Putney, 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 Putney customers book us
What follows is specific to Putney: its walls, its access and the paperwork Wandsworth agents ask for.
Putney walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Putney, with metal stud partitions between rooms, the pattern behind 20,613 households inside the SW15 neighbourhood in SW15, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Putney gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, and with 38% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Insured and documented
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.
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. Boat Race day closures, Putney High Street bus gate and mansion blocks with small lifts.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Putney
Fixed prices for SW15 and the rest of Wandsworth. 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 Putney
The same scope across SW15, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Wandsworth bookings: drilling set for porcelain and ceramic tile with a pilot to stop the bit skating off the glaze, allowing for the 38% of SW15 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Screen or door packed and shimmed level even where the bath or tray is not, noted on the Putney job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Putney: neutral-cure silicone sealant used against tile and enamel, which will not corrode chrome fittings, timed against the walk in from Putney (South Western)
- On SW15 jobs: old sealant fully removed and the substrate dried before resealing, agreed on the doorstep in Putney before anything is unpacked
Not included
- Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray, which is quoted as a separate repair, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SW15
- Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking, outside the fixed price on Putney bookings
- Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down, handled by London Borough of Wandsworth or a specialist contractor instead

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 →

Putney SW15 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Putney — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
In Putney (SW15) the split is 72% flats to 28% houses over 20,613 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
Because 38% of Putney is privately rented and 14% socially rented, a lot of SW15 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Putney, with metal stud partitions between rooms, the pattern behind 20,613 households inside the SW15 neighbourhood behind the plaster in SW15. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Putney gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, and with 38% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the fault we are called back to undo.
Putney 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 — the Boat Race start, the embankment rowing clubs and the high street shops — which is why a SW15 quote is not a Wandsworth average.
Boat Race day closures, Putney High Street bus gate and mansion blocks with small lifts. Nearest station is Putney (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.
