Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Southfields SW18, explained
Bath and shower screen fitting in Southfields SW18 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Wandsworth, most of them mainly Edwardian. 3,815 households sit inside this SW18 patch, 44% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Southfields Grid and the AELTC entrance rather than a London average.
How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Southfields
Five steps, the same on every SW18 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings on these streets — and championship-fortnight parking bans, narrow grid streets and permit bays 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 Southfields customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Southfields 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. Championship-fortnight parking bans, narrow Grid streets and permit bays.
Booked around your day
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Southfields (District) is the nearest station, so a SW18 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Southfields walls, not generic walls
We expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, which is what a 44% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Southfields actually produces in SW18, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Southfields gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, the pattern behind 3,815 households inside the SW18 neighbourhood.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Southfields
Fixed prices for SW18 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 Southfields
The same scope across SW18, 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 33% of SW18 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 Southfields job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Southfields: neutral-cure silicone sealant used against tile and enamel, which will not corrode chrome fittings, timed against the walk in from Southfields (District)
- On SW18 jobs: old sealant fully removed and the substrate dried before resealing, agreed on the doorstep in Southfields before anything is unpacked
Not included
- Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray, which is quoted as a separate repair, outside the fixed price on Southfields bookings
- Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking, and we will say so before the SW18 visit rather than on the day
- Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down, which we refer on to the right trade in Southfields

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 →

Southfields SW18 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Southfields — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
3,815 households sit inside the SW18 neighbourhood covering Southfields. The build is mainly Edwardian, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 44% of those homes are flats.
Because 33% of Southfields is privately rented and 6% socially rented, a lot of SW18 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Southfields substrates run to solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, which is what a 44% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Southfields actually produces. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Southfields gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, the pattern behind 3,815 households inside the SW18 neighbourhood is the mistake that costs a SW18 customer twice.
The Grid — a planned Edwardian estate that becomes the Wimbledon gateway each June. That character decides the practical detail of bath and shower screen fitting here far more than the borough boundary does. Southfields 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: championship-fortnight parking bans, narrow Grid streets and permit bays. Southfields (District) 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 Southfields SW18 — your questions.
How much does bath and shower screen fitting cost in Southfields SW18?
Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Southfields across SW18, with Wandsworth parking rules in play, 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 this side of Wandsworth. 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 SW18 jobs, with this being London Borough of Wandsworth territory.
Can you fit a shower screen on an old cast-iron bath in Southfields SW18?
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Southfields's older stock are rarely level along the rim on the Southfields rounds, with a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood — and 6% social-rented stock nearby, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is Southfields gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, the pattern behind 3,815 households inside the SW18 neighbourhood on Wandsworth bookings — and 33% of SW18 homes being privately rented, with this being London Borough of Wandsworth territory.
Do you drill into tiles in SW18 without cracking them?
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry for Southfields (SW18) addresses, with 6% social-rented stock nearby. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Southfields bathrooms on the streets near The Southfields Grid and the AELTC entrance.
I have mould around my old shower screen in Southfields — can you just reseal it?
Yes, from £65. With 44% of Southfields 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 Southfields — and 6% social-rented stock nearby, with The Southfields Grid and the AELTC entrance a few streets away.
Do you handle difficult access in Southfields?
Championship-fortnight parking bans, narrow Grid streets and permit bays for Southfields (SW18) addresses. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Wandsworth it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on the streets near The Southfields Grid and the AELTC entrance, with this being London Borough of Wandsworth territory.
Are your fitters insured for work in SW18?
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover, with 6% social-rented stock nearby, 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 SW18 jobs — and Wandsworth parking rules in play. That paperwork is what most Wandsworth letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on the Southfields rounds, with 61% owner-occupation locally.
What is not included in bath and shower screen fitting in Southfields?
Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray on Wandsworth bookings, with The Southfields Grid and the AELTC entrance a few streets away — and a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood, 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 Southfields SW18 price you agree is the price you pay on the Southfields rounds, with 33% of SW18 homes being privately rented.
