Wandsworth · SW17 · Bath and shower screen fitting
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Tooting fitters · Fixed written pricesTooting SW17 is a regular stop on our Wandsworth round. Two covered markets, St George's Hospital and one of London's best food streets, 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
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Tooting Broadway, bath and shower screen fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £110. With 60% of Tooting's 22,241 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SW17 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
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. Broadway red route, market loading windows and permit-only terraced streets.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Tooting Broadway (Northern) is the nearest station, so a SW17 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in SW17, with solid brick on the party and external walls — where 43% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in SW17, 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 — the pattern behind 22,241 households inside the SW17 neighbourhood.
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.
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 Tooting
Walk Tooting from Tooting Market and Tooting Bec Lido outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 60% of the 22,241 households in SW17 live in flats, 40% in houses.
40% of households rent privately and 43% own, which is why bath and shower screen fitting demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are lath and plaster over timber studs in SW17, with solid brick on the party and external walls — where 43% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, so the fixing that matters in Tooting is chosen on site — the usual failure here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — the pattern behind 22,241 households inside the SW17 neighbourhood.
Anyone who knows Tooting knows the pattern near Tooting Market and Tooting Bec Lido: two covered markets, St George's Hospital and one of London's best food streets. We plan the SW17 visit around it. Tooting is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, broadway red route, market loading windows and permit-only terraced streets — 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 Tooting Broadway (Northern).

Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Tooting in this 60% flats neighbourhood, with 40% of Tooting homes being houses, 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 in Tooting, with 40% of SW17 homes being privately rented.
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Tooting's older stock are rarely level along the rim around Tooting Broadway (Northern), with 60% of homes here being flats, 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 — the pattern behind 22,241 households inside the SW17 neighbourhood across SW17 — and 28% one-person households here, with 22,241 households on this patch.
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry on Wandsworth bookings, with a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Tooting bathrooms in this 60% flats neighbourhood.
Yes, from £65. With 60% of Tooting 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 around Tooting Broadway (Northern), with 43% owner-occupation locally — and Wandsworth parking rules in play.
