Westminster · SW1 · Bath and shower screen fitting
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Belgravia fitters · Fixed written pricesBath and shower screen fitting in Belgravia SW1, Westminster, from £110. Grosvenor estate stucco, embassies and cobbled mews behind Eaton Square, which is why our SW1 quotes account for estate parking rules, mews arches with height limits and listed staircases requiring protection. You get a fixed price in writing, an insured fitter and a tidy finish.
Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Belgravia SW1 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Westminster, most of them post-war. 3,844 households sit inside this SW1 patch, 92% of them flats, so we quote on access near Eaton Square rather than a London average.
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. Estate parking rules, mews arches with height limits and listed staircases requiring protection.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Sloane Square (Circle, District) is the nearest station, so a SW1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in SW1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in SW1, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — the pattern behind 3,844 households inside the SW1 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 Belgravia
Walk Belgravia from Eaton Square outwards and the post-war pattern is obvious: 92% of the 3,844 households in SW1 live in flats, 8% in houses.

Belgravia substrates run to often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in SW1, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — the pattern behind 3,844 households inside the SW1 neighbourhood is the mistake that costs a SW1 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Belgravia knows the pattern near Eaton Square: grosvenor estate stucco, embassies and cobbled mews behind Eaton Square. We plan the SW1 visit around it. Belgravia sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: estate parking rules, mews arches with height limits and listed staircases requiring protection. Sloane Square (Circle, 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.

Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Belgravia on this side of Westminster, with Westminster 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 in Belgravia. 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 around Sloane Square (Circle, District), with 3,844 households on this patch.
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Belgravia's older stock are rarely level along the rim on SW1 jobs, with 3,844 households on this patch — and this being Westminster City Council territory, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb. The problem we fix most here is in SW1, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — the pattern behind 3,844 households inside the SW1 neighbourhood around Sloane Square (Circle, District) — and 49% one-person households here, with 48% social-rented stock nearby.
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry on Westminster bookings, with Eaton Square a few streets away. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Belgravia bathrooms on the streets near Eaton Square.
Yes, from £65. With 92% of Belgravia 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 on Westminster bookings — and 22% owner-occupation locally, with a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood.
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover, with this being a short walk from Sloane Square (Circle, District) — and a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood, 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 SW1 jobs. That paperwork is what most Westminster letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on this side of Westminster, with 30% of SW1 homes being privately rented.
Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray on the Belgravia rounds — and Eaton Square a few streets away, with this being Westminster City Council territory, 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 Belgravia SW1 price you agree is the price you pay on SW1 jobs, with a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood.
All three. With 30% of Belgravia privately rented and 22% owner-occupied, roughly half the SW1 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door in this 92% flats neighbourhood — and a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood, with 49% one-person households here.
