Westminster · W1 · Bath and shower screen fitting
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Fitzrovia fitters · Fixed written pricesBath and shower screen fitting in Fitzrovia W1, Westminster, from £110. Media offices, university buildings and Georgian terraces around Charlotte Street, which is why our W1 quotes account for weekday CPZ, narrow service roads and buildings with staircase-only access above the second floor. You get a fixed price in writing, an insured fitter and a tidy finish.
Overview
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Goodge Street, bath and shower screen fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £110. With 98% of Fitzrovia's 4,257 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in W1 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. Weekday CPZ, narrow service roads and buildings with staircase-only access above the second floor.
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Goodge Street (Northern) is the nearest station, so a W1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Fitzrovia, with metal stud partitions between rooms — where 20% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in W1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — measured on the walk in from Goodge Street (Northern) rather than assumed from a map.
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 Fitzrovia
The W1 stock around The BT Tower is Georgian and early Victorian. ONS records 98% flats, 2% houses and 4,257 households in Fitzrovia.
52% of households rent privately and 20% own, which is why bath and shower screen fitting demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Fitzrovia substrates run to dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Fitzrovia, with metal stud partitions between rooms — where 20% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — measured on the walk in from Goodge Street (Northern) rather than assumed from a map is the mistake that costs a W1 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Fitzrovia knows the pattern near The BT Tower: media offices, university buildings and Georgian terraces around Charlotte Street. We plan the W1 visit around it. Fitzrovia sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Weekday CPZ, narrow service roads and buildings with staircase-only access above the second floor. Nearest station is Goodge Street (Northern), 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 Fitzrovia across W1, with this being a short walk from Goodge Street (Northern), 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 around Goodge Street (Northern). 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 this 98% flats neighbourhood, with 28% social-rented stock nearby.
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Fitzrovia's older stock are rarely level along the rim on this side of Westminster, with The BT Tower a few streets away — and Westminster 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 short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — measured on the walk in from Goodge Street (Northern) rather than assumed from a map on W1 jobs, with 20% owner-occupation locally — and 4,257 households on this patch.
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry on the Fitzrovia rounds, with 53% one-person households here. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Fitzrovia bathrooms on Westminster bookings.
Yes, from £65. With 98% of Fitzrovia 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 53% one-person households here, with this being a short walk from Goodge Street (Northern).
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover, with 2% of Fitzrovia homes being houses — and 28% 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 in Fitzrovia. That paperwork is what most Westminster letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on Westminster bookings, with 28% social-rented stock nearby.
Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray across W1, with 2% of Fitzrovia homes being houses — and The BT Tower a few streets away, 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 Fitzrovia W1 price you agree is the price you pay on the Fitzrovia rounds, with The BT Tower a few streets away.
All three. With 52% of Fitzrovia privately rented and 20% owner-occupied, roughly half the W1 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on Westminster bookings — and The BT Tower a few streets away, with 53% one-person households here.
