Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Paddington W2, explained
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Paddington, bath and shower screen fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £110. With 87% of Paddington's 3,981 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in W2 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Paddington
Five steps, the same on every W2 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In W2, New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard — and with 45% one-person households in Paddington, 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 Paddington customers book us
What follows is specific to Paddington: its walls, its access and the paperwork Westminster agents ask for.
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. Basin estate loading bays, red routes on Bishop's Bridge Road and stucco terraces with basement steps.
Booked around your day
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Paddington (Elizabeth line, Bakerloo, Circle, National Rail) is the nearest station, so a W2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Paddington walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Paddington, with metal stud partitions between rooms, measured on the walk in from Paddington (Elizabeth line, Bakerloo, Circle, National Rail) rather than assumed from a map in W2, 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, as the Paddington stock goes, the reality on the streets around Paddington Basin and Little Venice.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Paddington
Fixed prices for W2 and the rest of Westminster. 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 Paddington
The same scope across W2, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Paddington: drilling set for porcelain and ceramic tile with a pilot to stop the bit skating off the glaze, the way it is done on Paddington jobs
- On W2 jobs: screen or door packed and shimmed level even where the bath or tray is not, with 87% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Westminster bookings: neutral-cure silicone sealant used against tile and enamel, which will not corrode chrome fittings, arranged with Westminster City Council where the kerb needs it
- Old sealant fully removed and the substrate dried before resealing — including local bath and shower screen fitting
Not included
- Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray, which is quoted as a separate repair, which we refer on to the right trade in Paddington
- Tanking or waterproof membrane repair behind tiles found to be leaking, quoted separately if you need it arranged in W2
- Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down, outside the fixed price on Paddington bookings

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 →

Paddington W2 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Paddington — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
In Paddington (W2) the split is 87% flats to 13% houses over 3,981 households, and the stock is period conversion.
The renter-heavy mix here (30% owned, 54% privately rented) means a W2 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Paddington, with metal stud partitions between rooms, measured on the walk in from Paddington (Elizabeth line, Bakerloo, Circle, National Rail) rather than assumed from a map behind the plaster in W2. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Paddington stock goes, the reality on the streets around Paddington Basin and Little Venice is the fault we are called back to undo.
Canal basin offices and hotels beside Bayswater's stucco terraces and Hyde Park. That character decides the practical detail of bath and shower screen fitting here far more than the borough boundary does. Paddington sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, basin estate loading bays, red routes on Bishop's Bridge Road and stucco terraces with basement steps — 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 Paddington (Elizabeth line, Bakerloo, Circle, National Rail).

Common questions
Bath and shower screen fitting in Paddington W2 — your questions.
How much does bath and shower screen fitting cost in Paddington W2?
Pivot screen on a bath starts at £110 in Paddington on W2 jobs, with this being Westminster City Council territory, 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 the streets near Paddington Basin and Little Venice. 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 Westminster bookings, with Westminster parking rules in play.
Can you fit a shower screen on an old cast-iron bath in Paddington W2?
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Paddington's older stock are rarely level along the rim on the streets near Paddington Basin and Little Venice, with 3,981 households on this patch, 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, as the Paddington stock goes, the reality on the streets around Paddington Basin and Little Venice on W2 jobs — and Westminster parking rules in play, with 87% of homes here being flats.
Do you drill into tiles in W2 without cracking them?
Yes, with a slow pilot hole and a bit rated for porcelain rather than standard masonry on this side of Westminster, with 87% of homes here being flats. Cracked glaze is the most common DIY mistake we're called to fix in Paddington bathrooms in this 87% flats neighbourhood.
I have mould around my old shower screen in Paddington — can you just reseal it?
Yes, from £65. With 87% of Paddington 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 across W2 — and 16% social-rented stock nearby, with Westminster parking rules in play.
What is not included in bath and shower screen fitting in Paddington?
Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray on this side of Westminster, with 13% of Paddington homes being houses — and 54% of W2 homes being privately rented, 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 Paddington W2 price you agree is the price you pay in this 87% flats neighbourhood, with Paddington Basin and Little Venice a few streets away.
Who books bath and shower screen fitting in Paddington W2 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 54% of Paddington privately rented and 30% owner-occupied, roughly half the W2 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on the streets near Paddington Basin and Little Venice, with 30% owner-occupation locally — and 13% of Paddington homes being houses.
How quickly can you reach Paddington from your Westminster round?
Paddington Basin and Little Venice is the marker we route to on W2 jobs, with 54% of W2 homes being privately rented — and 13% of Paddington homes being houses, and basin estate loading bays, red routes on Bishop's Bridge Road and stucco terraces with basement steps. A W2 slot added to an existing Westminster round usually lands the same week rather than the next around Paddington (Elizabeth line, Bakerloo, Circle, National Rail), with this being a short walk from Paddington (Elizabeth line, Bakerloo, Circle, National Rail).
