Professional Shower Screen Installation
Specialist fitting for customer-supplied shower screens and complete installation projects across Wiltshire, Bath, Bristol and the surrounding Cotswolds. Send photographs before you buy or book and we will help check the screen, the finished bathroom and the most practical fitting route.
More than fixing glass to a tiled wall
Professional shower screen installation starts by confirming that the proposed product suits the completed shower area. The finished opening, manufacturer adjustment, wall condition, tray or bath, fixing zones, door clearance and likely water direction all affect whether the screen can be fitted successfully.
Once the fitting route is confirmed, the screen or enclosure is prepared, positioned, drilled, secured, aligned, adjusted and sealed. Door movement, seals and visible fitting details are then checked before clear advice is given on curing time, use, cleaning and care.
Customer-supplied screens are welcome, but fitting-only is not the only route. We can also help review a product before purchase, point you towards a suitable manufactured option or manage a made-to-measure installation where a standard screen will not work.
Shower screen installation is the complete process of checking product suitability, preparing the finished bathroom, accurately fitting and adjusting the screen, applying sealant in the correct locations and handing the installation over ready for safe use after the stated cure time.
Use the installation route that matches your project
You do not need to understand adjustment ranges, profile systems or glass support before getting in touch. Start with whichever position best describes where your bathroom project is now.
I already have the screen
Send the product link or model, photographs of the completed shower area, approximate measurements and postcode. We will review the likely fitting route before an installation date is agreed.
I have not bought it yet
Send the finished space before ordering. We can help identify whether a standard adjustable product appears suitable or whether the bathroom needs a different screen configuration.
My bathroom fitter needs a specialist
We can take responsibility for the screen or enclosure stage once the tray, bath, tiles, panels and surrounding finishes are ready for installation.

Customer-supplied shower screens are welcome
Screens purchased online, through a bathroom showroom, from a plumbing merchant or supplied as part of a wider bathroom project can all be considered for fitting.
Before booking, the exact product and completed shower area need to be reviewed together. A headline tray size alone does not confirm that the screen will fit once tiling, wall variation, profiles, adjustment and door movement are taken into account.

- Close photographs of the tray, bath and wall zones

Keep the product boxed where possible
Safe packaging protects the glass and helps keep profiles, seals, handles, screws and instructions together until the installation is ready to begin.
Check the finished bathroom before choosing the product
A screen advertised for a particular tray size does not automatically fit every bathroom using that nominal tray. Tiles, adhesive, wall boards, wall angles and manufacturer adjustment all affect the usable finished opening.
Finished opening
The usable width is checked from the completed tiled or panelled surfaces rather than assumed from the tray label.
Wall plumb and tile condition
Walls that lean, uneven tiles and raised patterns can reduce adjustment or prevent profiles sitting neatly.
Door movement and access
Basins, toilets, radiators and narrow walkways may rule out an otherwise suitable hinged-door layout.
Fixing surfaces
Profiles, channels, hinges and support fittings need appropriate fixing areas behind the visible bathroom finish.
Water direction
Shower-head position, panel length, door gaps and tray or floor falls influence practical splash control.
Manufacturer adjustment
The actual technical adjustment range matters more than the simplified size displayed in a product title.
Careful preparation, installation and handover
The precise method varies by screen, but the objective remains the same: a securely fitted product that operates correctly, is sealed in the right places and is handed over with clear expectations.
Product and component check
Glass, profiles, seals, fittings, instructions and the selected configuration are checked before assembly begins.
Protection and setting out
The work area is prepared and the screen is positioned around the finished surfaces before holes are committed.
Controlled drilling and fixing
Suitable drilling methods and fixings are selected for the tile, panel, stone or other finished wall surface.
Alignment and adjustment
Panels, doors, rollers, pivots, hinges and magnetic seals are aligned so the screen works as intended.
Correct sealing
Sealant is applied where required without unnecessarily blocking drainage paths or trapping water in profiles.
Final handover
Door operation, visible details and seals are checked before cure time, cleaning and future care are explained.
From initial photographs to final handover
We guide the project through the correct sequence so you do not need to resolve product tolerances, fixing methods or sealing details on your own.
Send photos and details
Send the shower area, product link or screen type, measurements, postcode and project timing.
Review suitability
We check the likely product fit, wall and tray conditions, access, door movement and information still required.
Install, align and seal
The screen is prepared, set out, secured, adjusted and sealed using the appropriate installation route.
Inspect and hand over
We complete the final checks and explain cure time, when the shower can be used, cleaning and future care.
Send the bathroom before you send the booking
Clear photographs and the product details allow us to give useful advice, identify visible concerns and provide a more reliable installation quotation.

Installation cost depends on the product and site conditions
A straightforward screen is different from a heavy multi-panel enclosure, replacement project or installation requiring specialist handling. Photographs and product details help us price the correct scope rather than rely on a generic headline figure.
Screen type and complexity
Panel count, door system, frame assembly, adjustment points and hardware all influence installation time.
Glass size and handling
Large or heavy panels can require additional installers, handling equipment and an access plan.
Wall and tile conditions
Hard porcelain, stone, uneven surfaces and uncertain fixing zones can require slower specialist preparation.
Existing-screen removal
Removing old profiles, cleaning sealant and assessing hidden holes or damaged finishes adds to the work involved.
Access and location
Stairs, parking, restricted property access, panel weight and travel can affect the final quotation.
Additional parts or work
Replacement seals, specialist fixings, missing components or remedial preparation are identified where possible in advance.
Replacing an old, damaged or leaking shower screen
Removing an existing screen can reveal old fixing holes, silicone residue, damaged grout, discolouration or different profile positions. The replacement route considers the old installation, the condition left behind and whether the proposed new screen will cover or reuse the available fitting zones.
Move the project to the correct specialist solution
Some bathrooms cannot be accommodated by a standard adjustable screen. This may be because of an unusual finished opening, restricted ceiling height, a steep ceiling slope, a half-height wall, an angled return, uneven tiling or architectural constraints outside normal manufacturer adjustment ranges.
Made-to-measure screens
Professionally measured glass produced around the completed opening rather than a nominal tray size.

Solutions for unusual finished widths, wall conditions, layouts and openings outside standard tolerances.
View non-standard screens →Reduced-height screens
Shower glass for restricted headroom and openings where normal manufactured screen heights are unsuitable.

Frequently asked questions
Practical answers about customer-supplied screens, preparation, installation timing, drilling, sealant and what happens when a proposed product is not suitable.
Can you install a shower screen that I bought online?
Yes. Customer-supplied screens, doors and enclosures are welcome. Send the product link or model together with photographs, measurements and the installation postcode so the likely suitability can be checked before booking.
Should I buy the shower screen before contacting you?
Not necessarily. Contacting us before purchase can help identify whether the proposed product size, adjustment, door movement and fixing route appear suitable for the finished bathroom.
Does the bathroom need to be finished before the screen is installed?
Normally, yes. The tray or bath, tiles or wall panels and relevant surrounding finishes should be complete, secure and ready for drilling. Any exceptions should be discussed before the installation is arranged.
How long does shower screen installation take?
A straightforward screen may be completed during one appointment. Large enclosures, difficult access, existing-screen removal and more complicated assembly or adjustment can take longer. The likely duration is explained after reviewing the project details.
When can the shower be used after installation?
The shower should remain unused until the applied sealant has cured sufficiently. The specific waiting time is confirmed during handover because it depends on the sealant and installation conditions.
Can you drill porcelain, stone or large-format tiles?
Often, yes. The tile condition, material, drilling position and fixing requirement are assessed first. Suitable specialist drilling methods are used, but no finished surface should be treated as completely risk free.
What happens if the shower screen I bought does not fit?
We explain why the product appears unsuitable and identify the practical alternatives. The answer may be a different adjustable screen, another door configuration, a replacement product or a made-to-measure solution.
Will a professionally installed shower screen be completely watertight?
Shower screens are intended to control normal spray and splash, but performance also depends on panel length, door gaps, seals, tray or floor falls, shower-head direction and how the shower is used. A minimal or frameless installation should not automatically be described as completely watertight.
Can you remove the existing shower screen first?
Existing-screen removal can normally be included. Photographs help identify the likely scope, but hidden holes, damaged grout, silicone residue and different fixing positions may only become fully visible after the old screen is removed.
Do you provide a fixed-price installation quote?
Where the product and site conditions can be confirmed in advance, we provide a fixed-price quotation for the agreed installation scope. Any remaining assumptions or possible additional work are explained before the appointment is booked.
Need a shower screen professionally installed?
Send photographs of the shower area, the product link or screen type, approximate measurements and your postcode. We will explain the most suitable next step.
