Frameless shower screens in Edmonton
The price depends mainly on panel sizes, the number of panels, glass thickness, the hinge and bracing hardware, and any cut-outs for sloping ceilings, trays or skirting. Low-iron or satin glass, an easy-clean coating and special finishes add cost. See the guide prices for typical ranges.
Screens should be measured after tiling is finished, not from plans. Walls are often out of plumb and floors fall towards the drain, and the glass is made to follow those real angles. Measuring early is a common cause of uneven gaps and leaks.
Toughened glass can very occasionally break on its own because of nickel sulphide inclusions. Heat soak testing to BS EN 14179 reduces that risk by breaking flawed panels in the factory, though it cannot remove it completely, and it can be specified for any screen.
Shower screen glass is toughened safety glass made to BS EN 12150. It is heated and then quickly cooled during manufacture, which makes it much stronger than ordinary glass and means that if it does break, it breaks into small, blunt pieces rather than sharp shards.
What's included
- Made-to-measure toughened safety glass with factory-made holes
- Survey and measurement once tiling is complete
- Fixing into solid backing, levelled and aligned
- Easy-clean coating where specified, plus care advice
About Edmonton for this job
- Postcodes covered
- N9, N18, N21 and the surrounding area, including Tottenham, Enfield and Chingford
- Coast
- Edmonton is well inland, around 35 km from the nearest coast, so salt exposure is not usually a factor.
- Daylight and sun
- In Edmonton the midwinter sun reaches about 15° above the horizon at noon, with roughly 7.6 hours of daylight, rising to about 62° and 16.4 hours in midsummer. Bathrooms with small or north-facing windows benefit from clear or low-iron glass that does not block the daylight available. Where a window looks onto the shower, a satin band or obscure glass gives privacy without making the room feel darker.
- Access and setting
- Flats often mean carrying large panels up stairs or in small lifts, so panel sizes may need splitting. Building rules on working hours and noise, and bathrooms above other homes, make careful sealing and protection of finishes especially important.
- Rules in England
- Approved Document K requires safety glass in critical locations in England: glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door, up to 1500 mm above floor level, and any glazing in walls or partitions up to 800 mm above floor level.

Choosing your shower screens
Pivot door
A door that swings on pivots set in from its edge, useful where the swing space in front of the shower is limited.
Satin or tinted glass

Hinged door enclosure
A glass door on wall or glass hinges with fixed side panels, suiting alcoves, corners and trays where a fully enclosed shower is wanted.
Shower Screens in Edmonton: questions
How long does it take to fit a shower screen?
Most shower screens are fitted in a single visit once the glass has been made, which usually takes a couple of weeks after measuring. The silicone then needs time to cure, so you should wait before using the shower, and we tell you how long on the day. Your quote confirms the expected timescale.
Can a shower screen be fitted to a stud or plasterboard wall?
Yes, provided the hinges and brackets fix into solid backing. On stud or plasterboard walls that usually means timber noggins behind the fixing points, or suitable heavy-duty fixings where noggins were not fitted. A heavy glass door on weak fixings can drop or pull away, so we check the wall during the survey.
Why have a shower screen made to measure instead of buying one?
A made-to-measure screen fits the space exactly, which matters where walls are out of plumb, ceilings slope, trays are non-standard or the opening is an unusual width. Off-the-shelf enclosures rely on adjustment profiles that can leave wide gaps or visible frames. Bespoke glass follows the real shape of the room and keeps sealant lines neat.
When should my shower screen be measured?
Your screen should be measured once the walls are tiled and the tray or wet room floor is finished. The glass is made to follow the exact angles of the finished surfaces, and tiles, adhesive and trims all change the dimensions. If you are mid-renovation, we can advise on fixing positions and backing before tiling starts.
