If you've browsed the internet and DIY stores a bit, you know how expensive a shower screen can be.
But what about the installation of that famous screen?
From a few pounds to several hundred pounds for the installation, it’s tough to navigate such a wide price range.
Not to worry, Yoojo has you covered, as over 80 clients have already had their shower screens installed using our platform thanks to the amazing handymen available on it!
What are the market rates? How does it work? What prices should you expect?
We’ll explain everything and even provide you with examples of real prices paid by your neighbours for their shower screen installations.
What average price to expect for your shower screen installation?
Unlike many types of small jobs, your shower screen installer will rarely charge you by the hour, but rather per job.
The job will depend on the type of screen or shower door you want to install.
Depending on the model and size, your provider can easily tell you the installation price (we’ll provide examples a bit further down).
To give you an average price that can help clarify things, we analysed:
the installation prices offered on various websites
the average prices paid on Yoojo for a shower screen installation service
Traditional Company:
Yoojo:
You’ve probably noticed that the prices on Yoojo are lower than average. Here are the reasons:
- The providers are your neighbours, which reduces travel costs.
- Yoojo is a digital platform for personal services: it’s therefore quicker and cheaper than specialised companies.
- Booking starts from just 1 hour of service, with no minimum fee.
Examples of prices paid by our clients
The issue with an average price is that it doesn't apply to your specific situation.
However, by providing examples of jobs that have been completed through Yoojo, you’ll likely get a better idea of what to expect.
In the following lines, you’ll discover how much our clients paid for various types of shower screen installations, and we’ll also offer some tips to better understand what to expect.
Let’s go!
Example 1: Installing a B&Q shower screen
💰 Price paid: £30
⏳ Duration of the job: 1 hour
Let’s start our list of examples with a straightforward job to install a B&Q shower screen.
Nothing too complicated here, which is probably why the client only paid £30 for the installation!
Example 2: Changing a sliding shower screen from Homebase
💰 Price paid: £50
⏳ Duration of the job: 2 hours
Here’s a classic that is often requested on Yoojo: replacing an old shower screen that has seen better days.
In this case, the client had already purchased the screen from Homebase, but know that if you have no idea what to choose, you can discuss it with the providers before booking the one you like.
Indeed, you’ll find a free instant messaging service in your listing… Feel free to ask questions.
In the end, the client paid £50 for the installation of their sliding shower screen, what a bargain!
Example 3: Installing a pivoting shower door
💰 Price paid: £70
⏳ Duration of the job: 2 hours
This example is interesting because pivoting shower doors are a bit more complex to install, and this client lives in the Greater London area... This combination explains why the rate is higher than for a sliding shower screen installation, for example.
On Yoojo, there’s no fixed price. Providers interested in your listing will make a personalized offer based on your needs.
💡 Tip: You can add photos to your listing to show the work to be done and the environment in which the provider will complete the job.
Example 4: Installing a screen for a walk-in shower
💰 Price paid: £29
⏳ Duration of the job: 1 hour
This client from Hull had a problem: how to install a shower screen weighing 43 kg?
In this case, you have several options:
You can book two providers to carry out the job
You can assist the provider during the installation
Our client opted for solution number 2, which is why the super low price of £29!
💡 Tip: Did you know that Yoojo only connects you with qualified providers who live near you? It saves you a lot on travel costs!
Example 5: Repairing a poorly installed shower screen
💰 Price paid: £50
⏳ Duration of the job: 2 hours
Did you let your uncle Terry install your shower screen? Regretting it yet? :)
No worries, Yoojo can also help you find a quality tasker who can fix a poorly done installation.
Fortunately for this client, redoing the entire installation only cost £50… It could have been worse!
💡 Yoojo Tip: Each provider on our platform has their own profile that you can check out. You'll find their qualifications, years of experience, equipment, as well as ratings and reviews left by previous clients.
Choosing the right provider has never been easier!
Example 6: Requesting Multiple Installations at Once
💰 Price paid: £80
⏳ Duration of the job: 3 hours
Let’s wrap up our list of examples with a client from London who requested the installation of two shower screens and a washbasin.
It’s a good idea to request multiple small jobs at once, because on Yoojo, not only will you find lots of handymen in your area to carry out all your work, but you’ll also save on travel costs by getting everything done in one go!!!
Here, at £80 for 3 hours of service, it’s really a great deal for this client!
