What does bath or shower screen replacement cost in Ireland?

Describe the symptom accurately: water escapes below the screen, the door catches, a hinge is loose or a roller no longer runs properly. Photograph the product and any accessible model label. A professional can assess whether compatible replacement parts are available and whether the rest of the assembly remains serviceable.

Do not assume all leaks come from the screen. The bath edge, tray, drainage or surrounding wall may need assessment. Tell the fitter when the leak happens and where water appears. Replacing the visible glass without diagnosing the cause can leave the original fault unresolved.

If glass is cracked, unstable or damaged, stop using the affected enclosure and keep people away from it. Do not continue swinging the panel to demonstrate the problem or attempt to cut or drill the glass. Arrange assessment and safe removal by an appropriate professional.

A screen resting along a bath edge, a door across a shower recess and a fixed walk-in panel have different dimensions and installation requirements. Name the type in your request. A product price for an over-bath screen is not evidence of the cost of replacing a complete shower enclosure.

Include whether the existing bath is straight or shaped, the enclosure layout and the direction a hinged door needs to open. Ask the fitter to check the manufacturer's actual adjustment range and compatibility. A headline width alone is not sufficient to order a screen for an uneven or out-of-square opening.

Keep existing installation instructions if you have them. SONAS product pages provide specifications and downloads for particular models. The LUNAR SB6, for example, has its own dimensions and adjustment specification; these should not be transferred to another product because both are described as bath screens.[2]

• Exact replacement product and finish, including supplied supports and seals.
• Delivery, inspection and safe removal of the existing screen or enclosure.
• Installation, suitable fixings and the specified sealing arrangement.
• Tile, wall or bath-edge repairs discovered during removal.
• Disposal, VAT where applicable and any return visit.
• Testing, handover and the earliest time the shower can be used again.

Ask for a fitted total against this scope. Where hidden damage cannot be assessed initially, agree how extra work will be quoted and approved. A cheap supply-only offer is not comparable with a contractor's price including removal, repair and installation.

If you buy the product yourself, confirm who checks that it suits the opening and what happens if it arrives damaged or is the wrong size. Arrange delivery before the fitting date with time to inspect it. Do not assume the installer absorbs the cost of a second attendance caused by an unsuitable purchase.

A replacement profile may not cover the old fixing holes. Send close-ups of the existing wall connection alongside a wider bathroom photograph. Ask whether filling or tile replacement is included and whether a compatible repair can be completed without damaging the surrounding waterproofing.

Woodie's bath-screen guide highlights checking the wall construction and hidden services before drilling. Its instructions are an example for a particular fitting approach, not a reason to bypass the replacement manufacturer's instructions. Have the installer assess the substrate, fixing arrangement and sealing details for the selected product.[3]

Avoid asking for silicone around every visible joint as a universal remedy. Different products have specific sealing and drainage arrangements. Request installation to the applicable instructions and ask the fitter to explain any area deliberately left unsealed.

Ask the fitter to demonstrate the movement, closures and supports, and explain the checks performed. Confirm when the enclosure can be used after sealing rather than choosing an arbitrary drying period. Keep the product manual, cleaning guidance and invoice together.

Distinguish the installation guarantee from the manufacturer's product cover. SONAS states separate cover for glass and profiles versus perishable components such as seals and hinges on the example product. Do not assume every component of every screen has the same guarantee, and ask who handles a later leak or adjustment.[2]

Illustrative brief: 'Assess a leaking over-bath screen and quote for repair if compatible parts are available, or replacement if needed. Bath and tiles are staying. Photographs and approximate dimensions attached. Please confirm final measurements and include removal, fitting, sealing and disposal, with wall repairs and product supply itemised.'
