Mobile shower screen supply and install

Homeowners doing bathroom updates, landlords and property managers, and small builders and renovators who want a reliable installer.

Fixed price per screen covering glass, hardware and fitting. You earn the margin on supplied materials plus your labour, and can add silicone resealing and repairs.

• Accurate measuring
• Practical fitting skills
• Quoting and customer service
• Safe handling of heavy glass

• Check whether your state or territory requires a licence or registration for glazing or minor building work
• Public liability insurance, plus product and workmanship cover
• Glass must meet Australian safety glass standards, so check with your supplier
• Measuring errors on made-to-measure glass can be costly, so confirm sizes carefully
• Heavy glass is a manual handling risk, so plan lifting aids and a second person for large panels
• Waterproofing problems behind tiles can lead to disputes, so check what you are responsible for

Startup costs are typically estimated at around $4,000 to $15,000, depending on your vehicle, tools, lifting aids and insurance. Working from a ute or van and a home office, rather than a shop, helps keep costs lower.

Monthly revenue is typically estimated at around $3,000 to $15,000, depending on how many hours you work, how many jobs you win and the types of screens you fit. These figures are revenue, before glass and other costs.

Check whether your state or territory requires a licence or registration for glazing or minor building work. Also check insurance, that glass meets Australian safety glass standards with your supplier, and what you are responsible for if waterproofing problems arise.
