Bathroom Renovation in Ontario

Bathrooms are the smallest rooms in the house and the most demanding to renovate. Everything is wet, everything is close together, and everything layers: waterproofing under tile, plumbing behind walls, ventilation above the ceiling. A bathroom that looks great for six months is easy. One that's still tight and dry in fifteen years is a matter of doing the boring layers properly.

A typical renovation strips the room to studs and subfloor, fixes what time has done — there's nearly always something soft around an old tub — then rebuilds: proper waterproofing in the wet zone, in-wall plumbing by licensed hands, tile, a vanity that actually stores things, decent lighting, and a fan that moves enough air to keep the mirror clear and the paint on the ceiling.

Smaller versions are just as welcome. A new vanity and toilet with fresh paint reads as a new bathroom for a fraction of the cost. Keeping the tub and retiling around it is a classic middle path. Tell us what's wrong with the bathroom you have, and we'll quote the renovation that fixes it — not the biggest one imaginable.

What this covers

  • Full gut renovations and partial refreshes
  • Tub and shower replacement, including tub-to-shower conversions
  • Waterproofing of wet areas before any tile goes on
  • Floor and wall tiling
  • Vanity, toilet, and fixture installation
  • In-wall plumbing by licensed plumbers
  • Lighting and exhaust fans by a Licensed Electrical Contractor
  • Heated floor installation while the floor is open
  • Demolition, disposal and dust control

What affects the price

  • Whether fixtures stay put or move — relocating the toilet or shower drain drives cost
  • What demolition reveals around the old tub and toilet flange
  • Tile coverage: floor only, wainscot height, or floor-to-ceiling
  • Shower type — a prefab base is quicker; a tiled curbless shower is craftsmanship
  • Fixture and vanity choices
  • Ventilation — adding or upgrading a fan with a proper exterior duct
  • Heated floors, niches, glass panels and the other nice-to-haves
  • Whether it's the only bathroom in the house — schedule pressure is real

Common questions

How long does a bathroom renovation take?
A full gut-to-finish on a standard bathroom typically runs two to three weeks — demolition and rough-ins early, then waterproofing, tile, and fixtures, with grout and silicone cure time at the end. Partial refreshes can be days. If it's your only bathroom, we plan the toilet's downtime in hours, not days.
Do I need a permit for a bathroom renovation?
Replacing fixtures where they stand: generally no. Moving drains, adding a new bathroom, or altering structure or wiring: yes, permits and licensed trades come into it. Ontario treats plumbing as a licensed trade and electrical as Licensed Electrical Contractor work either way — that part isn't optional and we build it in.
What actually matters most in a bathroom reno?
Waterproofing and ventilation — the two things you can't see when it's done. A membrane behind the tile in the wet zone and a fan that genuinely exhausts outside will decide how this bathroom looks in a decade. Fixtures are easy to change later; the layers underneath aren't.
Can I keep my tub and just redo the tile around it?
If the tub's in good shape, that's a sensible renovation — the surround comes off, the wall gets checked and waterproofed, new tile goes up. It's a fraction of a full gut. The honest caveat: once the old tile is off, whatever the wall's been hiding is on the table. We'll show you before proceeding.
Is a heated floor worth it?
If you're already tiling the floor, the incremental cost is modest and it's the upgrade people say they'd never give up — an Ontario bathroom floor in January makes the case for itself. The electrical connection goes through a Licensed Electrical Contractor. Retrofitting later without redoing the floor isn't practical, so decide now.
