Bathroom Renovation

It depends on the size and the finishes. You get a written, itemised quote up front.

Yes. We cover the path in and out and clean up each day.

Yes. We handle design, drawings and the permits your project needs, so you are not managing separate people for each step.

You get a written, itemised quote before any work begins, with materials, labour and scope laid out, so there are no surprises at the end.

It depends on the scope, but we give you a realistic schedule with the quote and keep you posted as the work moves.

We hand the space back done and clean, and our own cleaning crews can take it further if you want.

It depends on three things more than anything else: whether the plumbing moves, what tile you choose, and the shower or tub configuration. A powder room sits at the bottom of the range, a standard main bathroom in the middle, and a primary ensuite with custom tile, a glass enclosure and heated floors at the top. Rather than guess at a number that may not match your project, we walk the room with you and put a detailed written price in front of you before anything starts.

Less than a large one, but not proportionally less, because a small bathroom still needs the same trades for plumbing, electrical, tiling and waterproofing, just with less material. The single biggest saving in a small bathroom is keeping the fixtures exactly where they already are. We price the room in front of you so the number is yours, not an average.

A full bathroom renovation typically takes two to four weeks of on-site work in the GTA. A cosmetic refresh can be done in about a week, and a large ensuite with layout changes can take five to six weeks. Add two to four weeks before construction for design, permits and ordering, because tile and vanities often have lead times. You get a written schedule before the work starts, so you know your dates.

Convert to a walk-in shower if nobody in your home takes baths. It is the majority choice in GTA renovations now and it makes a bathroom feel considerably larger. Keep at least one bathtub in the house if you have young children or expect to sell to families, since many buyers still want one tub somewhere. The cost depends mostly on the tile and the glass you choose.

You need a permit if the renovation involves structural changes, new plumbing lines, moving plumbing fixtures or significant electrical work. You generally do not need one for like-for-like replacement, such as swapping a toilet, vanity or tub in the same location, or replacing tile and flooring. Requirements vary slightly by municipality across the GTA and Hamilton. We work out what your specific project needs and handle the permit process for you.

Yes, if any water lines or drains are being moved, added or replaced, that work should be done by a qualified plumber, and on a permitted project it will be inspected. Even a simple fixture swap can uncover corroded shutoff valves or outdated supply lines that need attention. We run our own plumbing side, so your renovation and its plumbing are handled by one accountable team rather than coordinated between separate contractors.

Yes, but a condo bathroom renovation in Toronto needs board approval before work starts, and most corporations set rules covering working hours, elevator booking and floor protection, insurance certificates from your contractor, and restrictions on moving plumbing, since drains cast into concrete slabs often cannot move. You normally submit a renovation application with your contractor’s scope, licence and insurance. Talk to us early about your building’s rules so the schedule accounts for them.

The warning signs are tiles that sound hollow when tapped, cracked or crumbling grout, tiles that flex under pressure, a persistent musty smell, discoloration on the wall or ceiling below the bathroom, and caulking that keeps failing in the same spot. Any of these suggests moisture has got behind the tile, and the damage is almost always worse than it looks from the outside. If you are seeing them, get it assessed before it reaches the framing.
