Bathroom Renovation in Toronto
Waterproofing, plumbing, ventilation and tile done in the right order, so the bathroom stays dry for decades.
Bathrooms That Stay Dry Behind the Tile.
Full bathroom renovations in North York and across Toronto, from the subfloor up.
The part you do not see matters most
A bathroom is the one room in the house that gets soaked every day. Tile and grout are not waterproof on their own. What keeps water out of the walls and floor is the membrane behind the tile, the slope of the shower floor, the seals around the fixtures and a fan that actually pulls moist air outside.
When those are done right, a bathroom lasts for decades. When they are skipped, the damage shows up years later as loose tile, stained ceilings below or mould inside the wall.
We are a general contractor that has been renovating Toronto houses since 1999. We take bathrooms down to the studs when needed, fix what is behind them and rebuild properly.
What We Handle in a Bathroom Renovation.
Every layer, from framing to fixtures.
Old tile, drywall and fixtures removed. Rotted subfloor, damaged joists and old galvanized or leaking pipes found and replaced.
A continuous waterproof membrane on shower walls and floors, sloped properly to the drain, before any tile goes on.
New supply lines and drains, moved fixtures, curbless showers, freestanding tubs and double vanities, with permits where the layout changes.
An exhaust fan sized for the room and ducted to the outside, not into the attic. This is the main defence against mould.
Floor and wall tile, shower niches, benches and trim, set flat with consistent grout lines.
Vanities, counters, toilets, tubs, glass enclosures, mirrors, lighting and accessories installed and sealed.
Planning a bathroom renovation
The first decision is whether the layout stays the same. Keeping the toilet, tub and sink where they are is simpler and faster. Moving them, converting a tub to a walk-in shower or adding a second sink means opening the floor, rerouting drains and, in most cases, getting a plumbing permit.
We look at the room, the floor structure and the plumbing below it before recommending a layout. Some changes are easy in one house and impractical in the next, depending on where the joists run and where the stack is.
How the work runs
Demolition, then repairs to the subfloor and framing. Rough plumbing and electrical, with inspections where required. Backer board and waterproofing. Tile. Then the vanity, toilet, fixtures, glass and final details. We schedule trades back to back so the room is out of service for as short a time as possible.
Adding a bathroom to a basement
A basement bathroom usually needs new drains cut into the concrete floor, and sometimes a sewage ejector pump if the fixtures sit below the main sewer line. It is a common part of basement renovations and a required part of every legal basement apartment. We handle the permits for both.
Accessibility
For older family members we build curbless showers, blocking in the walls for grab bars, wider doorways and comfort-height toilets. It is easier to include these during a renovation than to retrofit them later.
How we quote bathrooms
We do not publish prices. A bathroom quote depends on whether the layout changes, what we find under the floor, how far the drains have to move, whether a basement bathroom needs new drains in the slab, the ventilation route and the tile and fixture level you pick. We see the room first, then give you a written quote. Call to book a visit.
Frequently Asked Questions.
It depends on the size and whether the layout changes. A same-layout rebuild is faster than one that moves plumbing. We give you a schedule with the quote and keep trades moving back to back.
Replacing fixtures in the same location generally does not need a building permit. Moving or adding plumbing fixtures, or changing structure, generally does. Electrical work needs an ESA permit. We confirm at the site visit.
Yes. This is one of the most common requests. It involves moving the drain, building a properly sloped and waterproofed shower floor and installing a glass enclosure.
Yes. Most basement bathrooms need drains cut into the concrete floor, and some need an ejector pump. We handle the plumbing permit.
A continuous waterproofing membrane behind the tile in wet areas, and an exhaust fan ducted to the outside. Those two things do most of the work.
