Toronto Bathroom Renovations from a Kitchen-Trained Team

Are you planning a bathroom renovation to finally replace those outdated tiles?

We completely understand the feeling of wanting a fresh, modern space. These projects overlap directly with kitchen work, sharing the exact same trades like plumbing, electrical, and cabinetry.

Our professional service team delivers full bathroom upgrades across the GTA as cross-sells with kitchen projects or as standalone work. You get the exact same fixed-price contract model and licensed crew either way.

We will walk you through exactly what to expect during your upcoming project.

What we renovate

Many GTA homes have unique quirks, so your specific layout dictates the plan. We handle a wide variety of project scopes to fit your exact property type. Here is a breakdown of the specific spaces we upgrade the most:

• Primary bathrooms: A full tear-out allows for major layout changes, walk-in showers, double vanities, and heated floors. Upgrading this space is a smart financial move in 2026, as local Toronto real estate data shows a well-executed primary bath can deliver an ROI of 60% to 85%.
• Small Toronto bathrooms: These sub-50 square foot layouts are incredibly common in older Toronto homes and condo housing. Our crew uses specific tricks like wall-hung toilets, floating vanities, and large mirrors to expand the perceived space.
• En-suite condo bathrooms: Renovating a high-rise unit requires strict adherence to building bylaws and logistics. We handle the paperwork, including providing the $2 million liability insurance and WSIB clearance that Toronto condo boards demand before approving the work.
• Powder rooms: These high-impact small renovations are perfect for resale preparation or guest-impression upgrades. A quick refresh here typically ranges from $5,000 to $8,000 and transforms the entire feel of the main floor.

Waterproofing done right

Toronto building code requires proper moisture barriers in wet areas, and skipping this step causes 90% of bathroom failures within five years. We take these regulations seriously to protect your investment. Specifically, the Ontario Building Code (OBC 9.29.10.4) mandates moisture-resistant backing behind all shower tiles, extending at least 1.8 meters high.

Our standard practice exceeds these minimums by using premium materials. Here is the exact system you will find behind your new tiles:

• Schluter Kerdi membrane systems: These completely waterproof sheets protect your shower walls and pans far better than standard drywall.
• Kerdi-Drain linear or point drains: These components are essential for creating sleek, modern curbless showers.
• Foam shower pan boards: These replace heavy mortar beds because they are faster to install, stay completely dry, and remain dimensionally stable.
• Permitted work: Your project manager files all necessary applications whenever the scope triggers a plumbing or electrical permit.

This is the exact same waterproofing approach used on premium new-build homes across the city. We love knowing that these rigorous standards create showers that hold up for 20 years or more.

Layout that works in small spaces

Most Toronto bathrooms, especially in pre-1980 homes and older condos, average just 30 to 50 square feet. We know exactly how to maximize every single inch of these tight floor plans. A cramped room can feel surprisingly spacious when you apply the right design strategies.

To make your compact washroom feel significantly bigger, consider these proven upgrades:

• Wall-hung toilets: Moving the tank inside the wall saves precious floor space and makes cleaning much easier.
• Floating vanities: Lifting the cabinet off the ground opens the floor visually and creates a lighter feel.
• Large-format tiles: Using bigger tiles means fewer grout lines, which tricks the eye into seeing a much larger room.
• Frameless glass showers: Removing thick metal frames keeps your sightlines open and brightens the entire enclosure.
• Recessed niches: Built-in shower shelves provide essential storage for shampoo bottles while adding zero footprint to the room.
• Linear drains: This creates a curbless shower, allowing a single, continuous tile plane from the main floor straight into the wet zone.

Our design team highly recommends combining at least three of these features for the best result. Small changes in fixtures completely alter the perception of a tiny layout.

Cost ranges

Budgeting is usually the very first thing on a homeowner’s mind. We believe in total transparency regarding your project costs.

In 2026, the average cost for a full bathroom remodel in Toronto sits right around $17,000. However, prices vary wildly based on your material choices and the condition of the home’s hidden plumbing.

To give you a clear picture, here is a breakdown of typical investment levels in Ontario:

Several specific factors push a project into that high-end tier. Our estimators always point out that relocating a toilet stack is one of the most expensive choices you can make. Other luxury drivers include custom-fabricated vanities, imported marble tile, and premium brushed brass fixtures.

Condo Owner Pro-Tip: High-rise renovations typically cost 10% to 20% more than detached homes. This covers mandatory logistics like $150 elevator booking fees, strict weekday-only working hours, and specialized waste removal.

Our project managers handle all of those strict building logistics so you never have to worry about them.

When you can renovate kitchen and bathroom together

About 30% of clients choose to upgrade their kitchen and primary bathroom at the exact same time. We highly recommend this approach if your budget allows for a larger initial investment.

Combining these jobs provides massive advantages for homeowners:

• Single point of contact: You only deal with one project manager.
• Lower management overhead: Streamlined logistics save money.
• One fixed-price contract: All your costs are locked in together.

Our crew sequences the daily work very carefully to minimize disruption to your family life. For example, kitchen demolition often runs in parallel with the bathroom rough-in phase. The final finishing stages happen in series, ensuring your home is never without both a kitchen and a working toilet at the same time.
