Common frustrations

What brings homeowners to us

Improper waterproofing is the number one cause of bathroom failures. Grout cracks, tile lifts, and mould start behind the wall within a few years.

Plumbing relocation quotes often omit permits and inspections, then arrive on the final invoice as a surprise.

Small Toronto bathrooms feel cramped, but most contractors don't know how to use wall-hung fixtures, large-format tile, and frameless glass to change that.

Booking separate tile, plumbing, and vanity tradespeople means weeks of scheduling conflicts and no single point of accountability.

Service overview

Bathroom Renovation

Toronto Kitchen Renos is a licensed and insured renovation contractor based in Toronto, Ontario, and the same crew that builds our kitchens also delivers full bathroom renovations. Demolition, plumbing rough-in, waterproofing, tile, vanities, and fixtures are all handled by one team under one fixed-price contract, backed by 15+ years and 450+ completed projects across the GTA.

Most of our bathroom work comes from homeowners in Scarborough, Etobicoke, North York, Mississauga, and Markham who want to replace dated tile, fix a failing shower, or finally do the tub-to-shower conversion they have been putting off. Some book it alongside a kitchen project; others hire us for a standalone bathroom. Either way, you get the same turnkey project management, the same permits handled for you, and the same liability and WSIB coverage on every job.

Bathrooms We Renovate in Toronto Houses and Condos

Toronto housing stock has its quirks, from Victorian semi-detached homes in Leslieville to 1950s bungalows in Etobicoke and North York, so your specific layout dictates the plan. Here are the spaces we renovate most:

  • Primary bathrooms: A full tear-out allows for major layout changes, walk-in showers, double vanities, and heated floors. This is also where we build accessible bathrooms for aging in place, with curbless shower entries, wider doorways, and blocking behind the walls for grab bars. 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 common in pre-war semis, older townhouses, and condo towers. Our crew uses wall-hung toilets, floating vanities, and large mirrors to expand the perceived space.
  • Condo ensuite bathrooms: Condo bathroom renovations in high-rise towers, from CityPlace to North York Centre, require strict adherence to building bylaws and logistics. We handle the paperwork, including the $2 million liability insurance and WSIB clearance that Toronto condo boards demand before approving the work.
  • Tub-to-shower conversions: Replacing a dated alcove tub with a walk-in shower is one of the most requested upgrades in Toronto homes. We remove the tub, rebuild the floor and drain, waterproof with Kerdi, and finish with frameless glass.
  • 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.

Schluter Kerdi Waterproofing Behind Every Shower

Skipped or improper waterproofing is the leading cause of bathroom failures, and the damage usually shows up as cracked grout, lifting tile, and mould within a few years. The Ontario Building Code requires moisture-resistant backing behind tile in showers and tub surrounds, and we treat that as the minimum, not the target.

Our standard practice exceeds code with a complete Schluter system. Here is exactly what you will find behind your new tiles:

  • Schluter Kerdi membrane systems: These fully 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 the City of Toronto plumbing or electrical permit whenever the scope triggers one.

This is the same waterproofing approach used on premium new-build homes across Toronto, and it produces walk-in showers built to hold up for 20 years or more.

Make a Small Bathroom Feel Bigger

Most Toronto bathrooms, especially in pre-1980 homes and older condos, average just 30 to 50 square feet. 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.

Toronto Kitchen Renos designers recommend combining at least three of these features for the best result. Small changes in fixtures completely alter the perception of a tiny layout.

How Much Does a Bathroom Renovation Cost in Toronto?

Budgeting is usually the very first thing on a homeowner’s mind. Every quote we issue is a fixed price covering labour, materials, permits, and disposal.

In 2026, the average cost for a full bathroom remodel in Toronto sits right around $17,000. Final prices depend 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:

Project ScopeEstimated BudgetTypical Inclusions
Small Refresh$10,000 - $15,000Cosmetic updates, painting, new toilet, keeping existing fixture locations.
Mid-Range$15,000 - $30,000New tile, upgraded vanity, lighting changes, tub-to-shower conversion.
High-End Luxury$30,000 - $60,000+Major layout changes, moving plumbing stacks, heated floors, premium stone tiles.

Several specific factors push a project into that high-end tier. 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.

Renovating Your Kitchen and Bathroom Together

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

Combining these jobs provides real 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 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.

Client reviews

What clients say about our bathroom renovation work

“We had them do the kitchen first, then asked them to take on our primary bathroom. Same fixed-price model, same crew, same care with the finish work. Tile waterproofing was meticulous.”
Helena M.
“Primary bathroom gut in our 1985 Vaughan home. Cast-iron tub out, walk-in shower in, plumbing relocated for a double vanity. They handled the City of Vaughan permit and inspection, and registered the two-year install warranty before we paid the final invoice. Heated floor was the right call for January.”
Ahmad H.
“Sub-30 square foot powder room, brand new design from the studs. Wall-hung toilet, floating vanity, large-format porcelain tile. Schluter waterproofing on the wet wall, brushed brass fixtures, and the whole project finished in three weeks. The space feels twice the size.”
Aisha P.

Common questions

Bathroom Renovation FAQs

How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Toronto in 2026?

Most Toronto bathroom renovations fall between $10,000 and $60,000. A small cosmetic refresh runs $10,000-$15,000, a mid-range renovation with new tile, vanity, and a tub-to-shower conversion runs $15,000-$30,000, and high-end projects with plumbing relocation and heated floors run $30,000-$60,000 or more. Condo bathrooms typically cost 10-20% more because of building logistics.

How long does a bathroom renovation take in Toronto?

2-4 weeks on site for most full bathroom renovations. Custom tile patterns, plumbing relocation, and waterproofing dry time are the most common factors that extend the timeline. Condo projects can also need extra lead time for board approval and elevator booking before work starts.

Why does moving bathroom plumbing cost so much?

Relocating a toilet, drain, or stack usually triggers a City of Toronto plumbing permit, inspections, and behind-wall labour that compounds quickly. We quote plumbing relocation as its own line in the fixed-price contract so you know exactly what is included before you commit.

Can a small bathroom under 50 sq ft be renovated?

Yes. Sub-50-sqft bathrooms in older Toronto houses and condos are some of our most-requested projects. Wall-hung toilets, floating vanities, large-format tile, frameless glass, and large mirrors make a small bathroom feel substantially bigger without moving walls.

Should I convert my tub to a walk-in shower?

A tub-to-shower conversion suits daily use and aging in place, especially with a curbless entry. Keep a tub if it is the only one in the home, since Toronto family homes typically benefit from at least one tub for resale value. A conversion usually falls in the $15,000-$30,000 mid-range tier.

Do you renovate condo bathrooms in Toronto?

Yes. Toronto Kitchen Renos handles condo bathroom renovations across Toronto and the GTA, including board approvals, elevator booking, and noise scheduling. We provide the $2 million liability insurance certificate and WSIB clearance that condo boards require before approving work.
