Bathroom Renovations

Bathroom renovation costs depend on the size of the space, the extent of the work, and the fixtures and finishes you select. A simple refresh, such as a new vanity, toilet, and paint, costs considerably less than a full gut renovation with a custom shower, new tile, and reconfigured plumbing. Because bathrooms vary so much in size and condition, especially in older Toronto homes, Raven Reno & Condo provides a free, no-obligation in-home consultation rather than a generic online estimate. We assess your existing plumbing, structural condition, and design goals, then provide an itemized quote so you know the full cost before committing. With over 20 years renovating bathrooms across the GTA, we can typically give you a realistic budget range during that first visit, along with options to adjust scope if you need to work within a specific budget.

A cosmetic bathroom update, such as a new vanity, toilet, lighting, and paint, can often be completed in about a week. A full bathroom renovation that includes demolition, waterproofing, new tile, a reconfigured shower or tub, and updated plumbing and electrical typically takes two to three weeks. Timelines can extend if custom tile or fixtures need to be special ordered, or if unexpected issues like water damage are found once demolition begins. Because most homes only have one or two bathrooms, we understand timing matters, and we sequence work to keep the project moving efficiently. During your free in-home consultation, we give you a realistic schedule based on your bathroom’s size, current condition, and the finishes you have chosen, so you can plan accordingly.

Yes. Not every bathroom needs a complete gut renovation to feel new again. We handle everything from smaller refreshes, like replacing a vanity, updating lighting and hardware, re-caulking, and repainting, to complete gut renovations that remove everything down to the studs and subfloor. If your bathroom’s layout and plumbing are in good condition but the finishes feel dated, a refresh can dramatically improve the look for a lower cost than a full renovation. If there is water damage, an outdated layout, or you simply want a different design, a full renovation gives you a clean slate. During your free in-home consultation, we assess your bathroom’s condition and help you decide which approach makes the most sense for your goals and budget.

Yes, and this is actually one of the most important reasons to work with an experienced renovation company. Bathrooms are exposed to constant moisture, and it is common to find water damage, soft subfloor, or mold behind tile and drywall once demolition begins, especially in older homes. Our crews are experienced in identifying and properly remediating these issues, including replacing damaged subfloor, addressing the source of moisture intrusion, and ensuring proper waterproofing is installed before new tile and fixtures go in. Ignoring water damage or covering it up leads to bigger and more expensive problems down the road. If we find damage during your renovation, we explain what we found, what needs to be done to fix it properly, and how it affects your timeline and budget before proceeding with any additional work.

Cosmetic bathroom updates, like replacing a vanity, toilet, or tile, generally do not require a permit. However, if your renovation involves moving plumbing fixtures, altering drain or vent lines, changing electrical circuits, or removing structural walls, a building permit is typically required under the Ontario Building Code. Requirements can vary slightly between municipalities across the GTA. As a licensed, insured, and WSIB-registered renovation company, Raven Reno & Condo reviews the scope of your bathroom project during the free in-home consultation and identifies whether a permit applies. When one is needed, we manage the permit application and coordinate the required inspections as part of your renovation, so the work is completed safely, to code, and without added stress on your end.

Yes, converting a tub to a walk-in shower is one of the most popular bathroom renovation requests we get, particularly from homeowners looking to modernize the space or improve accessibility. This work involves removing the existing tub, adjusting plumbing and drain locations as needed, properly waterproofing the new shower area, and installing tile, a shower base or pan, and a glass enclosure or curtain. We can also incorporate features like a built-in bench, niche shelving, or a frameless glass door depending on your space and preferences. Because proper waterproofing is critical to preventing leaks and future damage, this is not a project to take shortcuts on. During your consultation, we discuss layout options and help you choose a shower design that fits both your bathroom’s dimensions and your budget.

Yes, waterproofing and tile installation are core parts of every bathroom renovation we complete. Proper waterproofing behind tile, around shower niches, and at the shower pan is essential to preventing leaks, mold, and structural damage down the line, so we take this step seriously rather than treating it as an afterthought. We install ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone tile for floors, shower walls, and tub surrounds, and can help you select tile sizes and patterns that suit your bathroom’s layout, from classic subway tile to larger format porcelain. Our crews follow industry best practices for substrate preparation and waterproof membranes before any tile goes up. If you are only looking for new tile without a full renovation, we can also take on standalone tile projects.

Yes, small and ensuite bathrooms are some of the most common renovations we take on throughout Toronto and the GTA. Compact bathrooms benefit from smart design choices, such as space-saving vanities, larger format tile to visually expand the room, recessed niches instead of bulky shelving, and well-planned lighting. For ensuite bathrooms attached to a primary bedroom, we often focus on creating a more spa-like feel with an upgraded shower, better storage, and improved finishes, even within a limited footprint. Whether your bathroom is a small powder room, a compact main bathroom in an older home, or a condo ensuite, our team will assess the space during your free in-home consultation and recommend layout and design options that make the most of the square footage you have.

Yes. Bathroom renovations almost always involve some combination of plumbing changes, such as relocating a toilet or sink, and electrical updates, such as adding a vent fan, updated lighting, or GFCI-protected outlets. Raven Reno & Condo coordinates all licensed plumbing and electrical work required for your renovation as part of the overall project, so you are not left hiring and scheduling separate trades yourself. All work is completed to Ontario Building Code standards, with permits and inspections arranged whenever the scope requires it. Because we are fully licensed, insured, and WSIB-registered, your home and our crew are protected throughout the renovation. We walk you through exactly what plumbing and electrical work your bathroom needs during your free in-home consultation.
