Complete Bathroom Renovation

A complete bathroom renovation is the most transformative upgrade a Toronto homeowner can invest in, taking your space down to the studs and rebuilding every surface, system, and fixture to modern standards — whether you're updating a cramped 5x8 bathroom in a Leslieville Victorian semi, reconfiguring a dated ensuite in a Scarborough split-level, or expanding a builder-grade bathroom in a North York colonial. Full gut-and-rebuild projects in the GTA typically begin with demolition of existing tile, drywall, vanity, and fixtures, followed by plumbing rough-in modifications, electrical rewiring to Ontario Electrical Safety Code standards, and structural repairs to subfloor rot that decades of slow leaks have caused in Toronto's aging housing stock. Waterproofing is non-negotiable — Toronto building inspectors require shower and wet-area membranes that meet Ontario Building Code Section 9.29, and experienced contractors apply full-coverage Schluter DITRA or liquid-applied membranes across entire bathroom floors in older homes where original waterproofing has long since failed. A City of Toronto building permit is required for any renovation involving plumbing relocation, electrical changes, or structural modifications, and your contractor must coordinate inspections at rough-in and final stages. From custom tile showers with linear drains to heated floors, frameless glass enclosures, and smart lighting, a complete bathroom renovation in the Greater Toronto Area delivers a space engineered for Toronto's demanding real estate market while addressing the practical realities of Ontario's building standards.
