What a Full Bathroom Renovation Includes
Demolition and disposal, plumbing rough-in, ESA-inspected electrical, waterproofing membrane, tile, vanity, fixtures, glass and finishing. We handle all of it with our own licensed trades, so you deal with one company and one invoice rather than coordinating a plumber, an electrician and a tiler yourself.
Natural And Seamless Building Materials
Choosing the right bathroom materials will create an open and inviting space. Neutral colors, monochromatic color schemes and clean lines will help your bathroom to look larger and not cluttered.
Older Vaughan and Woodbridge Homes
Bathrooms in homes built through the 1980s and 90s frequently hide rot in the subfloor or failed plumbing behind the tile. We find it often enough that we build a contingency into the quote rather than presenting it as a surprise in week two. If we open a wall and find damage, we photograph it, show you and price the repair before touching it.
Storage Built for the Space You Have
Custom shelving, recessed niches, under-sink cabinetry and built-in closets. In a standard 5 by 8 bathroom, a tiled niche in the shower wall and a vanity with drawers rather than doors will do more for daily use than any other change at the same cost.
Choosing Tile and Fixtures
You can supply your own materials or we can help you choose. Either way we will tell you before you order whether something will work in your space, because returning a 60 inch vanity that does not fit is nobody’s idea of a good week. Large format porcelain is what we recommend most often: fewer grout lines, easier to clean, and it handles the humidity.
Awkward Layouts and Custom Builds
Older homes are full of corners where nothing premade fits. We build custom vanities, storage and shower pans to suit the space rather than forcing a stock unit into it and filling the gap with trim.
How Much Does a Bathroom Renovation Cost in Vaughan?
A full gut of a standard main bathroom in Vaughan runs $16,000 to $26,000 in 2026. Powder rooms start near $6,000. Primary ensuites with custom tile and frameless glass reach $28,000 to $45,000. Labour is roughly half the total on most jobs.
| Bathroom | Scope | 2026 range | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cosmetic refresh | Surfaces and fixtures, no plumbing moved | $8,000 to $12,000 | 1 to 2 weeks |
| Powder room | Vanity, toilet, floor, paint | $6,000 to $12,000 | 1 to 2 weeks |
| Small bathroom, under 50 sq ft | Full gut, standard finishes | $12,000 to $18,000 | 2 to 4 weeks |
| Standard main bathroom | Full gut, tub or shower, tile to ceiling | $16,000 to $26,000 | 3 to 5 weeks |
| Primary ensuite | Double vanity, glass shower, freestanding tub | $28,000 to $45,000 | 5 to 8 weeks |
| Accessible / barrier-free | Curbless shower, widened door, blocking | $30,000 to $50,000 | 4 to 7 weeks |
These are real GTA figures rather than national averages, and pricing does not vary meaningfully between Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Markham or Toronto. What varies is the age of the house, the scope, and whether it is a condo. Older homes in Woodbridge, Maple and Concord carry a 10 to 15 percent contingency for what turns up after demolition. Condo bathrooms run 10 to 20 percent above these figures, driven by board approvals and elevator access rather than the work itself.
Moving plumbing is the single largest cost factor anywhere. Relocating a toilet or shower drain means opening the floor and often the ceiling below, which turns a finishing job into a structural one. Keeping fixtures where they are is the biggest saving available to most homeowners.
Add a Sitting Area
A lounge area with a soft chair or couch can be surprisingly useful. Along with creating a quiet, restful space for daily use, it can be helpful when you have multiple people getting ready or when you have guests. This can be an ideal solution for a master bathroom especially.
Full Vanity Set with Seating
Whether you choose a sleek and modern vanity or an ornate vintage model, a vanity set in your bathroom is a beautiful luxury. With proper lighting, a vanity is the ideal place for makeup application and hair styling.
Storage
Use extra space in large bathroom renovations to build cabinets or a closet. Use this to store towels, linens and toiletries. This can free up space elsewhere and make these items conveniently located near the bathroom and bedrooms.
Ventilation
A renovation that includes proper renovation can help keep your bathroom looking nice for years to come. BR can install a ceiling ventilation fan that will help to remove moisture and prevent mold from forming. This renovation idea not only keeps your bathroom looking and smelling fresher, it can also help control allergens.
Custom Materials And Designs
For some larger bathrooms, it can be a challenge to find premade countertops, vanities and storage options that fit the space. Instead of settling for smaller structures intended for smaller bathrooms, let BR create custom solutions that fit your bathroom seamlessly. With proper fitting elements, your bathroom will function more efficiently and avoid looking cluttered or mismatched.
Add A Sauna Or Jacuzzi Tub
Yes, you can add a jacuzzi and sauna to your home bathroom! While a standard tub can be fitted with whirlpooli jets, if you have the space, nothing beats a full-sized jacuzzi tub. Similarly, home saunas are becoming more popular and affordable. Each can be therapeutic and cost-effictive compared to a gym membership.
Accessible and Barrier-Free Bathrooms in Vaughan
If you are renovating so a parent can move in, or so you can stay in your own home longer, the bathroom is where it matters most. We build curbless showers, widen doorways, and put solid blocking behind the walls so grab bars can be added anywhere later rather than screwed into drywall. Done at the same time as a renovation you were already planning, the added cost is far smaller than doing it twice.
Walk-In Tubs
A walk-in tub gives you a seated soak without climbing over a high tub wall. A door in the side seals watertight. The tradeoff nobody mentions: you sit in the tub while it fills and while it drains, so a fast-fill faucet and a quick-drain valve matter more than the tub itself. We will tell you honestly whether a walk-in tub or a curbless shower suits you better.
Curbless and Zero-Threshold Showers
No lip to step over, which makes it usable with a walker or a wheelchair and easier for everyone else too. It requires recessing the shower pan into the subfloor and getting the slope right, so it is not a job for a general handyman. In a small bathroom it also makes the room feel considerably larger, which is why we install them for plenty of clients with no accessibility need at all.
Small Bathroom Renovations
Small bathroom renovations are the most constrained and often the most satisfying. A cramped 5 by 8 in a Woodbridge semi can end up feeling twice its size without moving a single wall. Three things do most of the work:
Unique Storage Solutions
Recessed niches in the shower wall, a vanity with drawers instead of doors, and a mirrored cabinet that sits into the wall cavity rather than on top of it. Every inch you recover from the wall cavity is an inch you are not losing from the floor. Our bathroom renovations team builds these to suit the room rather than fitting stock units and trimming the gaps.
Choose Light Colors
Light does not have to mean white. Warm neutrals on the walls and tile with light wood cabinetry open a room up without making it feel clinical. Large format tile helps here too, since fewer grout lines read as less visual clutter.
Mirrored Cabinet
A recessed mirrored cabinet gives you storage and the illusion of depth in the same square foot. Over the sink is standard. A full-length mirror on the back of the door does the same job for a room too small for anything else.
Bathroom Remodel vs Bathroom Renovations
Your bathroom needs work, but does it need a remodel or a renovation? The words get used interchangeably, and the difference matters when you are comparing quotes.
Bathroom Renovation
A renovation restores what is already there. New tile, refinished or replaced vanity, new fixtures, fresh paint, everything staying roughly where it is. Faster and cheaper because the plumbing and layout do not change.
Bathroom Remodeling
A remodel changes the room. Moving the toilet or shower, taking out a tub to put in a walk-in, removing or adding a wall, changing the layout. More trades, permits in most cases, and a longer timeline.
Bathroom Restoration
Restoration means putting a room back to a specific period using accurate materials. A 1940s bathroom restoration means sourcing period tile, fixtures and fittings rather than modern equivalents. We do renovation and remodelling; restoration work we will refer you to a specialist.
