Bathroom Renovations in Peterborough

Whether it's a dated main bathroom, an ensuite or a new bathroom in the basement, we renovate the whole room so everything is new and works together.

We keep finishes clean, simple and durable, the kind that hold up to daily use and still look good years from now.

Most bathroom renovations start with one problem: a cracked tub surround, a vanity with no storage, a shower that never feels clean. Naming the main problem first keeps the project focused and the budget where it matters.

From there, decide whether you want the same layout with all-new finishes or a full rework. Keeping the toilet, tub and sink where they are now usually costs less than moving them.

Many homeowners are swapping a tub-and-shower combination for a walk-in shower. It's easier to step into and easier to clean, and it can make a small bathroom feel larger.

If it's the only tub in the house, think about resale and who uses the room. Families with young kids often keep a tub in the main bathroom and put the walk-in shower in an ensuite or basement bath.

Most bathroom damage starts where you can't see it: water getting behind tile or into the subfloor, and steam with nowhere to go. A properly waterproofed shower and an exhaust fan sized for the room protect everything else you spend money on.

If your current bathroom has peeling paint, a soft spot in the floor or grout that keeps going dark, mention it at the estimate. Those are signs worth checking before new finishes go in.

Porcelain tile is a popular choice for floors and shower walls because it's dense and stands up to water and daily wear. The things you touch every day, like the vanity, the faucet and the shower valve, matter as much as the tile.

Simple, durable finishes also age better. Clean tile, a solid vanity and good lighting keep a bathroom looking current long after trendier choices have dated.

Measure the room, take a few photos, and save pictures of bathrooms you like. Think about storage, who uses the room most, and what about the current layout bothers you every day. If it's the only bathroom in the house, ask how the work will be scheduled so you can plan around it.

Adding a bathroom as part of a basement? See basement renovations for how that is planned.

The size of the room, whether fixtures move, plumbing changes, the tile and finishes you choose, and permits all move the price of a bathroom renovation. Prices vary a lot between homes, so ask for an itemised quote that says what is included.

A range from a guide is a range across many homes, not a quote. The only way to get a real number is to have someone look at the space, which is what the free estimate at your home is for.

Permit rules depend on the work and the property, and they change. Before you start, ask your municipality's building department what applies to your plan (in the City of Peterborough, the building division), especially if it moves plumbing.
