Bathroom Renovations in Toronto
renoWOW! has been renovating Toronto bathrooms since 1993. Full gut jobs, ensuites, powder rooms and condo suites, with a fixed price before we start and a two-year warranty after we leave.
Bathrooms Fail Behind the Tile, Not On It
Out of every room we take on at renoWOW!, from kitchens to full home renovation across Toronto, the bathroom is the one people underestimate most. It is the smallest space in the house and the most expensive per square foot, and almost none of that money goes where you can see it. It goes into the waterproofing, the drain slope, the venting and the framing. Get those right and the room lasts twenty years. Get them wrong and you find out in about three, usually when a ceiling stain shows up in the room below.
That is the part renoWOW! cares most about. Every shower we build gets a proper waterproof membrane, not tile stuck onto green drywall. Fans get vented outside, not into the attic. It is unglamorous work that never shows up in a photo, and it is the difference between a bathroom you enjoy and one you redo in eight years. Plenty of bathroom renovation contractors in Toronto skip it precisely because no guest will ever see it. We take one job at a time, so yours is not competing with five other sites for the crew.
Every Kind of Bathroom We Build
Our bathroom renovation services cover the whole job, not a slice of it. One crew handles demolition, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tiling and finishing, so there is never a week where nobody shows up because two trades are waiting on each other.
Full Bathroom Remodels
Everything out to the studs and rebuilt properly, including anything the old build got wrong.
Walk-in Showers
Curbless and low-curb showers with frameless glass, built on a proper sloped bed and membrane. Why homeowners switch.
Ensuites & Spa Baths
Primary ensuites with double vanities, soaker tubs and steam, planned around how you actually use the room in the morning.
Powder Rooms
The smallest room in the house and the one guests always see. Quick to turn around and hard to get wrong once the plumbing stays put.
Tile & Heated Floors
Porcelain, stone and large-format tile, with in-floor heat that makes a cold Toronto morning bearable. Is heated floor worth it?
Accessible & Aging in Place
Curbless entries, blocking for grab bars, comfort-height fixtures and turning space, done so it looks like design rather than equipment. Planning guide
What a Toronto Bathroom Actually Costs
Bathrooms are labour-heavy. A three-piece or four-piece room still needs a plumber, an electrician, a tiler and a finisher, and in Toronto those trades are the biggest line on any quote. Fixtures, tile and vanity countertops move the number after that. These are real planning figures, not teaser pricing.
- Powder room refresh$6,000 – $12,000
- Standard 3-piece, same layout$15,000 – $25,000
- Full reno with layout change$25,000 – $40,000
- Primary ensuite$25,000 – $45,000
- Tub-to-shower conversion$6,000 – $15,000
- Condo suitesAdd 10 – 20%
Older houses can add cost once the walls are open, usually a cast iron stack that has rusted through or a subfloor that has quietly been getting wet. We hold back 10 to 15 percent for that and tell you before we spend it. More detail in our bathroom cost guide, the hidden costs worth knowing, or our fixed-price packages.

The Details That Keep a Bathroom Dry
Most bathroom failures we get called to fix come down to the same handful of shortcuts. Tile set straight onto regular drywall. A shower floor with no real slope to the drain. A fan ducted into the attic instead of out through the roof, quietly growing mould above the ceiling. None of it is visible on handover day, which is exactly why it gets skipped.
- Waterproof membrane behind every wet wall, never green drywall
- Sloped mortar bed bonded to the drain, so water actually leaves
- Fans ducted outside and sized to the room, not into the attic
- Solid blocking in the walls for grab bars, benches and shower glass
Old Houses and Condo Towers Need Different Answers
A century semi in the Annex and a small condo bathroom at Humber Bay are both bathroom renovations in Toronto, and almost nothing about them is the same job.
Century and prewar homes
Cast iron stacks, lath and plaster, and a second-floor bathroom sitting on joists sized for 1920. We check the structure before we promise you a freestanding tub.
Postwar bungalows and splits
Usually a tight four-piece with no fan and a window instead. The win here is layout, borrowing a little space from a hallway or closet to make the room work.
Condo suites
Board approval, insurance certificates, elevator booking and working hours all come before the first tile. See how we run condo jobs.
Basement bathrooms
Adding one below grade usually means breaking concrete, or an up-flush system if the drain sits too high. Both need a permit, and both are worth doing properly.

We walk the bathroom with you, talk through what is realistic for the space and the budget, then put a written scope and a fixed price in front of you before anything is signed.
Design & Material Selection
We help you choose tile, vanity, fixtures and glass from suppliers we trust, and order it all before demolition so the job does not stall waiting on a back-ordered vanity.
Build
Dust barriers up, floors protected, and the same crew on site through the whole build. We photograph the waterproofing before the tile goes on so you can see what you paid for.
Walkthrough & Warranty
We go through every detail with you before we call it done, and back the work with a two-year workmanship warranty in writing.
Very happy with the job Sam and his team did in my bathrooms. I came in with an idea and Sam was able to pick out tile, vanity and other bathroom stuff that fit my vision perfectly, making the process super easy for me. Paul and JJ were great working in my house, super nice guys that look to be held accountable and make sure the jobs done right.
We had a bathroom totally renovated by renoWOW! and the results are awesome. We started with some ideas and a lot of anxiety. Sam helped us develop a plan that was perfect for us. He is very easy to talk to, listens, is very detailed oriented and made many helpful suggestions that we had never considered. The project was completed on time with minimum disruption.
We recently completed an extensive renovation with Reno Wow, including our kitchen and master bathroom now turned into our master spa. They are knowledgeable, responsive, and trustworthy. The work is high quality and most importantly the whole project was delivered on time and on budget.
Once again, the amazing crew from renoWOW has excelled! Following a beautiful kitchen reno, we invited them back to remodel a master bathroom and install beautiful new flooring on the second floor. We cannot say enough about the quality of the work and the thoughtfulness of their staff (Paul & J.J.)
Sam and team renovated my sister-in-law's condo, including the kitchen, two bathrooms, and painting. He was highly communicative, responsive, and easy to work with. The renovations were completed on time and on budget, with no issues.
This is the second major renovation that Sam and his team have completed for us and we couldn't be happier. They use many measures to keep your home clean and protected throughout the job and our neighbours even commented on the care being taken.
