Powder Rooms to Primary Ensuites Waterproofed Before Tiled

Bathroom Renovation in Toronto

Renovator Toronto renovates bathrooms across Toronto, from a powder room at $8,500 to $14,500 to a primary ensuite at $14,000 to $40,000. An average Toronto bathroom of about 10 by 10 feet runs $12,000 to $30,000, with a mid-range job landing near $17,000. What moves a bathroom up that band is almost never the tile. It is whether the fixtures stay where the drains already are.

Average 10 x 10 ft bathroom: $12,000 to $30,000
Small 3-piece, about 5 x 7 ft: $9,000 to $22,000
Relocating a fixture: $2,000 to $5,000 and up, each

What drives a bathroom renovation price

Whether fixtures move

Keeping the toilet, tub and sink on their existing drains is the single biggest saving available. Relocating a fixture is $2,000 to $5,000 and up each, because it means opening the floor and reworking drain slope and venting.

Tub or shower

A tub is $2,500 to $5,000 installed. A built shower is $8,000 to $15,000, because it is a waterproofed assembly with a sloped base, a membrane and a drain, not a fixture you set down.

What sits behind the tile

Tile is $10 to $30 per square foot installed and it is the visible half. The waterproofing membrane under and behind it is the half that decides whether the room is still sound in ten years.

Line by line

A Toronto bathroom budget, broken down

Demolition is $800 to $1,500. A toilet is $800 to $1,200 installed, a tub $2,500 to $5,000, a built shower $8,000 to $15,000. Tile runs $10 to $30 per square foot installed, with ceramic at $8 to $15, porcelain at $12 to $22, slate at $14 to $30 and marble at $20 to $45. Relocating fixtures is $2,000 to $5,000 and up per move. Add those up and a powder room lands at $8,500 to $14,500, a small three-piece of about 5 by 7 feet at $9,000 to $22,000, an average 10 by 10 foot bathroom at $12,000 to $30,000 and a primary ensuite of 14 by 14 feet or larger at $14,000 to $40,000, with luxury work published above $55,000. The Toronto average across all bathroom jobs sits at $15,000 to $30,000 and the mid-range typical near $17,000.

Six Toronto bathroom scopes we quote

Six scopes, from a same-layout refresh to a new bathroom in a space that never had one.

Fixtures stay put

Same-layout renovation

New tile, vanity, fixtures and lighting with drains left where they are. The most cost-effective bathroom there is.

Waterproofed assembly

Tub to shower conversion

Tub removed, a sloped and membraned shower base built, wall tile and glass set, drain adjusted to suit.

Drains moved

Full gut and relayout

Floor opened, drain runs and venting reworked to a new layout, then rebuilt. $2,000 to $5,000 and up per fixture moved.

Custom or stock

Vanity and storage

Vanity, mirror, niches and linen storage, built or specified to the room rather than to a catalogue size.

$8,500 to $14,500

Powder room addition

A two-piece added where drainage can reach, including the permit that new plumbing requires.

$15,000 to $35,000

Basement bathroom

Below-slab drainage, venting and supply for a bathroom in a basement that has none.

What we check before quoting a bathroom

Four checks that decide whether the layout you want is the layout the house allows.

Where the bathroom drains and vents run

A layout is only as movable as the drainage under it. We establish where the stack is, how the branch runs and what slope is available, because that decides whether a fixture can move at all, not just what moving it costs.

The condition behind the existing tile

On a pre-1981 Toronto bathroom there is often mud-set tile, no membrane, and sometimes a soft subfloor from a long-slow leak. We would rather find that at the quote stage than open the wall and hand you a change order.

Whether a permit is triggered

New tile, a new vanity and new fixtures in the same positions need no building permit. Move a wall, cut or enlarge a window, or add new plumbing and one is required. Contractor guides put a Toronto bathroom permit at about $200 to $1,000.

Ventilation, properly ducted

A fan that discharges into a joist bay or an attic instead of outside is the most common cause of a bathroom that grows mould after a renovation. We duct it outside, and we check where the existing one goes.

Our Process

How a bathroom renovation runs

1

Measure, trace the drainage, quote

Room measured, stack and branch located, existing tile condition assessed, then an itemized quote with the permit position stated.

2

Protect and demolish

Floors and hallway protected, dust contained, fixtures and tile removed, and anything found behind them reported before it is covered again.

3

Rough-ins and waterproofing

Plumbing and electrical rough-ins, inspection where a permit applies, then the shower base, membrane and backer board.

4

Tile, fixtures and walkthrough

Tile set and grouted, vanity, fixtures, glass, lighting and the ventilation duct completed, then the deficiency list and walkthrough.

Bathroom renovation questions, Toronto

How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Toronto?

A powder room runs $8,500 to $14,500, a small 5 by 7 foot three-piece $9,000 to $22,000, an average 10 by 10 foot bathroom $12,000 to $30,000 and a primary ensuite of 14 by 14 feet or larger $14,000 to $40,000. The Toronto average across all bathroom jobs is $15,000 to $30,000.

Is it cheaper to keep the same layout?

Considerably. Relocating a single fixture is $2,000 to $5,000 and up because the floor has to open and drain slope and venting have to be reworked. Two bathrooms with identical finishes can differ by $10,000 purely on whether the drains moved.

Do I need a permit for a bathroom renovation?

Not for new tile, a new vanity and new fixtures in the existing positions. Yes for moving a wall, cutting or enlarging a window, or adding new plumbing. Contractor guides put a Toronto bathroom permit at roughly $200 to $1,000.

What does a shower cost compared with a tub?

A tub is $2,500 to $5,000 installed. A built shower is $8,000 to $15,000, because it is a waterproofed assembly: a sloped base, a membrane, a drain and tile, all of which have to work as one system.

How long is a bathroom out of use?

A same-layout renovation is usually a matter of a few weeks, with the longest single wait being tile and grout cure time. A relayout with moved drainage takes longer because the floor is open and an inspection sits in the middle of the sequence.
