In 2026 a basic refresh of a standard bathroom typically runs $8,000 to $15,000. A mid-range full renovation is more like $20,000 to $40,000. Moving plumbing, custom glass and large-format tile push it higher. Your quote is itemized after a visit.
Replacing fixtures in the same location generally does not need a permit. Adding or moving fixtures, or changing drain, vent or supply piping, generally needs a City of Ottawa plumbing permit. We confirm which applies to your plan and pull the permit when it is required.
A tub-to-shower conversion is usually about a week. A full renovation is usually two to four weeks of work once materials are on site. If it is your only bathroom, we plan the order so the toilet is out for as short a time as possible.
The federal Home Accessibility Tax Credit covers 15% of up to $20,000 a year of eligible work for someone 65 or older or eligible for the disability tax credit. The federal Multigenerational Home Renovation Tax Credit applies only to building a secondary unit. Eligibility is yours to confirm with the CRA. We provide itemized invoices.
Sometimes. If the leak is from cracked grout or failed caulking, yes. If water has already got behind the tile and there is no membrane, regrouting only hides it. We check before recommending either.
