Investment Range

What Does a Bathroom Renovation Cost in the GTA?

Surface Update

$8,000 – $15,000

New fixtures, vanity, toilet, paint. Existing tile stays. Works when the bones are solid and the project is purely cosmetic.

Full Gut with Plumbing Relocation

$30,000 – $45,000+

Everything above plus moving drain lines, adding a shower to a room that didn't have one, or converting tub-only to walk-in.

Getting an accurate number starts with seeing the job.

What to Know

What “Full Gut” Actually Means

A full bathroom renovation down to studs means the vanity, toilet, tile, drywall, and sometimes subfloor all come out. Then waterproofing goes in before anything else. Cement board goes up before tile. Plumbing rough-in happens before the walls close. Every decision made in the wrong order creates a problem that's expensive to fix later.

Dwight has done this job enough times to know what order things need to happen in and what gets skipped when contractors are in a hurry. A complete two-bathroom gut renovation — re-plumbing both rooms, relocating a toilet, running proper supply lines, building a shower in a room that previously didn't have one — is a fundamentally different scope than it appears on the surface. Knowing that going in is the difference between a quote that holds and one that doesn't.

“Our bathroom renovation in Barrie took three weeks from demo to final walk-through. Dwight was on site every day, the waterproofing was done properly, and we haven't had a single issue.”

James L. — Barrie
★★★★★

“I had a quote $8,000 cheaper than Dwight's. After what happened with our last contractor, I'm glad I didn't take it. This bathroom was done right the first time.”

Maria T. — Aurora
★★★★★

“Dwight found rot in the subfloor under our shower that wasn't visible before demo. Called us same day, showed us photos, gave us the cost to replace it. We said go ahead. Glad we did.”

Paul & Wendy S. — Bradford
★★★★★

“The tiling alone is worth every dollar. Custom herringbone in the shower, large format floor tile, grout lines perfectly even throughout. This is not work you get from someone who grabbed a crew off Kijiji.”

Danielle M. — Barrie
★★★★★

“Bathroom was finished on schedule. Dwight cleaned up at the end of every day. Small thing, but after living through a renovation where that didn't happen, it matters.”

FAQ

Bathroom Renovation Questions

How long does a bathroom renovation take in the GTA?
A surface update takes one to two weeks. A mid-range full renovation takes two to three weeks. A full gut job with plumbing relocation takes three to five weeks.
What's the difference between a surface update and a full gut job?
A surface update replaces fixtures, vanity, and paint without touching tile or walls. A full gut goes to studs — waterproofing is redone from scratch, plumbing is exposed and updated, and everything is rebuilt.
Do I need a permit for a bathroom renovation in Ontario?
Permits are required when plumbing is being relocated or when new fixtures are being added to rooms that didn't previously have them. Cosmetic work typically doesn't require a permit.
Why does bathroom renovation cost as much as it does?
Waterproofing, tile labor, and plumbing are all time-intensive trades. A bathroom is one of the most material-dense rooms in a house relative to its size.
What areas do you serve for bathroom renovations?
The GTA and Simcoe County including Barrie, Bradford, Newmarket, Aurora, Vaughan, and surrounding communities.
