Bathroom renovation in Hamilton and Halton
Waterproofing first, tile second, fixtures last. That order is the difference between a bathroom that lasts 25 years and one that leaks in five.

What determines the cost of a bathroom renovation in Hamilton?
Bathrooms are small rooms with many trades, so each choice has a bigger effect than it looks.
Waterproofing method
Membrane systems (such as Schluter-Kerdi) cost more up front than paint-on products and are what we recommend behind showers.
Tile format and layout
Large-format porcelain and herringbone patterns need flatter substrates and more cutting time.
Plumbing changes
Relocating the toilet, shower valve or tub adds floor and wall work. Keeping fixtures in place saves money.
Shower type
Walk-in curbless showers need a recessed or sloped subfloor. Tub-to-shower conversions are simpler.
Fixtures and vanity
Wall-hung vanities, heated floors, custom glass and high-flow fixtures change both price and rough-in.
Existing conditions
Rot behind old tile, cast-iron stacks, asbestos in old floor tile and uneven joists are common in older homes.
How we work
Design & walkthrough
We measure the space, talk through layout and finishes, and give a written quote.
Demo & rough-in
Careful demolition, then plumbing and electrical rough-in where needed.
Waterproof & tile
Membrane system installed and inspected before a single tile goes down.
Fixtures & finishing
Vanity, fixtures, grout and final details, cleaned and walked through with you.
From one bathroom to a bigger plan
Many Hamilton homes have a second bathroom or a basement rough-in waiting. Doing two bathrooms in one project saves mobilization and permit time. We also manage kitchens and basements under the same schedule.

Bathrooms fail from the inside out — bad waterproofing shows up as a stained ceiling downstairs a year later. We treat the membrane and substrate as seriously as the tile everyone sees.
Questions homeowners and owners ask
What determines the cost of a bathroom renovation in Hamilton?
Six variables:
- Waterproofing: membrane versus paint-on.
- Tile: format, pattern and cutting.
- Plumbing: moving fixtures or not.
- Shower type: curbless, tub or standard.
- Fixtures: vanity, glass, heated floors.
- Condition: what is behind the old tile.
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
A standard bathroom takes two to four weeks on site. Waterproofing membranes and tile setting have cure times that cannot be rushed.
Do you handle waterproofing yourselves?
Yes. Our crew installs the membrane system and flood-tests where appropriate before tile goes on.
Do I need a permit for a bathroom renovation?
Like-for-like replacement often does not. Moving plumbing or changing structure typically does. We confirm with the City of Hamilton at the walkthrough.
Can you convert a tub to a walk-in shower?
Yes. We confirm the floor structure, drain location and waterproofing details at the walkthrough before quoting.
