Bathroom Renovations in Burlington

A bathroom is the smallest room in the house and the least forgiving. Every cut is visible.

Burlington homes

What bathroom renovations usually means in Burlington

Burlington runs from mid-century bungalows in Aldershot and Roseland through to newer subdivisions in Alton Village and The Orchard. The bungalows are some of the best basement candidates we see, because the footprint is wide open and the stairs usually land in a sensible place.

Homes up against the escarpment in Tyandaga can sit on rock, which changes what footings and any below-grade work actually cost. Worth knowing before you plan an addition.

Bathrooms punish shortcuts. Tile that is out by a couple of millimetres shows up in every joint, and waterproofing that was rushed shows up two years later as a stain on the ceiling below.

What is included

Everything this job actually involves

Waterproofing and shower systems

Membrane, pre-slope, and curb detail done to spec so the shower stays a shower and not a leak.

Tile work

Floors, walls, niches, and feature surfaces set with proper layout so cuts land where they should.

Vanities and fixtures

Wall-hung or floor-mount vanities, faucets, toilets, and the blocking and rough-in they need.

Walk-in shower conversions

Turning a cramped tub alcove into a proper walk-in shower, including the framing and drain relocation.

Ventilation and heating

Fans vented outside, not into the attic, plus heated floor systems where you want them.

Custom stone and woodwork

Live-edge vanity tops, timber shelving, and stone surrounds when the room calls for something one of a kind.

Our work

A copper soaking tub on hand-finished stumps

This one was not out of a catalogue. The homeowners had a copper soaking tub and wanted it to feel like it belonged in the room rather than parked in it.

We finished the stumps it rests on, tiled the floor in large-format stone, and built the slate fireplace surround in the adjoining room with live-edge timber legs to tie the two spaces together.

Burlington questions

Straight answers, before you ask

Do you need a permit for bathroom renovations in Burlington?

Permits are issued by the City of Burlington, and whether you need one depends on the scope. Structural changes, new plumbing, and new circuits almost always require one. We confirm the requirement for your address and handle the application and inspections as part of the job.

How far into Burlington do you travel?

All of it, including Aldershot, Roseland, The Orchard, Millcroft. Burlington is inside our normal working area, so you are not paying for a special trip.

How long does a bathroom renovation take?

Three to six weeks for most full bathrooms. Tile and waterproofing have cure times that cannot be rushed, and we would rather wait than have you call us back.

Can you convert my tub into a walk-in shower?

Yes, this is one of the most common requests we get. It involves reframing the alcove, relocating or adapting the drain, and waterproofing the new base.

Do you install heated floors?

Yes. Electric in-floor heat under tile is straightforward to add during a renovation and it is much cheaper to do then than later.

Will my bathroom be out of service the whole time?

That bathroom will be, yes. If it is your only bathroom, tell us at the quote stage and we will sequence the work to shorten the gap as much as possible.
