Why It Matters

A bathroom is a waterproofing project, not a tile project.

The most expensive mistakes in bathroom renovation aren't the materials — they're what's behind the wall. Improper waterproofing, undersized vents, missed joints, wrong-grade backer board: all of these fail invisibly for 18-36 months, then turn into mold, rot or warranty claims that cost more than the original job.

We build every Ottawa bathroom the same way: Schluter Kerdi or RedGard waterproofing membranes, properly vented exhaust to the exterior, GFCI-protected wet zones to current Ontario code, and pressure-tested plumbing before tile goes down. The finish you see is the easy part.

  • Schluter / RedGard membrane
  • Exterior-vented exhaust fan
  • Permits + electrical inspection
  • Heated tile floors (Schluter Ditra)
  • Frameless glass + custom vanity
  • Daily clean + dust-control

FAQ

Bathroom Questions.

Don't see yours? Call (343) 998-8316.

How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Ottawa?
Powder rooms: $9,000-$14,000. Family bathrooms: $18,000-$30,000. Master ensuites: $28,000-$60,000+. We give fixed-price written quotes — no hourly billing or change-order surprises.
How long does a full bathroom take?
Most family bathrooms are 3-4 weeks from demo to walkthrough. Master ensuites with structural changes run 4-6 weeks. Powder rooms: 1-2 weeks. Exact timeline is in your written quote.
Do you pull permits?
Yes. Anything involving plumbing rough-in changes, electrical circuits, or new ventilation requires a City of Ottawa permit. We pull and close them — included in the fixed quote.
Can I keep my existing layout?
Yes — if the existing layout works, keeping fixtures in place reduces cost by 15-25%. We'll tell you if a small layout tweak (e.g. flipping toilet and vanity) would dramatically improve the room before you commit.
What about heated floors?
Schluter Ditra-Heat is our standard. It's an in-floor electric mat under tile, controlled by a programmable thermostat. Cost: $1,200-$2,400 for a typical bathroom. Worth every dollar in an Ottawa winter.
Can I use the bathroom during the renovation?
No — but we set up dust barriers and floor protection so the rest of your house stays clean. If you've only got one bathroom, we discuss timing strategies (e.g. installing the new toilet first) to minimize disruption.
What's the warranty?
5 years on workmanship (tile, plumbing, electrical labour). Materials carry their own manufacturer warranties — Schluter waterproofing is lifetime, Panasonic fans 6 years, Kohler/Moen fixtures typically lifetime on the body.
Do you handle the tile and fixture sourcing?
Yes. We bring you to our Ottawa-area showroom partners (Olympia Tile, Tilemaster, Centura) for selections and handle the ordering. You can also bring your own — we just need finals 2 weeks before tile day.
