Common Questions
Bathroom Renovation FAQ
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
A single bathroom, full remodel — new tile, vanity, shower or tub, fixtures — typically takes 2-4 weeks once materials are on site. Adding a new bathroom or relocating plumbing extends that, since it usually needs a permit and inspection scheduling.
Do I need a permit to renovate a bathroom in Scarborough?
Replacing fixtures, tile, and vanities in the same footprint usually doesn't require a permit. Moving plumbing, adding a bathroom, or altering structural elements does. We confirm what applies during the site assessment and handle the City of Toronto application if needed.
Can you convert my tub to a walk-in shower?
Yes — tub-to-shower conversions are one of our most common bathroom projects. We handle the waterproofing, drain relocation if needed, glass enclosure, and tile work as part of a fixed-scope quote.
What's the difference between a cosmetic update and a full remodel?
A cosmetic update keeps the existing layout and plumbing locations — new vanity, tile, fixtures, paint. A full remodel changes the layout, moves plumbing, or expands the footprint. We'll tell you plainly which one your project actually needs before you commit to either.
