Bathroom renovation in Burnaby

Most bathroom problems start behind the finish: a shower pan with no proper membrane, a fan that vents into the attic, galvanized pipe from decades ago. A good bathroom renovation fixes what you cannot see first, then builds the part you can. That is how we approach every bathroom, whether it is a powder room or a full ensuite.

Waterproofing is the part that matters most

Tile and grout are not waterproof. What keeps water out of the walls and the floor below is the membrane under the tile. We install a continuous waterproofing system in every shower and wet area, then tile over it. It is a small line on the quote and the most expensive thing to get wrong.

Common bathroom projects

• Tub-to-shower conversion with a curbless or low-curb walk-in shower and glass.
• Ensuite renovation with a double vanity, larger shower and heated floor.
• Main bathroom refresh keeping the layout, with new tile, tub or shower, vanity and fixtures.
• Powder room upgrades: vanity, toilet, lighting, tile and paint.
• Condo bathrooms, planned around strata approval and working-hour rules.

Shower installation and walk-in showers in Burnaby

A new shower is more than the glass you see. Behind it is the drain, the slope of the floor, the membrane and the valve, and those decide whether it still works in ten years. When we install a shower we set the drain and slope first, waterproof the whole wet area, then tile and fit the glass. Walk-in showers with frameless glass, built-in benches, recessed niches and a handheld on a slide bar next to a rain head are some of the most common requests we get.

Bathroom remodelling or a full renovation?

A bathroom remodel usually keeps the layout: the toilet, sink and tub or shower stay where they are, and the finishes, vanity and fixtures are replaced. A full renovation takes the room back to the studs, which lets us move plumbing, enlarge the shower, add a niche or heated floor and replace old pipe. We look at the room with you and tell you honestly which one it needs.

What it costs

We do not publish a price list, because two bathrooms of the same size can differ by tens of thousands of dollars once you account for layout changes, fixtures and what is found behind the walls. Our bathroom renovation cost guide gathers typical Metro Vancouver ranges by scope so you can plan before we visit. Your quote from us is written and itemized.

Permits

In Burnaby, replacing fixtures and finishes without moving anything usually does not need a permit, but moving or adding plumbing does. We confirm which permits your bathroom needs before the quote. See the Burnaby permit guide.
