Bathroom renovation in Bradford

A powder room runs $5,000 to $12,000, a standard full bathroom runs $12,000 to $25,000, and a primary ensuite or custom build runs $25,000 to $70,000 or more, before HST. Labour takes 50 to 60 percent of a bathroom budget, which is why the same fixtures can price so differently between contractors.

For a refresh, yes. Swap the vanity and toilet, redo the floor and lighting, reglaze the tub and repaint, and you can stay under $10,000 with a room that feels brand new. For a gut renovation with new tile and waterproofing, honestly, no. Those start around $12,000, and a quote promising a full gut for less is leaving out something you will pay for later.

Typically $14,000 to $25,000 in Bradford, depending on tile height, the drain and the glass. It is the single most requested bathroom change in this town, usually aimed at the corner soaker tub in the ensuite that nobody has filled in years. Done properly it includes a full membrane system and a floor sloped to the drain before any tile goes down.

Not for replacing fixtures in the same spots. A Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury permit kicks in when you move or add plumbing, relocate a drain, or change walls. Electrical work needs an ESA notification and GFCI protection. We pull permits in our own name and handle every inspection.

This is the most common worry we hear, and it is a fair one. A standard renovation takes two to four weeks of construction, so the honest answers are family nearby, a gym membership, or scheduling around a vacation week. When a house has one bathroom we run the tightest schedule we can and keep the toilet working until demolition truly forces the issue. It is worth asking any contractor to walk you through their one bathroom game plan before signing, because the answer tells you how often they have actually done it.

Almost every time. They add $1,500 to $3,500 to the project and they are the upgrade clients thank us for every February. If the budget forces a choice between heated floors and a fancier faucet, heat the floor.

More often than people expect, and we suggest it freely even though we are the ones who would profit from a full replacement. A solid tub in a shape you like can be professionally reglazed for $400 to $800, and that finish holds up five to ten years. Tearing the same tub out means demolition, plumbing work and tile repair before you have even bought the replacement, and that bill starts around $2,000.

Yes. You get a line itemized fixed price before any contract is signed, with the waterproofing system named in writing and real allowances for tile and fixtures. That is the price you pay on completion day, and financing up to $100,000 is available.
