Why clients choose Adept
Bathroom renovations fail on price surprises, wet-zone shortcuts, and too many subcontractors. Adept runs the opposite model: fixed scope, proper waterproofing, and finish under one team.
Fixed price contracts
You get a written line-item scope (materials, labour, and what’s excluded) before anything is torn out. The price you sign is the price you pay, unless you approve a change in writing.
One crew from demo to paint
Plumbing and tile don’t hand off to a mystery painter. Drywall, finishing, and bath-rated paint stay with Adept - and Awat stays accountable from scope to walkthrough, not a rotating project manager.
Toronto houses & condos
Older plumbing, knob-and-tube surprises, board packages, elevator bookings, and $5M insurance - handled up front so condo rules don’t stop the schedule mid-build.
Waterproofing + written warranty
Wet zones get a continuous membrane and sealed seams before tile goes on - shown to you before it’s covered. Every job includes a 2-year workmanship warranty and a 5-year structural warranty in writing.

How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Toronto?
A full bathroom renovation in Toronto typically runs $20,000–$35,000 for a mid-range remodel and $35,000–$60,000+ for a luxury or layout-changing renovation. Cost depends on bathroom size, cosmetic refresh vs full gut, materials, and whether plumbing or electrical needs to move. After a free consultation, Adept provides a fixed-price scope of work with no surprise change orders. For a full line-item breakdown, see our bathroom renovation cost Toronto 2026 guide.
| Room type | Typical range (CAD) |
|---|---|
| Powder room (2-piece) | $6,000 – $12,000 |
| 3-piece bathroom | $14,000 – $25,000 |
| 4-piece / main bathroom | $20,000 – $35,000 |
| Ensuite / primary bathroom | $30,000 – $60,000+ |
| Condo bathroom | $15,000 – $30,000 |
Downtown and older Victorian stock can run higher when plumbing stacks, subfloors, or knob-and-tube need updating. North York, Etobicoke, and Scarborough mid-range projects often land in the brackets above when layouts stay put. Labour is typically 40–60% of total.
Mid-range bathroom renovations in Toronto: quality without overspending
Adept specializes in mid-range bathroom remodels ($20,000–$35,000) with custom design, quality materials (porcelain tile, quartz countertops, reputable fixtures), and full project management, without the luxury price tag. See our bathroom renovations service page for scope details, or get a fixed-price quote after a free site visit.
Factors that affect cost
- Bathroom size and layout complexity
- Cosmetic refresh vs full gut remodel
- Materials: tile, cabinetry, countertops, fixtures
- Labour (typically 40–60% of total)
- Plumbing or electrical relocation ($2,000–$5,000)
- Custom features: walk-in showers, heated floors, millwork
- City of Toronto permits when structural or drainage changes apply
Timeline
How long does a bathroom renovation take in Toronto?
A full bathroom renovation in Toronto typically takes 2 to 4 weeks for a cosmetic refresh and 6 to 10 weeks for a complete gut remodel. Permits, material lead times, and condo approvals happen before Week 1. Timelines and budgets are covered in more detail in our bathroom renovation cost guide. Week-by-week for a standard 3-piece active build:
Week 1
Demo & rough-in: demolition, plumbing rough-in, electrical rough-in, and dust control on site. Active build starts after pre-construction (materials, permits, condo approvals) is complete.
Week 2
Waterproofing & tile: full wet-zone waterproofing, drywall, tile install, and grout for lasting moisture protection.
Week 3
Fixtures & finish: vanity, toilet, lighting, paint, and shower glass measurement as finishes go in.
Week 4
Glass & walkthrough: shower glass install, final inspection, deep clean, and warranty handoff. Project complete.
Add 1–2 weeks for layout changes, custom vanities, or older homes with knob-and-tube wiring. Condo bathrooms often run 1–2 weeks longer than house bathrooms once approvals clear.
Scope
Full gut vs cosmetic bathroom remodel: which is right for you?
Option 01
Cosmetic remodel
$10,000–$18,000 · 1–2 weeks
Keeps your existing layout. Replaces tile, vanity, toilet, lighting, and paint. Plumbing and electrical stay put, with no walls moved.
Option 02
Full gut remodel
$20,000–$60,000+ · 4–6+ weeks active
Strips to the studs, replaces plumbing and electrical, moves walls or fixtures, and waterproofs from the ground up with a full waterproofing system.
You likely need a gut renovation if your home was built before the 1970s (knob-and-tube, galvanized plumbing), you are changing the layout, or demo reveals rot or mold. Adept inspects and advises during your free consultation.
Condo boards
Downtown condo bathroom · Toronto
Condo bathroom renovations in Toronto
Board approval often takes 2–6 weeks before demo. Elevator bookings, restricted work hours, tighter spaces, and soundproofing requirements all add logistics a house job does not have.
Adept handles the paperwork, $5M insurance certificates, and building coordination so the renovation runs cleanly in a shared tower. Expect 1–2 weeks longer than a comparable house bathroom once approvals clear. Learn more about our bathroom renovation process.
Permits
Do I need a permit for a bathroom renovation in Toronto?
Like-for-like fixture replacements in the same locations usually do not need a City of Toronto building permit. Moving load-bearing walls, altering structural framing, or adding new drainage stacks typically does.
Adept flags permit needs on the site visit and manages the application when required. Condo board approval is separate, so budget time for both. We confirm local rules in Mississauga, Vaughan, Markham, and neighbouring municipalities before work begins. Not sure what to ask your contractor? Use our hiring guide for Toronto renovations.

Common questions
Toronto bathroom renovation FAQs
- How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Toronto?
- A full bathroom renovation in Toronto typically runs $20,000–$35,000 for a mid-range remodel and $35,000–$60,000+ for a luxury or layout-changing renovation. Powder rooms often start around $6,000–$12,000; ensuites can reach $30,000–$60,000+. Cost depends on size, cosmetic vs full gut, materials, and whether plumbing or electrical moves. After a free consultation, Adept provides a fixed-price scope of work with no surprise change orders.
- How long does a full bathroom renovation take in Toronto?
- A cosmetic refresh typically takes 2–4 weeks of active work. A complete gut remodel that moves plumbing or changes the layout usually takes 6–10 weeks including pre-construction. Permits, material lead times, and custom cabinetry can add 1–2 weeks. Condo board approvals often add 2–6 weeks before demo. Adept provides a written schedule upfront and manages every phase from demolition through final walk-through.
- Do I need a building permit for a bathroom renovation in Toronto?
- Like-for-like fixture replacements in the same locations generally do not require a City of Toronto building permit. Moving load-bearing walls, altering structural framing, or adding new drainage stacks typically does. Adept flags permit requirements during your site visit and manages the application when needed. Condo projects also require board approval separate from municipal permits.
- What is the difference between a full gut and a cosmetic bathroom remodel?
- A cosmetic remodel keeps your existing layout and replaces visible surfaces (tile, vanity, toilet, lighting, and paint) without moving plumbing or electrical. Typical cost: $10,000–$18,000; timeline: 1–2 weeks. A full gut strips to the studs, replaces plumbing and electrical, may move walls or fixtures, and waterproofs from the ground up. Typical cost: $20,000–$60,000+; timeline: 4–6+ weeks of active work. Adept offers both and helps you choose the right scope.
- Do you handle condo bathroom renovations in Toronto?
- Yes. Condo bathrooms add board approvals (often 2–6 weeks), elevator bookings, restricted work hours, and insurance certificates. Adept coordinates with property management, supplies $5M liability documentation, and builds the logistics into your schedule - typically 1–2 weeks longer than a comparable house bathroom.
- What warranty do you provide on bathroom renovations?
- Every bathroom renovation includes a 2-year workmanship warranty on labour and installed work, plus a 5-year structural warranty on structural modifications we perform. Manufacturer warranties on fixtures and materials transfer to you. Details are written into your project agreement, not buried in fine print.
- How do you waterproof behind the tile?
- We never install tile directly over standard drywall without a waterproofing system. Wet zones get a continuous waterproof membrane and sealed seams for full moisture containment, with exhaust ventilation vented outdoors.
