Our Oshawa Bathroom Renovation Services

We offer specialized bathroom renovation services for every space and need in Oshawa homes. Whether updating a dated powder room or creating a resort-style ensuite, our process ensures durability, waterproofing, and modern appeal.

Main Bathroom Remodels

Main bathrooms, often 5x8 feet in Oshawa's 1970s and 1980s semis in Lakeview and Samac, benefit from complete overhauls. We demolish outdated tub-shower combos on day 1, reroute plumbing per Ontario Building Code Part 7 on days 2-3, and install Schluter-Ditra uncoupling membranes for waterproofing. Large-format 24x48 inch porcelain tiles from Daltile cover floors and walls, paired with 3cm quartz vanity tops (Cambria or Caesarstone) and Kohler rectangular undermount sinks. Grohe single-lever faucets and LED recessed lighting complete the fresh look. These remodels typically span 3-4 weeks, boosting daily usability for families.

Ensuite Renovations

In Windfields and Northwood executive homes, ensuite renovations expand 6x9 foot spaces into private oases. Our architectural team's plans allow footprint adjustments, incorporating frameless glass shower enclosures with niche shelving and linear drains. We install heated porcelain floors using Schluter Ditra-Heat systems (operational in 48 hours post-tile), double floating vanities with soft-close drawers, and rain showerheads from Grohe. Toto Drake toilets ensure water efficiency, while custom mirrors with integrated defoggers add luxury. Timelines extend to 5-6 weeks for these high-end remodels.

Powder Rooms

Powder rooms in Taunton townhomes and bungalows receive quick 1-week transformations. Wall-mounted Toto Aquia IV dual-flush toilets save space and water, paired with vessel sinks on quartz consoles. Statement mirrors with backlit LED edges and matte black Moen fixtures create impact in under 20 square feet. These projects minimize disruption, ideal for homeowners needing fast updates before resale.

Accessible & Aging-in-Place

For Oshawa seniors in Northwood and Samac, we design accessible bathrooms compliant with OBC accessibility guidelines. Zero-threshold porcelain tile showers with fold-down seats, 42-inch ADA grab bars, and lever-handle Kohler faucets ensure safety. Comfort-height vanities and anti-slip flooring with Schluter Troba drainage prevent falls. These renovations promote independent living, often completed in 3 weeks.
