A Bathroom That Is Easier to Use

Still looks like your bathroom

Walk-in and curbless showers, a handheld shower wand, comfort-height toilets and lever taps can make a bathroom easier to get in and out of without making it feel like it was designed around a limitation. Done so it looks like part of the bathroom rather than a retrofit.

  • Handheld shower wand
  • Comfort-height toilets
  • Lever taps
Our Scope
 

What We Handle

The plumbing side of the bathroom

As a licensed plumbing contractor, relocating drains and supply lines is what we do.

  • Tub-to-shower conversions
  • Shower and tub installation
  • Toilets, vanities, faucets, and fixtures
  • Plumbing relocation and rough‑ins
  • Waterproofing and tile preparation
  • Final trim and fixture finishing
All plumbing work is completed to the applicable Ontario Building Code requirements.
The Sequence

Usually two visits, not one

On a tub-to-shower conversion we pull the old tub and move the drainage. If you are putting in an acrylic base, we come back and mount it when the room is ready for us. If you are tiling, we get the drain assembly ready for the tiler and come back after the tile is finished to set the trim. Knowing that up front makes the rest of your schedule easier to plan.

The Boundary

What finishing means here

The decorative trims, the shower head and handles, mounting the toilet, and the drain connections that let the vanity go in. Toilet paper holders, towel bars and shower doors are usually installed by someone else.

What It Costs
 

What Will It Cost?

A Clear Range for the Plumbing Scope

For most bathroom renovations, the plumbing portion includes the rough-in, any required relocations, valves, connections, and installation of standard fixtures.

The final price depends mainly on how much the plumbing has to move, the existing layout, and the fixtures you choose.

Bathroom plumbing, including standard fixtures:
$5,000 – $10,000
Plus HST.

Your free in-home consultation turns the range into a written price you can compare, covering:

  • The defined plumbing scope
  • Fixture selections and allowances
  • Labour and installation
  • What is not included
  • How changes are priced and approved
  • The schedule for our part of the work
 

We price the work to complete it properly and lay it out ahead of time, so you can compare the real job rather than an artificially low starting bid.

Before

A Main-Floor Shower Where There Was None

Baden, ON
Started with:

A senior homeowner with no shower on this floor. A large cabinet and unused wall space, and no plumbing to it.

What we did:

Removed the cabinet, opened the space and installed a new walk-in shower with new water and drain lines, handheld shower and grab bar.

Time:

One week on site

What improved:

Created a shower where there wasn't one before, using space the homeowner already had.

Let's start your bathroom plumbing the right way.

  • A clean site as we go, and a walkthrough of our work when it is done
Working With Your Trades
 

How We Fit Into a Bigger Project

A clear scope, around your other trades

Some people call us with a bathroom already being renovated by someone else. Some are starting from scratch and need to know who does what. Either way, what we own is clear: the plumbing, priced in writing before we start. We schedule our work around the other trades in the bathroom, so everyone knows when the plumbing needs to happen and what has to be ready first.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

1Do you renovate the whole bathroom?
No. We are the plumbing contractor. We handle the plumbing side of the bathroom and coordinate our work with the contractor and the finishing trades handling tile, drywall, flooring and other finishes.
2Can you convert a tub to a walk-in shower?
Yes. We remove the old tub and mount the new acrylic shower base for you. If you are planning a tiled shower, we remove the tub and get the drain assembly ready for the tiler, then come back after the tile is done to finish the trim.
3Can you move plumbing fixtures?
Yes. As a licensed plumbing contractor, relocating drains and supply lines is what we do.
4What does the plumbing cost on a bathroom?
$5,000 to $10,000 plus HST including standard fixtures, depending on the fixtures you choose and how much of the plumbing has to move.
5What does the plumbing cost on a new home or substantial renovation?
$40,000 to $50,000 plus HST would get you two bathrooms, with a kitchen, laundry, and a mechanical room with equipment like a water heater. The price depends on a lot of factors, such as city or well water, sewer or septic, the water treatment needed, and the fixtures chosen.
6Do you install grab bars and comfort-height toilets?
Comfort-height toilets, yes. Grab bars need adequate wood blocking behind the drywall to hold, so we take them on when the walls are open and it is part of our scope and we can plan for it. Where the walls are already finished, we will tell you rather than mount something that will not hold.
7Do you work with my contractor?
Yes.
8Do you handle permits and inspections?
Where the plumbing work needs a permit, we handle it and the inspection.
9Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. A licensed plumbing contractor, carrying $5 million in liability insurance, with WSIB coverage.
