How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Markham?

A basic refresh (new vanity, toilet, tile, and fixtures without moving plumbing) often runs in the lower five figures. A full gut renovation that relocates plumbing, reframes the space, or adds a custom shower can run considerably higher. Costs move a lot based on tile choice, whether you need a custom glass shower enclosure, and whether the existing subfloor or plumbing needs repair once walls are opened up. Get itemized quotes so you know what's an allowance versus a fixed price.

How often does a bathroom need to be renovated?

Most bathrooms hold up well for 15 to 25 years before grout failure, dated fixtures, or worn waterproofing make a renovation worthwhile. Signs it's time sooner include soft spots in the subfloor, persistent mold behind tile, or a shower pan that's leaking into the floor below.

What should I expect during the renovation process?

Expect demo and disposal first, then an inspection of the subfloor and plumbing behind the walls (this is where surprises and change orders usually happen), followed by rough-in, waterproofing, tile, and fixture installation. A single full bathroom typically takes two to four weeks depending on custom tile work and whether permits and inspections are required.

How can I judge the quality of a contractor's work before hiring?

Ask for photos of finished bathrooms at least a year old, not just fresh installs, since that shows how the waterproofing and grout hold up over time. Confirm they carry liability insurance and, if plumbing or electrical work is involved, that they pull the required permits rather than working around them.

Bathroom Renovation in Markham

Bathroom Renovation in Greater Toronto Area

Bathroom renovation covers everything from a straight tub-to-shower swap to a full gut job that moves plumbing, reframes walls, and reconfigures the layout. In Markham, that typically means tear-out and disposal of old tile and fixtures, rough-in work for plumbing and electrical (especially if you're relocating a toilet or adding a second vanity), waterproofing behind tile and around shower pans, tiling, drywall or cement board, then installing the vanity, tub or shower, toilet, fan, and lighting. Permits come into play whenever plumbing lines move or new electrical circuits are added, so a contractor who pulls permits without being asked is usually a good sign.

We list 6 bathroom renovation contractors serving the Markham area. Before hiring, ask to see photos of completed jobs similar in scope to yours, confirm who's actually doing the waterproofing (a rushed or skipped membrane is the single most common cause of callbacks), and get a written scope that separates labor, materials, and any allowances for tile or fixtures. Get at least two quotes so you can compare what's actually included, not just the bottom-line number.

Our scores weigh licensing and insurance, verified reviews, response time, and consistency of finished work across projects. For the full ranked list with scores and reasoning, see our best renovation contractors in Markham guide. Details on how we calculate rankings are on our methodology page.
