Price drivers

What pushes a bathroom renovation up or down

Layout changes that move plumbing or electrical
Tile coverage, glass, vanity, and storage choices
Waterproofing, ventilation, and moisture repair
Whether licensed trades need to be coordinated

Keeping the existing layout is usually the fastest way to control cost. Moving drains, vents, or switches tends to increase labour and inspection steps quickly.

Bathroom renovation FAQ

How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Ontario?

NSO currently tracks a typical Ontario bathroom remodel at about $8,000 on the low end, around $18,000 in the middle, and up to roughly $35,000 for more complex complete renovations. Final pricing depends on scope, materials, waterproofing, and whether the layout changes.

Do I need a permit for a bathroom renovation?

Permit requirements depend on the municipality and the scope of work. Before you sign, ask the contractor who is responsible for any required permits and inspections, especially if the job changes plumbing, electrical, or structure.

Should I start with a plumber or a renovation contractor?

If the project touches tile, fixtures, waterproofing, electrical, ventilation, and scheduling multiple trades, most homeowners start with a renovation contractor or general contractor who can coordinate the full job and bring in licensed trades where needed.
