Belleville homes
What bathroom renovations involves in Belleville's houses
Century and heritage homes in Belleville
Bathrooms in Belleville's older homes were often fitted into a former bedroom or closet, with cast-iron drains, galvanized supply lines and floors that have sagged around the toilet. We open the floor to check the joists, replace old piping while it is exposed, and add proper ventilation, which many older bathrooms never had.
Post-war bungalows and back-splits in Belleville
Most post-war Belleville bungalows have a single main-floor bathroom with a tub and a small window. A remodel often converts the tub to a walk-in shower, replaces the original cast-iron and galvanized piping, and adds an exhaust fan vented outside. Many owners add a second bathroom in the basement at the same time.
Newer homes built since 2000 in Belleville
Bathrooms in newer Belleville homes are usually sound but plain: fibreglass tub surrounds, small vanities and basic tile. Upgrades include tiled walk-in showers with a linear drain, heated floors and a double vanity, plus finishing the basement bathroom the builder roughed in.
Lakefront and riverside properties in Belleville
Lakeside and riverside homes around Belleville are prone to humidity, so ventilation matters even more than usual. We size the exhaust fan for the room, vent it outside, and use a continuous waterproofing membrane behind every tiled wet area.
Rules in Belleville
Permits and approvals for bathroom renovations in Belleville
Building permits
Building permits in Belleville are issued by the City of Belleville. Electrical work anywhere in Ontario is done by a licensed electrical contractor under an Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) permit. We confirm what your project needs before you sign and book every inspection.
Conservation authority
Much of Belleville falls within the Quinte Conservation watershed. Building near a shoreline, river, floodplain, valley or wetland can need a conservation authority permit before the municipality will issue a building permit. We check the regulation mapping for your property early so it does not hold up the schedule.
Testing before demolition
Homes built before the 1990s can contain asbestos in plaster, textured ceilings, floor tile, vermiculite insulation and pipe wrap, and homes from before the 1960s often have lead paint. In Belleville's older houses we test suspect materials before demolition and handle them by the regulations if they are found.
The service
Bathroom Renovations Built to Stay Dry
A bathroom is the hardest-working room in the house for its size. Water, steam and daily use find every weak point, so a good bathroom renovation is mostly about what goes behind the tile: a properly sloped shower base, a continuous waterproofing membrane, correctly sized ventilation and plumbing that is done right the first time.
We renovate main bathrooms, ensuites, powder rooms and basement bathrooms, from full gut remodels to tub-to-shower conversions. Popular upgrades include glass walk-in showers with a linear drain, floating vanities, heated floors, niches and larger-format tile.

Questions
Bathroom Renovations in Belleville: FAQs
How do I get a bathroom renovations quote in Belleville?+
Call (647) 424-1511, use the form on this page or email info@ontariorenovationcompany.com. Tell us what you want to change and send a few photos, and we will book a visit and send a written quote for your Belleville project.
What kinds of Belleville homes do you work on?+
All of them. Housing in Belleville includes century and heritage homes, post-war bungalows and back-splits, newer homes built since 2000 and lakefront and riverside properties, and each comes with its own considerations, from older wiring and foundations to builder warranties, septic systems and shoreline rules. We plan the work around the house you actually have.
Do I need a conservation authority permit in Belleville?+
Only if your property is in a regulated area, such as near a shoreline, river, valley, floodplain or wetland. Much of Belleville falls within the Quinte Conservation watershed. We check the mapping for your address before applying for the building permit.
How long does a bathroom renovation take?+
A straightforward bathroom remodel usually takes a few weeks of on-site work, longer if plumbing is moving, the subfloor needs repair or custom glass is ordered. Your quote includes the schedule.
Can you convert my bathtub into a walk-in shower?+
Yes. Tub-to-shower conversions are one of the most common bathroom projects we do. The drain, shower base and waterproofing are rebuilt for the new layout, and the shower can be curbless if the floor allows it.
What is the most important part of a bathroom renovation?+
Waterproofing. Tile and grout are not waterproof on their own. A continuous membrane behind the tile and under the shower floor, with a properly sloped base, is what keeps water out of the walls.
Do I need a permit to renovate a bathroom?+
Replacing fixtures in the same place usually does not. Adding a new bathroom, moving drains or making structural changes generally does. We confirm the requirements with your municipality.
Do you offer bathroom renovations across Belleville?+
Yes. We work throughout Belleville, including Downtown Belleville, East Hill, West Hill, Thurlow and Point Anne, and in nearby Trenton, Brighton, Cobourg, Peterborough and Port Hope.
