Bathroom Renovations in Bowmanville
Bathroom renovations are a steady part of our work in Bowmanville, from Downtown Bowmanville and Port Darlington to the rest of the area. The most common requests are walk-in showers, tub-to-shower conversions, double vanities and basement bathrooms.
Every Bowmanville bathroom we build gets a continuous waterproofing membrane, a properly sloped shower base and an exhaust fan sized for the room, with plumbing by licensed trades and tile set flat and true.

Bowmanville homes
What bathroom renovations involves in Bowmanville's houses
Century and heritage homes in Bowmanville
Bathrooms in Bowmanville'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.
1970s to 1990s family homes in Bowmanville
Bowmanville homes from the 1970s to the 1990s often have a dated main bath and an ensuite with a corner jetted tub that is rarely used. Replacing that tub with a large glass shower is one of the most requested changes we see. If the house has poly-B plumbing, we replace it while the walls are open.
Newer homes built since 2000 in Bowmanville
Bathrooms in newer Bowmanville 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.
Rules in Bowmanville
Permits and approvals for bathroom renovations in Bowmanville
Building permits
Building permits in Bowmanville are issued by the Municipality of Clarington. 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.
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 Bowmanville'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 Bowmanville: FAQs
How do I get a bathroom renovations quote in Bowmanville?+
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 Bowmanville project.
What kinds of Bowmanville homes do you work on?+
All of them. Housing in Bowmanville includes century and heritage homes, 1970s to 1990s family homes and newer homes built since 2000, 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.
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 Bowmanville?+
Yes. We work throughout Bowmanville, including Downtown Bowmanville, Port Darlington, Bowmanville West, North Bowmanville and Brookhill, and in nearby Newcastle, Courtice, Oshawa, Ajax and Port Perry.
