Bathroom Renovations in Cambridge
Bathroom renovations are a steady part of our work in Cambridge, from Galt and Preston to the rest of the area. The most common requests are walk-in showers, tub-to-shower conversions, double vanities and basement bathrooms.
Every Cambridge 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.

Cambridge homes
What bathroom renovations involves in Cambridge's houses
Century and heritage homes in Cambridge
Bathrooms in Cambridge'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 Cambridge
Most post-war Cambridge 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 Cambridge
Bathrooms in newer Cambridge 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 Cambridge
Permits and approvals for bathroom renovations in Cambridge
Building permits
Building permits in Cambridge are issued by the City of Cambridge. 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 Cambridge'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 Cambridge: FAQs
How do I get a bathroom renovations quote in Cambridge?+
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 Cambridge project.
What kinds of Cambridge homes do you work on?+
All of them. Housing in Cambridge includes century and heritage homes, post-war bungalows and back-splits 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 Cambridge?+
Yes. We work throughout Cambridge, including Galt, Preston, Hespeler, Blair, East Galt and West Galt, and in nearby Paris, Ancaster, Dundas, Waterdown and Hamilton.
