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

Dundas homes
What bathroom renovations involves in Dundas's houses
Century and heritage homes in Dundas
Bathrooms in Dundas'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 Dundas
Most post-war Dundas 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.
Rules in Dundas
Permits and approvals for bathroom renovations in Dundas
Building permits
Building permits in Dundas are issued by the City of Hamilton. 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 Dundas'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 Dundas: FAQs
How do I get a bathroom renovations quote in Dundas?+
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 Dundas project.
What kinds of Dundas homes do you work on?+
All of them. Housing in Dundas includes century and heritage homes and post-war bungalows and back-splits, 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 Dundas?+
Yes. We work throughout Dundas, including Downtown Dundas, Greensville, University Gardens and Spencer Creek Valley, and in nearby Ancaster, Hamilton, Waterdown, Stoney Creek and Caledonia.
