Powder Room Renovation!
The powder room is the highest-visibility bathroom in a GTA home relative to its renovation cost. It is the bathroom guests use, the bathroom visible from the front entrance in many homes, and the space where a bold design decision delivers maximum impact in minimum square footage. Maple Leaf Quality Renos delivers fully designed powder rooms, not just painted and refreshed ones.

What a complete Maple Leaf powder room renovation includes:

  • Statement vanity — furniture-style vanity, vessel sink, or wall-mounted pedestal that treats the space as a designed room
  • Bold tile or wallcovering — richly patterned floor tile, full-height feature wall, or textured stone surface
  • Quality fixtures — matte black or brushed gold faucet, designer mirror, and side-mounted sconce at eye level
  • Exhaust fan vented to the exterior — mandatory code requirement; never to the ceiling cavity
  • Solid-core door — for acoustic privacy adjacent to the living or dining area
Three-Piece Bathroom Renovation!
A three-piece bathroom - toilet, sink, and walk-in shower - is the most requested bathroom configuration for GTA secondary bathrooms, basement bathrooms, and legal suite bathrooms. It provides complete bathroom function without a tub where one is not needed, and the walk-in shower specification is the element that most defines the quality of the finished result.

What a complete Maple Leaf three-piece bathroom renovation includes:

  • Curbless walk-in shower — named waterproofing membrane, flood-tested before tile; continuous on floor and all shower walls
  • Large-format tile — 24x24 or larger on walls and floor; requires a perfectly flat, rigid substrate
  • Linear or centre drain — properly positioned and connected before any slab is poured or flooring is reinstated
  • Frameless glass panel or enclosure — measured after tile is complete; installed with silicone-sealed connections throughout
  • Floating vanity with quartz countertop — wall-mounted at the correct height; solid blocking installed before drywall
  • Exhaust fan with humidity sensor — sized for the bathroom volume and vented to the exterior
Four-Piece Bathroom Renovation!
A four-piece bathroom - toilet, sink, shower, and tub — is the standard configuration for a primary family bathroom serving multiple household members and the required configuration for a legal basement apartment in Ontario. It must serve the full range of bathing preferences across every age and daily routine in the household.

What a complete Maple Leaf four-piece bathroom renovation includes:

  • Tub-shower combination or separate tub and shower — tub-shower combination for space efficiency; separate walk-in shower and soaking tub where floor area permits
  • Double sink or wide single vanity — reduces morning conflict in a multi-person bathroom; floating configuration available at custom height
  • Large-format porcelain tile — matte or textured finish for wet area slip resistance throughout the floor and shower zone
  • Full waterproofing membrane — named and tested system on all shower wet surfaces; flood-tested before tiling begins
  • Strong exhaust ventilation — CFM-rated fan on a timer switch or humidity sensor; vented to the exterior
  • In-floor radiant heating — installed before tile; not addable after tiling is complete
Primary Ensuite Renovation!
A primary ensuite renovation is the single highest-return bathroom scope in the GTA market, and the renovation that most consistently produces the strongest buyer emotional response during a showing. Done well, it delivers a spa-quality daily experience and a measurable property value addition from the day it is complete.

What a complete Maple Leaf primary ensuite renovation includes:

  • Dedicated walk-in shower — curbless entry, large-format tile floor-to-ceiling, frameless glass enclosure, and built-in niche; full waterproofing membrane flood-tested before tile
  • Freestanding soaking tub — positioned as a deliberate design centrepiece; floor-mounted filler and drain confirmed before plumbing rough-in
  • Double floating vanity — minimum 60-inch width; two sinks, two storage zones, side-mounted sconces at eye level
  • In-floor radiant electric heating — programmable thermostat; installed before tile is set; not addable after
  • Warm natural stone or large-format porcelain tile — floor, shower walls, and feature wall
  • Layered lighting — vanity sconces, shower fixture, ambient dimmer, and accent strip lighting on independent circuits
Bathroom / Washroom Ideas!
The best bathroom renovation starts with a specific vision of how the finished space will feel and function for your household every single day. Every idea below comes from real GTA bathroom renovations Maple Leaf Quality Renos has designed and built.

Popular configurations we design and build:

  • Primary ensuite spa transformation — walk-in shower, freestanding tub, double vanity, backlit mirrors, and radiant heat, designed as one cohesive space from first sketch to final tile
  • Walk-in shower — large-format tile floor-to-ceiling, curbless entry, linear drain, and frameless glass with full waterproofing throughout
  • Freestanding tub as focal point — floor-mounted filler with drain and supply planned before plumbing is committed
  • Two-tone tile design — large-format wall tile paired with contrasting mosaic shower floor or accent band
  • Floating vanity with backlit mirror — wall-mounted at custom height with shadow-free LED illumination
  • In-floor radiant heating — electric mat under tile with programmable thermostat
  • Accessible bathroom design — curbless entry, structural grab bars, and comfort-height toilet
  • Powder room transformation — statement vanity, oversized mirror, and floor-to-ceiling tile for maximum impact
Freestanding Tub as Focal Point!
A freestanding tub positioned in front of a window, against a feature tile wall, or centred in the room creates an immediate impression of luxury, one of the most impactful single-element upgrades available to GTA homeowners renovating a primary ensuite. Maple Leaf Quality Renos plans every freestanding tub installation from the design phase outward, so plumbing, space, and aesthetics align precisely.

Key considerations we plan around:

  • Design-first sequencing — tub model and exact position confirmed during design before any plumbing rough-in is committed
  • Floor-mounted tub filler positioned precisely for the selected unit, complementing the freestanding aesthetic far better than wall-mounted alternatives
  • Minimum floor area of approximately six by four feet, plus clearance for the filler and visual breathing room
  • Feature wall coordination with tile selected as a deliberate backdrop that complements rather than competes with the tub profile
Walk-in Shower Design!
Walk-in shower design has grown increasingly sophisticated in GTA bathroom renovations, combining aesthetic refinement with functional precision. Maple Leaf Quality Renos builds shower configurations where every detail, from drain placement to grout colour, is resolved before a single tile is set.

Key features we incorporate:

  • Large-format tile floor-to-ceiling on shower walls with minimal grout lines for a clean, low-maintenance finish
  • Curbless entry with linear drain eliminating the threshold trip hazard for a seamless, accessible transition
  • Frameless glass on three sides maximizing light and visual openness, properly sealed before sign-off
  • Recessed niche built into the shower wall during framing, tiled to match surrounding surfaces
  • Integrated bench seat recessed or corner-positioned, functionally and visually part of the design
  • Multiple shower heads with ceiling rain head and handheld, rough-in coordinated before any tile is committed
  • Grout colour deliberately selected to complement the field tile
Floating Vanity with Backlit Mirror!
Wall-mounted floating vanities create a spacious visual effect, simplify floor cleaning, and can be positioned at custom heights for the specific users of the bathroom. Combined with a full-width backlit LED mirror, the floating vanity delivers one of the most functional and visually modern configurations in GTA bathroom renovations today. Maple Leaf Quality Renos builds and installs every floating vanity with fully permitted electrical and structural blocking planned during framing.

Key features we incorporate:

  • Wall-mounted at custom height positioned for the specific users of the bathroom, not constrained by standard floor-standing dimensions
  • Full-width backlit LED mirror providing even, shadow-free illumination that eliminates the need for separate sconce lighting
  • Custom-built cabinetry with any combination of drawers and cabinet space sized to your specific storage needs
  • Open floor space below that creates a spacious visual effect and makes cleaning significantly easier than a floor-standing vanity
  • ESA-permitted electrical for all vanity lighting and mirror circuits, inspected by licensed electricians on every project
Two-Tone Tile Design!
Mixing tile types, formats, or colours adds depth and sophistication that a single tile throughout cannot achieve, when done with intention, it is one of the most effective design tools in a GTA bathroom renovation. Maple Leaf Quality Renos coordinates all tile selections during the design phase before any material is purchased, ensuring every combination is complementary in colour temperature and scale.

Popular configurations we design and build:

  • Large-format wall tile with mosaic shower floor — cohesive and functional, small-format tile allows proper slope to the drain
  • Patterned floor tile with plain wall tile — visual interest at floor level while keeping walls calm
  • Contrasting accent band at a consistent height around the shower — a deliberate detail, never an afterthought
  • Feature wall behind the vanity — a different tile that frames the vanity as a intentional focal point
Accessible Bathroom Design!
Accessible bathrooms are safer and more functional for users of all ages and abilities, and when designed thoughtfully, they are simply better bathrooms for everyone. Maple Leaf Quality Renos designs accessible bathrooms as aesthetically sophisticated spaces, never institutional-looking compromises, with every accessibility feature planned during the design phase before framing begins.

Key features we incorporate:

  • Curbless walk-in shower entry eliminating the threshold trip hazard for a seamless, visually clean transition
  • Structural grab bars with blocking installed during framing, rated to support 250 pounds of lateral force, never anchored into drywall alone
  • Comfort-height toilet specified during design and coordinated with plumbing rough-in
  • Knee clearance below the vanity allowing seated use, with the floating vanity positioned at the appropriate height
  • Non-slip floor tile with slight texture, selected alongside all other tile choices during the design phase

Bathroom Renovation / Remodelling Cost in the GTA!
A bathroom renovation is one of the highest-return renovation investments a GTA homeowner can make, returning 50 to 70 percent of renovation cost in appraised property value at resale, while delivering an immediate daily quality-of-life improvement that begins the day the renovation is complete. 

What affects GTA bathroom renovation cost: 

  • Whether the renovation is a cosmetic update or a complete gut-to-studs rebuild
  • Whether plumbing fixtures are staying in their existing positions or being relocated (relocation requires slab cutting in many GTA homes)
  • The waterproofing specification, a named, tested membrane system is required for every shower; shortcuts create water damage within years
  • Tile format and material, large-format natural stone costs significantly more than standard porcelain in both supply and installation
  • Fixture specification, entry-level fixtures versus mid-range quality versus premium brands
 
WALK-IN SHOWER: $8,000 TO $18,000 (WITHIN A FULL BATHROOM RENOVATION) 

A walk-in shower, curbless, tiled, and properly waterproofed, is the shower configuration that most consistently defines the quality of a GTA bathroom renovation and produces the strongest buyer response at resale. 

What a complete Maple Leaf walk-in shower scope includes: 

  • Named waterproofing membrane, Schluter Kerdi, Laticrete Hydro Ban, or equivalent; applied continuously on floor and all shower walls to minimum 1,800mm height; flood-tested before a single tile is set
  • Curbless entry with properly sloped floor, minimum 2 percent slope to the drain from all points; engineered before substrate is installed
  • Linear or centre drain, positioned and plumbing-connected before any slab is poured; cannot be moved economically after concrete is reinstated
  • Large-format tile, 24x24 or 24x48-inch porcelain on walls and floor; requires a perfectly flat, rigid substrate; supplied and installed by our tile team
  • Frameless glass enclosure, 3/8 or 1/2-inch tempered glass; measured after tile is complete; PVD-coated hardware in the chosen finish
  • Recessed shower niche, framed during construction; tiled during installation; one or two niches at accessible height

What floating vanity installation includes: 

  • Structural backing, solid wood blocking or plywood panel installed in the wall framing before drywall; this is the requirement most frequently skipped and the one whose absence causes the vanity to pull away from the wall within 2 to 3 years

  • Wider doorways, minimum 32-inch clear opening; 36-inch for wheelchair access; door swing confirmed before framing

FAQs - bathroom

A powder room or small 3-piece bathroom renovation typically takes 2 to 4 weeks. A full 4-piece bathroom renovation runs 3 to 6 weeks. A comprehensive primary ensuite with significant tile work, structural modifications, and custom elements can take 6 to 10 weeks. Permit approval timelines, custom material lead times, and the condition of what's discovered behind the existing walls all affect the schedule. We provide a clear timeline before construction begins and communicate any adjustments in advance.
Cosmetic updates, replacing tile, a vanity, a toilet, or a light fixture, generally don't require permits. Plumbing rough-in relocations (moving a drain, relocating a shower), structural changes, and electrical work beyond fixture replacements do. We assess permit requirements during consultation and manage all applications in-house, you never have to navigate that process yourself.
A tub-to-shower conversion focuses specifically on replacing an existing bathtub with a walk-in shower. It involves plumbing drain modification, waterproofing, tile installation in the shower area, and a glass enclosure, but typically leaves the rest of the bathroom unchanged. A full bathroom renovation addresses everything simultaneously, tile throughout, new vanity, toilet, flooring, lighting, and ventilation. Many homeowners choose to do the full renovation because the disruption period is similar but the comprehensive result is much more impactful.
For primary ensuites, the answer is almost always yes. The incremental cost of adding in-floor heating during a renovation, when the floor is already coming up, is modest relative to the comfort it provides every day of a Canadian winter. And it adds perceived value to the bathroom for future buyers. The system should be installed before tile is set, coordinated with the electrical rough-in. We include it in ensuite renovations whenever the budget allows.
Large-format porcelain tile (24x24 or larger) is the most popular choice in GTA bathroom renovations right now, it creates a clean, contemporary look with fewer grout lines to maintain. For shower floors, smaller format tile or mosaic is needed to allow proper slope to the drain. Natural stone, marble, travertine, adds warmth and elegance but requires sealing and more maintenance than porcelain. We walk through all options with you during the design phase and help you select the right material for each surface in the bathroom.
When the renovation is permitted and the plumbing, electrical, and structural work is done by licensed trades following the Ontario Building Code, it will pass inspection. We have managed hundreds of permitted bathroom renovations across the GTA without inspection failures on properly scoped and executed work. The permits aren't bureaucratic overhead, they're the process through which your renovation is verified as safe and code-compliant.
