The steps NO ONE shows you when adding a new bathroom... 🛠️👇

Before the nice tile and vanity gets installed there’s a whole lot of dirty work buried under your slab. Here’s what actually goes into the hidden phase of a bathroom build:

📍 Locate & Tie In: You have to trace your existing lines and plan the route for the new plumbing layout.

🔨 Chip & Save: Break up the concrete slab to access the ground below. Pro tip: Save the gravel aggregate, you’ll need it to backfill later!

⚠️ Dig Smart: The most critical part! Underground gas lines, electrical, or existing pipes can be hiding right under the surface. Break one, and your project cost doubles.

👨‍🔧 The Plumber’s Go-Ahead: Always have a licensed & insured plumber handle the rough-in and pass inspection before you seal anything back up.

🥣 Concrete & Cure: Backfill with your saved aggregate and pour fresh concrete. A thorough, even mix is key to structural strength so it cures rock-hard without cracking.

✨ Smooth Finish: Get it as flat as possible now so you don’t fight it later. (You can always run a self-leveler after curing for a perfectly flat subfloor).

Once that slab cures... the fun part begins! 🧱✨

This homeowner in the Idlewood/Lackner Woods area of Kitchener had a small section of damaged drywall. Instead of tearing out and replacing the whole ceiling, we patched, repaired, and blended just the affected area. Kept the cost low for them and they were satisfied.

Your bathroom renovation doesn’t have to break the bank. Swipe to see the bathroom remodel before and after pictures of this recent transformation.

We specialize in full-scale bathroom renovation projects across the region and provide a bathroom renovation Kitchener Waterloo homeowners can trust.

Let’s talk numbers. While a bathroom renovation cost in Ontario average typically falls between $20,000 – $30,000, we pride ourselves on being flexible. We usually start anywhere between $15,000 – $20,000 for bathroom renovations, but everyone has different wants, needs, and expectations.
We work closely with our clients to accommodate their specific budgets without sacrificing quality, so we were able to do this specific remodel for $10,000.
