Ahh, bathrooms.
All rooms are created, but they aren’t exactly equal. Bathrooms, like kitchens, are unique to every home and every family, and provide a great palette for your inspiration. That special space for kids, adults, bubble baths and unwinding, ahh, so many options! Let us help navigate the options from fixtures and vanities, showers and tubs, even the tiles and colours, so much fun!
Most sources agree the cost of bathroom renovations and updates are recouped or mostly recouped when selling your house, but we think its great when you can do the updates now and enjoy them for years to come.

This was a two piece bathroom enlarged to a full bath, with a soaker tub and shower. An old-fashioned hanging shower curtain completed the look, and gave style and functionality.
On the right, the bathroom was reformatted from a terrible cramped design, with a narrow vanity and much wasted space beside the shower to the right. The result was a far more usable and beautiful space to enjoy.
This beautiful renovation expanded the bathroom by consuming a useless skinny closet behind the bathroom. This added about the same area as a tub, dramatically changing the look and feel of the room, and eliminating that cramped feeling. The new deep tub and modern doors were greatly appreciated.
The right was done also with a new deep tub, new floor, renewed vanity with vessel sink and fixtures, and tiles. The matching shower and backsplash tiles, which are wiggly, give a fun and united appearance together with the marbled theme.
This renovation corrected a huge slant in the floor overlooked by an addition, retiled and changed out the vanity to the left. The floor alone made it a new, pleasing room to be in.
A beautiful bathroom created with new walls, tiles, vanity, flooring and paint. Eliminating the mold and repairing the rotted walls protects both health and the value of the home.
The second shower also had some repair work to get rid of a bizarre shower location to a normal height, and recoloured the grout for a refreshed look but also eliminating staining of the old grout.
This bathroom was created completely from scratch from some repurposed space, working around new ductwork just visible, building literally from the ground up with everything new.
Sorry to add the gross pictures in here, but, I have to include a promotion for preventative maintenance. If your caulking is discoloured or peeling, please replace it ! Water seeping behind tiles ruins the walls like this. Loose tiles or loose faucet plates should also be fixed as quickly as possible to prevent or minimize damage.
The left changed all the components of the bathroom, tub, tiles, vanity, floor etc, and removed the tiles from the wall to provide a fresher more modern look to the room.
The right replaced the badly damaged walls, and also removed the wall tiles in the remainder of the room. The window was replaced with a nice vinyl window that wont discolour or rot with the moisture. The shelves were added for some much needed storage, and the tub, which was otherwise in great shape had some chips touched up and renewed with epoxy.
Both of these bathrooms had leaks. The left had a leak from the foundation and also needed the original shower surround to be replaced. It was removed and replaced with great tiles and new glass doors, and the wall repaired from the foundation work. The walls were left ready to paint by the owners.
On the right, the shower itself was leaking, and a few layers of yucky under the old shower base needed to be removed. The room was tiled along the floor and up the walls of the shower for a great unified look. New fixtures to the left completed the improvements.
I hope this helps with some ideas and capabilities! Give a call and we can look at your ideas and dreams and explore the possibilities !!
