Types of project

What people ask us about for the bathroom

Knowing which one you are planning helps a firm tell you what is realistic.

01

A quick refresh

New paint, lighting, mirror, taps or accessories, with the layout unchanged.

02

Vanity, toilet and fixtures

Replacing the main fixtures, which can be simple or can need plumbing changes.

03

A new shower or tub

Replacing a shower, tub or glass enclosure, where waterproofing matters most.

04

Tub to shower conversion

Replacing a tub with a walk-in or standard shower.

05

A full renovation

New layout or finishes, tile, fixtures, lighting and ventilation, usually with several trades.

06

Accessibility upgrades

Curbless showers, grab bars and other changes to make the room safer to use.

What decides the cost

Six things that shape the price of a bathroom project

01

The size of the room

A small bathroom is not always cheap, because the fixtures and tile still need doing.

02

Layout changes

Moving the toilet, shower or vanity means moving pipes and drains.

03

Materials and fixtures

Tile, the vanity, the shower and finishes can range widely.

04

Waterproofing and hidden repairs

Rot or damage behind old walls and floors is common in older bathrooms.

05

Electrical work and ventilation

Safe lighting, heating and a fan that actually clears the moisture.

06

The trades involved

Plumbing, electrical, tile and drywall may each be a separate cost.

Before you sign

Six things to ask any bathroom firm before signing

01

Are you licensed and insured?

Ask for the licence number, proof of insurance and a workers' compensation clearance, and check them yourself.

02

How will you waterproof it and ventilate the room?

Ask them to explain it, not only to say it is included.

03

What is in the written contract?

The scope, price, schedule and products, in writing.

04

Who does the plumbing and electrical work, and will I get permits and inspections?

Their own team or subcontractors, and who is responsible for the work.

05

How do you handle surprises and changes?

Ask how extra work is priced and approved before it is done.

06

How is my deposit protected?

And what is guaranteed, for how long.

Good to Know

Questions about Namoye

How much does a bathroom renovation cost?

It varies with the size, how much you change, the fixtures and tile you choose, and where you live. Namoye doesn't set prices. Ask for a written, itemized quote that shows what is included.

How long will my bathroom be out of use?

It depends on the scope. A simple update can be quick, while a full renovation can take a few weeks or more. Ask for a written schedule and what could change it, and plan where you will wash in the meantime.

Why does waterproofing matter so much?

Water that gets behind tile or into the floor can cause damage that is expensive to fix. Ask how the firm waterproofs showers and tub surrounds, which membrane or backer board they use and how they test it.

Why do the electrical and plumbing rules matter?

Water and electricity are a dangerous mix, so electrical work in a bathroom has strict rules, including ground-fault protection. Plumbing must be done by a licensed plumber. The work often needs a permit and an inspection. Ask who does it, their licence number, and for a copy of any permit and inspection.

Do I need a permit?

Some work, such as moving plumbing, changing electrical circuits or altering walls, needs a permit from your municipality. Ask the firm what applies and who arranges it. Unpermitted work can cause problems when you sell or claim on insurance.

Will changing the layout cost more?

Often, yes. Moving the toilet, shower or vanity usually means moving pipes and drains, which adds cost and work, especially in a basement or on a slab. Ask the firm what would cost more and why.

What about ventilation?

Poor ventilation leads to damp and mould, which is a particular issue in cold climates. Ask what exhaust fan the firm will fit, how it is rated, and where it vents to. It should vent outside, not into the attic.

What if I rent or live in a condo?

If you rent, you need your landlord's agreement before changing anything. In a condo, check with the condominium corporation about rules, approvals, working hours, and whether there are limits on work that affects plumbing or neighbours.

Can a bathroom be made safer or easier to use?

Yes. Options include a curbless shower, a higher toilet and grab bars with reinforced walls. Some provinces and municipalities have programs or tax credits for accessibility renovations, so ask what may apply.

How should I pay, and is my deposit safe?

Ask how much is due and when, and agree payments tied to progress rather than a large amount upfront. Ask how your deposit is protected if the firm goes out of business, and how liens and holdbacks work in your province.

What should I have ready?

What you want to change, a rough budget and timeline, photos or measurements of the bathroom, and your postal code. If you don't have everything, send the request anyway.

Is Namoye a bathroom company?

No. Namoye is a free matching service. It doesn't do the work, price it or guarantee it. The firm that contacts you is responsible for the job and the quote.

Will several firms call me, and does it cost anything?

No to both. A verified professional contacts you, and Namoye is free for you.
