Powder rooms to ensuites — tile, vanity, plumbing, lighting, glass enclosures. Permits, trades and timelines all managed by one BuildMan project lead.
BuildMan renovates bathrooms across Toronto and the GTA, from powder rooms to master ensuites, with permits, trades and inspections managed by one project lead. Powder rooms start around $12,000–$18,000, standard bathrooms typically run $22,000–$45,000 and ensuites $35,000–$75,000+. A standard family bathroom takes 2–4 weeks.

Most bathroom contractors are tile guys, plumbers, or general handymen. We've built entire homes — so we understand waterproofing, ventilation, structural changes, and finishing the way an architect would specify it.
Porcelain, ceramic, marble, large-format, herringbone, custom patterns. Heated floors and niches included.
Floating, double-sink, custom-built. Quartz or stone tops, soft-close drawers, integrated lighting.
Layout changes, rough-ins, fixture supply, faucets, toilets, bidets, body sprays — fully permitted.
Frameless and semi-frameless shower glass, custom measurements, low-iron options for crystal clarity.
Recessed, sconces, mirror lighting, GFCI receptacles, fan upgrades, smart switches — all to code.
Hydro Ban, Schluter Kerdi, or equivalent membrane systems behind every shower wall and floor.
Every bathroom is different, but here is what our Toronto clients typically invest by project type. These are all-in ranges covering labour, standard materials, permits and project management — final pricing follows a fixed quote after we walk the space.
| Project type | Typical 2026 range | Usual timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Powder room refresh | $12,000 – $18,000 | 1–2 weeks |
| Standard family bathroom | $22,000 – $45,000 | 2–4 weeks |
| Small bathroom (full gut) | $18,000 – $30,000 | 2–3 weeks |
| Master ensuite (custom glass, niches, heated floor) | $35,000 – $75,000+ | 3–5 weeks |
The biggest cost drivers are tile selection and coverage, whether the layout (and plumbing) moves, and vanity and fixture grade.

A renovation is a major investment in your home. Here's the experience and accountability behind every BuildMan project.
15+ years building and renovating GTA homes from the ground up — not a general handyman doing renovations on the side. That structural knowledge is why our finishes last.
Full liability insurance and WSIB coverage on every trade on your site, so your home and our crew are protected throughout the build.
Every project starts with a free in-home consult — we walk the space with you, talk through options and give you a clear quote before any work begins.
A single all-in quote and one point of contact from demo to sign-off. No open-ended hourly billing, no chasing five separate trades.
Real, verified reviews from GTA homeowners — read them on our Google listing.
We file, schedule and pass every required building, plumbing and electrical permit and inspection — you never deal with the city.
Most bathrooms we open up in Toronto come from one of three eras, and each hides something different. Pre-war semis in Leslieville, the Danforth and the Annex often have a cast-iron stack, galvanized supply lines and plaster over lath. Post-war bungalows in Scarborough, Etobicoke and North York tend to have a mortar-bed tub surround and joists notched years ago for a drain. Newer homes in Vaughan, Markham and Mississauga usually have builder-grade tile on plain drywall with no waterproofing membrane. Knowing which one you have is what lets us quote a fixed price without padding it.
Sequence matters as much as materials. A proper renovation runs demolition, then plumbing and electrical rough-ins, then the city inspection while walls are open, then the membrane with a flood test on the shower pan before a single tile goes down. Skipping that test is a common reason a new shower leaks within a few years, and the damage shows up in the ceiling below, not in the bathroom.
Two code items get missed constantly in low-bid jobs: the exhaust fan must vent outdoors, not into the attic or a soffit cavity, and receptacles near water need GFCI protection. Any new circuit is done by a licensed electrician under ESA rules, which we coordinate as part of the job.
If you are planning a smaller room first, our small bathroom renovation cost guide breaks the budget down line by line. For a quick fixture swap without a full remodel, see our plumbing fixture installation service.
2–4 weeks for a standard family bathroom, including permits and inspections. Powder rooms can be done in 1–2 weeks. We give you a daily schedule before we start, and you'll know exactly when each trade is on-site.
Yes — Toronto building permit, plumbing permit, and electrical permit are all part of our service. We file, schedule, and pass inspections so you don't deal with the city.
Powder rooms start around $12,000–$18,000. Standard bathrooms are typically $22,000–$45,000 depending on tile, vanity, and fixture selections. Master ensuites with custom glass and niches range $35,000–$75,000+. See our 2026 cost table above for a full breakdown.
A full gut-and-replace of a small bathroom typically runs $18,000–$30,000 in 2026, depending on tile coverage and whether the layout moves. Our detailed Small Bathroom Renovation Cost guide walks through exactly where the budget goes.
Yes. We're happy to install client-supplied fixtures and finishes — we'll just confirm specs and dimensions before delivery to make sure everything fits.
Only if you relocate fixtures. Keeping the toilet, tub and vanity roughly where they are keeps costs down; moving them means new rough-ins and a permit, which we handle and price up front so there are no surprises.
We can refer you to home improvement financing partners. Most clients use HELOCs or pay in milestone payments tied to project progress.
If you move plumbing or change electrical, yes — the City of Toronto requires a permit, and we file and pass it for you. A like-for-like cosmetic update (new vanity, toilet, tile in the same spots) usually doesn't. We confirm on the first visit.
We use a proper membrane system — Schluter Kerdi, Hydro Ban or equivalent — behind every shower wall and floor, not just water-resistant board. It's the single most important step for a bathroom that lasts, and it's standard on every BuildMan reno.
Yes. Small bathrooms and basement baths are common projects; basement baths often need a sump or sewage-ejector pump to lift waste to the main drain, which we handle. We'll tell you what your specific layout needs up front.
