Bathroom renovations in Aurora, planned with clear numbers up front
Starting a bathroom renovation in Aurora usually gets delayed for three very practical reasons: homeowners do not want to sit through multiple evening sales appointments just to find out what the work costs, nobody wants surprise add-ons once the old tile is off the walls, and nobody wants a shower that starts seeping into the ceiling below a couple of years later. When every stage is executed in the proper trade order—floor protection, demolition, rough plumbing, ESA-inspected electrical, framing, continuous membrane waterproofing, tile setting, cabinetry and custom glass—the schedule stays on track and the finished room lasts for decades.
For the past 14 years our team has built and remodelled residential bathrooms across York Region and the Greater Toronto Area. Instead of holding pricing back for an in-home pitch, we publish our starting labour packages right on this site, prepare a line-by-line written estimate from your photos first, draw the room layout for your sign-off prior to demolition, and stand behind our work with a written labour warranty.
Across the Town of Aurora, our projects generally fall into three groups. The first is the compact 3-piece hall bathroom in 1950s to 1970s homes around Regency Acres, Aurora Village and Aurora Heights, where a 5 x 8 ft or 7 x 9 ft room needs updated supply valves, an exterior-vented exhaust fan and fresh porcelain. The second is the builder-grade primary ensuite in 1990s and 2000s subdivisions such as Bayview Northeast, Bayview Wellington, Bayview Southeast and Aurora Grove, where an oversized corner whirlpool deck and narrow stall shower are reworked into a spacious walk-in glass shower and double vanity. The third is condominium and lower-level bathrooms, from suites along Yonge Street and Wellington Street to basement bathrooms in family homes and custom properties in Hills of St. Andrew and Aurora Estates.

Before and after bathroom transformations
Every photograph below comes from a real bathroom renovated by our crew across the GTA. Where the exact municipality for an older project was not logged in our job archive, we label it as GTA rather than guessing a street name. Drag the handle on any before-and-after slider to compare the bathroom before demolition with the completed room.
The four comparisons above show the range of residential bathrooms our crew takes on: an outdated wood-panelled primary bathroom rebuilt with veined marble porcelain, a freestanding oval tub and a walk-in shower with a pebble mosaic floor; a cramped 3-piece main bath transformed with a charcoal floating vanity, LED mirror and hex-mosaic walk-in shower; a builder corner-tub bathroom converted into a five-piece ensuite with a freestanding tub under the window and a dark-wood double vanity; and a dated tub bathroom updated into a bright walk-in glass shower with a black shaker vanity.
Explore the complete before and after gallery or read our detailed project case studies on a primary bathroom with a freestanding tub and pebble-floor shower, a frameless glass walk-in shower with ceiling rain head and stone bench, a bookmatched marble primary ensuite with dark-wood double vanity and a condo walk-in shower and powder room upgrade.
What does a bathroom renovation cost in Aurora?
Short answer
Our published Aurora labour packages start at $8,000 for a 7 x 9 ft main bathroom with a new bathtub, $11,500 for a 9 x 12 ft four-piece primary ensuite with a curbless shower and drain relocations, and $15,000 for a 15 x 8 ft wet room. Finish materials are purchased separately. Including mid-range tile, vanity, glass and fixtures, a typical hall bathroom comes to around $14,000 all-in and a primary ensuite starts at $30,000 or more.
You should be able to see realistic renovation numbers before inviting anyone to your house. Our published labour packages cover the full on-site construction scope—floor protection, demolition, bin disposal, rough plumbing, electrical, framing, waterproofing, tile setting and fixture installation—while the all-in figures show where total budgets land once you add porcelain or stone tile, cabinetry, countertops, faucets, a toilet and tempered glass.

What moves the final quote up or down
Floor area alone rarely dictates the price of a bathroom remodel. Relocating drain pipes beneath the subfloor, recessing floor joists for a zero-threshold curbless shower, and selecting custom millwork, stone countertops or 10 mm frameless glass change the budget far more than an extra foot of room width. In the Town of Aurora, keeping your toilet, tub and vanity in their existing positions also saves the fee and review time of a municipal building and plumbing permit.

What York Region and GTA homeowners say about our crew
…provided a full service option for me from design to demo to finish. The final product was a high quality finish completed within the time estimated. I am completely satisfied with the work and the professionalism through out the process.
We are very happy with the work Slava and his team did and would highly recommend them. We found him to be fair, honest and transparent. He was quick to respond to any inquiries and was very communicative throughout the entire process to address any questions or concerns. We will definitely use Slava for any future projects in our home.
I hired Slava to do some drywall, mudding & taping, trim, painting and tiles. I was happy with the quality of work, especially the tiles. But most importantly I was happy how he dealt with issues that I pointed out. No issues out of the ordinary but he fixed everything that I asked and stuck around until the job was done.
Every review above is printed in the homeowner’s own words from completed projects across Richmond Hill, Newmarket, Vaughan and Toronto; where a longer comment was shortened for space, an ellipsis marks the cut.

Renovating bathrooms across Aurora’s neighbourhoods
Aurora’s residential streets span mid-century bungalows near Yonge Street, 1980s family subdivisions, 2000s east-side developments and custom estate properties along the Oak Ridges Moraine. Each era comes with its own framing and plumbing details behind the walls.
Regency Acres, Aurora Village and Aurora Heights. Built primarily from the 1950s through the 1970s, these bungalows, split-levels and mature two-storey houses usually feature compact 5 x 8 ft or 7 x 9 ft hall bathrooms. Once we strip the old tile, we often replace aging shut-off valves, stiffen plywood subflooring around the toilet flange, and run a dedicated insulated duct to vent the exhaust fan outdoors instead of into the attic. Many homeowners in Regency Acres also ask for tub-to-shower conversions or accessible bathroom renovations with low or curbless thresholds and reinforced grab bars.
Aurora Highlands and Aurora Grove. Detached family homes built through the 1980s and early 1990s frequently still have their original honey-oak vanities, cultured-marble tops, 4-inch ceramic tile surrounds and early acrylic or cast-iron tubs. Opening the walls down to the studs lets us install a modern thermostatic shower valve, add recessed wet-rated LED pot lights and tile the wet zone to the ceiling.
Bayview Northeast, Bayview Wellington and Bayview Southeast. Constructed from the late 1990s through the 2000s between Bayview Avenue, Leslie Street and Wellington Street East, these two-storey houses almost always include a four- or five-piece primary ensuite with a bulky corner whirlpool tub deck beside a narrow 36-inch shower stall. Because the modern ABS drainage and 2x10 floor framing are straightforward to work with, removing the corner deck to build a spacious frameless glass walk-in shower and double vanity is our single most requested layout upgrade. Read our article on builder-grade ensuite upgrades in Aurora.
Hills of St. Andrew, Aurora Estates and Rural Aurora. Larger custom and estate homes often call for multi-outlet rainfall and body-spray showers, freestanding soaking tubs, electric radiant floor heating and lower-level guest suites.
Yonge Street and Wellington Street condominiums. Low- and mid-rise condo buildings in Aurora require property-management sign-off, WSIB and liability insurance certificates, reserved elevator windows and strict weekday noise hours. Visit our small and condo bathrooms page for how we handle condo renovations.
Town of Aurora building and plumbing permits
Under the Town of Aurora’s published building guidelines, repairing or replacing plumbing fixtures in the exact same spot, swapping bathroom cabinets without plumbing changes, and installing countertops, millwork and floor tile do not require a municipal building permit. Adding a new bathroom, relocating fixtures or drains, altering structural framing, or adding basement plumbing does require an application through the Town of Aurora Building Division (and a separate Plumbing & Drain Permit may apply), while electrical wiring is filed with the Electrical Safety Authority.
Usually no building permit
- Repairing or replacing existing plumbing fixtures (toilet, sink, faucet or tub) in the same location
- Replacing bathroom cupboards, vanities, countertops, millwork and floor or wall tile without plumbing alterations
- Painting, trim and finish upgrades that do not modify structural framing
- Electrical wiring, GFCI outlets and lighting, which are filed separately with the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA)
Building permit required
- Adding a new bathroom or installing new drain, waste, vent or water supply lines (a separate Plumbing & Drain Permit may apply)
- Relocating plumbing fixtures or cutting and altering structural wall or floor framing
- Adding a basement bathroom with new underground drains or registering a second or third dwelling unit

Aurora bathroom renovation FAQ
How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Aurora?
Our published Aurora labour packages start at $8,000 for a 7 x 9 ft main bathroom with a new bathtub, $11,500 for a 9 x 12 ft four-piece primary ensuite with a curbless shower and drain relocations, and $15,000 for a 15 x 8 ft wet room. Finish materials are purchased separately. When you combine site labour with mid-range porcelain tile, a vanity, glass and fixtures, a typical hall bathroom runs about $14,000 all-in and a full primary ensuite starts at $30,000 or more.
Can you remove the corner soaker tub and cramped stall shower in a Bayview Northeast or Aurora Grove ensuite?
Yes—that is one of the most frequent projects we build in Aurora. Two-storey detached houses across Bayview Northeast, Bayview Wellington, Bayview Southeast and Aurora Grove were built with a wide tiled tub deck under the window and a narrow framed shower stall beside it. By keeping the toilet stack and vanity drains in their existing positions, we can replace the deck and stall with a generous walk-in glass shower and a freestanding tub without tearing up the whole floor.
Will a standard 60-inch bathtub opening fit a practical walk-in shower?
A five-foot tub alcove converts cleanly into a spacious 60 x 32 inch walk-in shower. Once the old tub is out, we check the framing and subfloor, build a sloped mortar or foam shower pan with a continuous sheet membrane, add a recessed shampoo niche and corner footrest or bench, and finish the opening with 10 mm tempered glass.
When do you need a Town of Aurora building or plumbing permit for a bathroom renovation?
The Town of Aurora Building Division requires a permit when you add a new bathroom, relocate fixtures, alter drain, waste or vent piping, cut structural framing, or add basement plumbing. Replacing a tub, toilet, vanity, faucet or tile in the exact same location without changing the plumbing lines does not require a municipal building permit. Electrical wiring is filed separately with the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA).
Can our household use the bathroom while the remodel is underway?
Once demolition begins on day one and the supply valves are capped, that bathroom stays out of service until the new floor tile is grouted and the fixtures are set. If you live in a single-bathroom bungalow in Regency Acres or Aurora Village, tell us up front so we can plan the plumbing and floor tiling to reconnect the toilet as quickly as possible.
How long does an Aurora bathroom renovation take on site?
Active construction in your home normally takes three to five weeks for a full bathroom remodel, or roughly one to two weeks for a straightforward tub-to-shower conversion. Layout drawings, finish orders and any Town of Aurora permit or condominium board approval are completed before our crew starts demolition so the room is not left open waiting on parts.
Do you renovate condominium bathrooms along Yonge Street and Wellington Street in Aurora?
We do. Condo corporations in Aurora require an alteration package prior to work: a written scope, our WSIB clearance certificate, commercial liability insurance naming the corporation, and booked service-elevator times. Because drain traps are cast into the concrete slab, we keep the fixtures in their existing footprint while upgrading the shower, tile, vanity, lighting and ventilation.
Which Aurora neighbourhoods and surrounding York Region communities do you serve?
Our crew works across every part of Aurora—Bayview Northeast, Bayview Wellington, Bayview Southeast, Aurora Highlands, Aurora Estates, Aurora Grove, Aurora Village, Hills of St. Andrew, Regency Acres and Rural Aurora—as well as Newmarket, King (King City and Nobleton), Oak Ridges in Richmond Hill, Whitchurch-Stouffville and East Gwillimbury.
How do I confirm that a bathroom contractor carries active WSIB and liability insurance?
Request the company's current WSIB clearance certificate number and verify it on the WSIB Ontario website, and ask for a certificate of commercial general liability insurance listing the business name and policy dates. We provide both documents before you sign a renovation agreement.
What does your written workmanship warranty and first-year service visit include?
Every signed contract includes a written labour warranty covering our waterproofing, tile setting, carpentry and plumbing connections for the term stated in your agreement, plus a no-charge service call during the first 12 months to address minor seasonal settling such as a silicone joint or cabinet door alignment.
