Thunder Bay, ON · Bathroom Renovation
Small room, big list of decisions. The best bathroom renovations are decided by what is behind the walls, not just what you see on the surface.
Bathroom jobs in Thunder Bay generally fall into one of three groups, and knowing which one you are planning makes the quote much easier to compare.
New vanity, toilet, lighting, paint and flooring, with the tub and layout left alone. This is the quickest and lowest-cost route, and a good fit when the plumbing and waterproofing behind the walls are sound.
Replacing a tub with a walk-in shower is one of the most requested changes, especially for homeowners planning to stay in their house for years. It involves new waterproofing, a new drain position, and often a change to the floor. A curbless or low-threshold shower is a bigger job than a standard pan.
Everything comes out: fixtures, tile, walls, and sometimes the subfloor. This is the moment to fix old plumbing, add a proper exhaust fan, upgrade wiring, and add heat, such as an in-floor system, which many people appreciate in a Thunder Bay winter.
Wider doorways, a low-threshold shower, grab-bar blocking inside the walls, and comfort-height fixtures make a bathroom safer for years to come. The blocking costs very little if it is installed while the walls are open, so it is worth raising early, even if you do not need the bars today. Some households may also qualify for provincial or federal tax credits for accessibility work, so ask your tax preparer before the project starts.
