Real feedback from completed bathroom renovations across Toronto homes and condos.
Professional from start to finish. Our bathroom looks exactly as we hoped and came in on time and on budget. The team was respectful of our home.
The condo board approval process was completely seamless. Maserat handled all the documentation and insurance certificates. Our bathroom went from dated to modern in just two weeks.
They were available when we had questions and guided us through every decision. Our ensuite turned out better than we imagined.
Scope, building type, and finishes move numbers more than square footage alone. Tier ranges stay on our pricing section ($25,000–$70,000+). For deeper research, see the bathroom renovation cost guide.
Five factors usually have the greatest effect on the approved scope.
Moving walls or converting a tub to a walk-in shower typically moves a project from Standard into Mid-range or Premium ($40,000–$70,000+).
Relocating fixtures often means drain and supply rerouting ($3,000–$8,000 when fixtures move). Circuit upgrades are line items in your fixed-price proposal.
Tile commonly runs $8–$40 per sq ft; vanity and faucet sets about $1,500–$5,000+. Upgrades above your allocation are priced as the difference.
Pre-1980s homes often need electrical or plumbing brought to current code. Issues are scoped before demolition — not left as mid-project surprises.
City permits apply when plumbing, structure, or circuits change. Condo projects also need board approval. City fees are passed through at municipal rates.
We serve homeowners and condo residents across Toronto's established neighbourhoods — one design-build team, fixed pricing for the approved scope, and a dedicated project manager on every project.
We help you select faucets, fixtures, tile, and vanities from brands frequently specified and sourced for Toronto bathroom renovations — matched to your design goals and budget.
