Ensuites, main bathrooms and walk-in showers across Hamilton.
A tub and shower in one, with large marble-look tile to the ceiling and a built-in niche. The right call when it is the only tub in the house.

One of our favourite transformations, from Joshua Creek in Oakville: a 90s ensuite rebuilt with a freestanding tub, a warm wood double vanity and a walk-in shower.
Family owned since 2003We are a family-owned renovation company with offices in Oakville and Burlington. The people who design your bathroom are the people who build it.
Drains, venting, the floor and the walls, with a rough range before we leave.
Tile, vanity, fixtures and glass picked with you, then a price to sign. A permit goes in if needed.
Down to the studs, old pipes replaced, drains and wiring moved, the floor levelled.
Waterproofing installed and sealed, then tile on the floor and walls.
Vanity, toilet, tub or shower fixtures and glass installed, then a walkthrough with you.
“Gracia renovated two bathrooms in our house and did an great job! From the consultation to pick out tile, vanities and hardware to completing the projects on time.”
“It's been nearly six months since the renovation of our kitchen and only bathroom, and we still absolutely love it.”
“Deadlines were met, and the workmanship is flawless.”

Ranges from projects we have built, before HST
New drain lines in a basement, heated floors and moving the toilet add to these ranges.
Bathrooms in lower-city century homes, from Durand to Crown Point, come with their own list.
We plan the order of work so the days without a toilet or shower are as few as possible, and tell you those days in advance.
Galvanized or mixed old piping is common. Replacing it inside the bathroom walls while they are open saves doing it later.
Wet walls get cement board and a waterproofing membrane instead of patched plaster, so tile has something solid behind it.
A century of settling means the floor is levelled before tile, or large tiles will rock and crack.
An exhaust fan sized for the room and ducted outside, not into the attic.
A tub-shower with a niche, a narrower vanity and storage built into the wall make a small room work.
Many newer homes in Stoney Creek, Ancaster, Binbrook and Waterdown have drains already in the basement floor. Building the bathroom on them is the simplest case.
The concrete floor is cut and new drains run to the main stack. If the main drain sits higher than the basement floor, a pump system carries waste up to it.
A basement apartment needs its own bathroom, and Hamilton allows second units in most houses. See basement renovation in Hamilton for what the unit needs.
Rebuilding a bathroom with the drains in place usually needs no permit. A new bathroom, or moving drains and vents, needs a City of Hamilton building permit with plumbing inspections. Hamilton takes the full fee with the application, and we plan for it.
Downtown condos need board approval, elevator bookings and set work hours, and the unit below is the reason waterproofing matters even more. We handle the paperwork.
Yes. We have rebuilt an ensuite in Waterdown, which is part of Hamilton, and we work across the lower city, Westdale, the Mountain, Stoney Creek, Ancaster, Dundas and Binbrook from our Burlington office.
Most bathrooms we build fall in the range in the table above, before HST. Moving the toilet or shower drain, a larger glass shower and a double vanity add to it, while a main bathroom kept in the same layout costs less. We give you a fixed price after a visit.
We plan the work so the days without a toilet or shower are as few as possible and tell you which days in advance. Most bathrooms take two to three weeks in total.
Yes. If there is a rough-in, it is straightforward. If not, we cut the floor and run new drains, and use a pump system if the main drain is higher than the floor.
Not to rebuild a bathroom with the drains in place. A new bathroom or moved drains needs a City of Hamilton permit, and we handle it.
Yes. We get the board's approval, book the elevator and work within the building's hours.
A Schluter membrane on the shower walls and floor, every seam and corner sealed before tile, and glass measured after the tile is finished.
Yes. Four years on our workmanship, plus the manufacturers' warranties on fixtures, vanity and glass.
