Serving West Vancouver & North Shore Communities

We work exclusively on Vancouver's North Shore. That means we know these homes — their construction era, their quirks, and the local standards that matter.

West Vancouver: From waterfront homes in Ambleside and Dundarave to hillside estates in the British Properties and Caulfeild, we've renovated bathrooms at every elevation and price point in West Vancouver. We understand the seismic considerations, municipal permit requirements, and the design sensibility that suits the area.

North Vancouver: From condos in Lower Lonsdale and Lynn Valley townhomes to family homes in Edgemont Village and Deep Cove, we bring the same craftsmanship and design care to every North Vancouver bathroom project.

We don't subcontract our design work to someone who's never been on the North Shore. Our team lives and works here — that local knowledge saves you time, prevents permit surprises, and results in a bathroom that's built to last in the coastal climate.

How Much Does a Bathroom Renovation Cost in West Vancouver?

Bathroom renovation costs in West Vancouver and North Vancouver typically range as follows:
Scope Estimated Range
Cosmetic refresh (fixtures, vanity, paint) $8,000 – $15,000
Mid-range full renovation (3-piece or 4-piece) $20,000 – $35,000
Complete en suite remodel with custom finishes $35,000 – $60,000+
Master bathroom with spa features $50,000 – $100,000+

 

Several factors affect your final cost: the size of the bathroom, whether plumbing or electrical needs to be relocated, your choice of materials, and whether a permit is required. We always recommend budgeting a 10–15% contingency for any unforeseen conditions — older West Vancouver homes in particular can reveal water damage, asbestos, or structural surprises once walls are opened.

Every project starts with a complimentary, no-obligation site visit where we give you a clear, written estimate covering all labour, materials, fixtures, and subtrades. No surprises.

Our Bathroom Renovation Process

We've refined our process over decades of North Shore renovations to make it as smooth as possible for you.

  1. Complimentary Site Visit We come to your home, review your existing bathroom, discuss your goals and budget, and identify any permit or structural considerations specific to your property.
  2. Preliminary Design & Written Estimate You receive a clear, itemised scope of work — labour, materials, fixtures, and subtrades — so you know exactly what you're committing to.
  3. Design & Material Selection (We Come to You) Our design team brings curated tile, vanity, countertop, fixture, and lighting samples directly to your home. You choose materials in your own lighting, alongside your existing finishes — no pressure showroom visits.
  4. Permit Support For plumbing changes, layout modifications, or structural work, we manage City and Strata approvals. We know the West Vancouver and North Vancouver permit process well.
  5. Construction We protect your floors, install dust barriers, and keep daily cleanup a standard part of the job. Our crews are respectful of your home and your schedule.
  6. Installation & Craftsmanship Waterproofing, tiling, plumbing, electrical, cabinetry, fixtures, and all finishing details are completed to our quality standards — which are backed by a 24-month labour warranty.
  7. Final Walkthrough We walk through your new bathroom together, demonstrate features, and don't consider the job done until you're satisfied

Frequently Asked Questions About Bathroom Renovations in West Vancouver

What does a bathroom renovation in West Vancouver typically cost? A mid-range full bathroom renovation in West Vancouver typically costs between $20,000 and $35,000, depending on size, scope, and finish level. Custom en suites with spa features can reach $60,000–$100,000+. We provide a free, written estimate after our complimentary site visit.

How long does a bathroom renovation take? Most bathroom renovations in West Vancouver and North Vancouver take 3–6 weeks from construction start, depending on scope. Projects requiring permits add 2–4 weeks to the overall timeline. We provide a clear schedule upfront and keep to it.

Do I need a permit for a bathroom renovation on the North Shore? Permits are required for any work involving plumbing relocation, electrical changes, or structural modifications. Cosmetic updates (new vanity, tile, fixtures in the same location) typically do not require a permit. We assess permit requirements during our initial site visit and handle the application process with the City of West Vancouver or District of North Vancouver on your behalf.

What is the best shower option for an aging-in-place bathroom renovation? Curbless walk-in showers with non-slip tile, a linear drain, grab bars, and a built-in bench are the best choice for accessibility and aging in place. We've completed many of these across West Vancouver's British Properties and North Vancouver for homeowners planning their "forever home" bathroom.

How do you protect against water damage and mould in a bathroom renovation? We use Schluter-Kerdi as a waterproofing membrane in all shower and wet area construction, and Schluter-Ditra as an anti-fracture and waterproofing floor membrane before tiling. These protect against water penetration and mould, and limit tile cracking from subfloor movement — important in older West Vancouver and North Vancouver homes.

What vanity options do you offer? We offer standard off-the-shelf vanities for budget-conscious renovations, and semi-custom or fully custom vanities for projects requiring specific dimensions, finishes, or storage configurations. Our design team helps you choose based on your bathroom layout, storage needs, and style preferences.

Can you renovate a small bathroom in a North Vancouver condo? Yes — small bathroom and condo bathroom renovations are one of our specialties. Floating vanities, frameless mirrors, large-format tile, and a monochromatic palette are among our most effective strategies for making compact North Vancouver bathrooms feel larger and more functional.
