renovate me! provides custom bathroom renovations in West Vancouver. From modern spa-inspired ensuites in the British Properties to functional family bathrooms in Ambleside, our team delivers high-quality craftsmanship and thoughtful design tailored to your home. We handle the mess so you don't have to, turning your tired washroom into a daily retreat.
Renovating a bathroom in West Vancouver isn't just about picking out pretty tiles; it’s about understanding the unique character of our neighborhoods and the expectations of the market.
Revitalizing Ambleside & Dundarave Many of the charming seaside homes and condos in Ambleside and Dundarave were built decades ago. While they have incredible character, they often hide outdated plumbing, inefficient layouts, and lackluster insulation. We specialize in taking these spaces down to the studs—updating the "guts" to modern standards while creating a design that maximizes natural light and ocean views.
Luxury in the British Properties & Eagle Harbour For homes in the British Properties, Caulfeild, and Eagle Harbour, "standard" doesn't cut it. We understand that these properties demand high-end finishes that improve resale value. Whether it’s installing a freestanding soaker tub to capture a view or creating a curbless steam shower with heated floors, we deliver the luxury finish expectations required for high-value West Vancouver real estate.
Function Meets Style We believe your bathroom should work as good as it looks. In West Vancouver, where the damp coastal climate is a reality, we prioritize proper ventilation and top-tier waterproofing to ensure your investment lasts a lifetime.
We offer a full suite of bathroom renovation services, handling everything from the initial design sketch to the final towel bar installation.
Full Bathroom Remodels
From "Blah" to Brilliant. Sometimes, a coat of paint isn't enough. Our full remodels involve complete gutting, layout reconfiguration, and systems upgrades. We move walls to expand cramped footprints, reroute plumbing for better flow, and upgrade electrical systems for modern lighting needs. This is perfect for older West Van homes needing a total reset.
Ensuite Renovations
Your Private Sanctuary. Your ensuite should be the first place you go to relax, not just a utility room. We specialize in creating spa-inspired designs featuring:
Small Bathroom Renovations
Small Space, Big Impact. Living in a condo in Sentinel Hill or a townhouse in Horseshoe Bay? We are experts at maximizing efficiency in compact spaces. By using floating vanities to create visual space, large-format tiles to minimize grout lines, and bright lighting plans, we make small bathrooms feel grand.
Luxury Bathroom Upgrades
The Special Ingredients. For those finishing touches that elevate a room, we offer:
This Bathroom’s For the Birds! | Dundarave
From Pink & Green to Beach Chic. This project in Dundarave required taking a tired bathroom down to the studs. We replaced the outdated pink fixtures with a custom walk-in shower built with Schluter-Kerdi waterproofing. The design features a raised panel vanity, metallic bird-motif wallpaper for a touch of whimsy, and faux marble porcelain tile for a timeless, easy-to-clean finish.
When Only The Best Will Do | West Vancouver
Modern Elegance. This renovation showcased a 48” vanity with soft-closing drawers topped with faux Carrara quartz. We removed the bathtub to build a spacious walk-in shower with a barn-door style frameless glass enclosure. The linear mirror finish glass tile backsplash adds a sophisticated sparkle that catches the light beautifully
A Tale of Two Bathrooms | Eagle Harbour
Double the Luxury. This renovation required expanding an existing hallway to create two distinct bathrooms: a luxury ensuite and a full guest bath with laundry. We installed floating vanities, a Jacuzzi soaker tub, and utilized porcelain rainfall tiles for a spa-like vibe.
• Key Feature: Overcoming significant plumbing and HVAC challenges typical of older West Van homes to deliver a seamless result.
