Why Ottawa homeowners choose Bytown for a full renovation
A complete renovation is the largest bathroom decision most people make once. These are the things worth checking before you sign with anyone.
A complete bathroom renovation is quoted to the written scope after an in-home visit. The starting figure reflects a full room; your number depends on layout changes, plumbing movement and selections. See the Ottawa bathroom remodeling cost guide for the detail behind it.
Complete renovation, or just the tub and shower?
Most Ottawa homeowners asking for a “full bathroom” only need the wet area replaced. This is the honest difference, so you can decide before anyone quotes you.
| Complete bathroom renovation | Tub or shower only | |
|---|---|---|
| Demolition | Back to the studs across the whole room | Wet area only |
| New waterproofing behind the walls | Yes | Yes |
| Plumbing | Rough-in moved if the layout changes | Like-for-like connections |
| Vanity, toilet, flooring, lighting, ventilation | Included | Not included |
| Ottawa price, 2026 | From $20,000 CAD | $13,000 to $15,000 CAD |
| Time on site | About a week | 1 to 3 days |
If the vanity, floor and toilet are sound and the problem is the tub or shower, the smaller job is the right one. We will say so at the in-home visit rather than quote you the larger scope.
Permits and inspections in Ottawa
The short answer: a complete bathroom renovation in Ottawa almost always needs a City building permit, because the City requires one once the work involves installation, erection, extension, material alteration or repair. A new layout, an opened wall, a structural change or moved plumbing all qualify.
Electrical is separate and does not go to the City. New circuits, a moved exhaust fan or added lighting are notified to the Electrical Safety Authority.
The permit conversation is part of our written scope, not an afterthought. Full rules, 2026 fees and the ESA path are in our Ottawa bathroom permit guide.
How the design and the quote actually work
There is no separate design fee and no showroom appointment to book first. The design happens at your in-home visit, and it is free.
- In-home visit and measurements. We measure the room, look at what is behind the existing tub or shower where we can, and ask how the bathroom is used day to day. This is where a smaller job gets recommended if that is the honest answer.
- Selections. Tile, vanity, toilet, fixtures and the tub or shower system. You choose from what we install and service, so parts stay available in Canada afterwards.
- A fixed written quote. Itemized, with what is included and what is not written down before anything starts. The price does not move unless you change the scope or we find something structural behind the wall, and we show you that before we carry on.
- Schedule and build. A complete bathroom renovation is about a week on site, from $20,000 CAD. If only the tub or shower is changing, that is $13,000 to $15,000 CAD and 1 to 3 days.
Bathrooms are the only room we do, so the same crew that quoted your bathroom is the crew that builds it. Rated 4.8 on Google. Call (613) 746-8055 or book a free in-home estimate.
