Bathroom renovation in Burlington.

DNU Renovations renovates bathrooms in Burlington, replacing original tub surrounds and dated ensuites with tiled showers built on a sloped floor and a waterproofing membrane I show you before the tile goes on.

A lot of Burlington homes from the 1970s and 1980s still have their original main bath: a tub with a plastic or tiled surround, a vanity from the same decade and a fan that does not really move air. It works, but it is tired, and it is often hiding more than it looks.

We take it back to the studs. My crew handles the plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tile, carpentry and paint, so you have one team from demolition to the last coat of paint. Before any tile goes up, I show you the layers underneath, because that is what decides how long the new bathroom lasts.

Tub surround to tiled shower

Replacing an old surround with a tiled shower means building a proper wet area: a floor sloped to the drain and a membrane on the walls and floor. Tile alone does not keep water out.

Ventilation that actually works

Older fans are often undersized or vent into the attic instead of outside. A new bathroom deserves a fan that pulls the steam out of the house, and it is simple to fix while the walls and ceiling are open.

Split-level plumbing

Burlington has plenty of split-levels and backsplits, where the bathroom may not sit over the rooms you expect. We trace where the drains and supply lines run before planning any changes to the layout.

What the job includes.

Demolition to the studs

Old tile, tubs and drywall out, so we can see what the previous work was hiding.

Plumbing and drains

New supply lines, valves and drains, set for the fixtures you actually chose.

Electrical and ventilation

GFCI circuits, pot lights, vanity lighting and an exhaust fan sized for the room.

Waterproofing

A sloped shower floor and a membrane on the walls and floor of the wet area, sealed at every corner and niche.

Tile

Floors, shower walls, niches and feature walls, set flat and lined up.

Finishing

Vanity, glass, fixtures, trim, paint and hardware, installed and cleaned up.

Before the tile goes up, ask to see

  1. 1The shower floor sloped to the drain
  2. 2The waterproofing membrane on the walls and floor (on my jobs, it is the red layer)
  3. 3The niche sealed like the rest of the wall, because it is a hole cut into your waterproofing

Bathroom renovation in Burlington: common questions

Can you replace my tub and surround with a tiled shower?

Yes. It is one of the most common Burlington jobs. We remove the tub, set the drain for a shower, slope the floor, put a waterproofing membrane on the walls and floor, and then tile. I show you the membrane before it gets covered.

Do I need a permit for a bathroom renovation in Burlington?

Permits in Burlington are issued by the City of Burlington Building and By-law department. Replacing fixtures in the same place usually does not need one; moving drains, adding a bathroom or changing walls usually does. We confirm what your plan needs before work starts.

How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Burlington?

Room size, the amount of tile, whether the plumbing moves and your fixture choices are what move the number. I give you a detailed quote after a free consultation at your home.
