Bathroom renovation in Etobicoke.
DNU Renovations renovates bathrooms across Etobicoke, from The Kingsway to Long Branch, making small postwar bathrooms work harder with better layouts, walk-in showers and waterproofing I show you before it is tiled.
Etobicoke is full of postwar bungalows and side-splits, and most of them were built with one modest bathroom. When the whole family shares it, every square foot counts, and the renovation is as much about layout as it is about tile.
My crew handles the plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tile, carpentry and paint, so a small room does not turn into a long job with trades waiting on each other. And before any of it is covered, I show you the drain, the slope and the red membrane that keep the new shower dry.

Small rooms, smart layouts
In a bungalow bathroom, a recessed niche instead of a shelf, a wall-hung vanity or a glass panel instead of a curtain can make the room feel bigger without moving a wall. We work out what fits before anything is ordered.
Tub or shower
If it is the only bathroom in the house, keeping a tub often makes sense for kids or resale. If there is a second bathroom, a walk-in shower may serve you better. We talk it through for your house.
A second bathroom downstairs
Many Etobicoke bungalows have full-height basements, which makes a second bathroom downstairs a practical project. Where the drain runs decides where it can go.
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
- 1The shower floor sloped to the drain
- 2The waterproofing membrane on the walls and floor (on my jobs, it is the red layer)
- 3The niche sealed like the rest of the wall, because it is a hole cut into your waterproofing

Bathroom renovation in Etobicoke: common questions
How do you make a small Etobicoke bathroom feel bigger?
Layout first. A recessed niche, a wall-hung or narrower vanity, frameless glass and larger tile with fewer grout lines all open the room up. I look at the space with you and tell you what will make the biggest difference.
Do I need a permit for a bathroom renovation in Etobicoke?
Etobicoke is part of Toronto, so permits are issued by Toronto Building (Etobicoke York district). Replacing fixtures in the same spot usually does not need one; moving drains or adding a bathroom usually does. We confirm what your plan needs before work starts.
Should I replace my only bathtub with a shower?
If it is the only bathroom in the house and you have young kids, or plan to sell to a family, keeping a tub is usually the safer choice. If there is a tub elsewhere, a walk-in shower is often the better everyday room.
Which parts of Etobicoke do you work in?
