Bathroom renovation in Oakville.

DNU Renovations builds high-end bathrooms in Oakville, from primary ensuites with freestanding tubs to curbless showers in slab tile, with one crew handling every trade from the drains to the final finish.

Oakville bathrooms tend to be big. In Glen Abbey, River Oaks and Joshua Creek, a primary ensuite often has room for a double vanity, a freestanding tub and a separate walk-in shower, and that is the kind of room people want to get right.

A bigger bathroom means a bigger wet area, and that is where the work behind the tile matters most. My crew does the plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tile and finishing, and I show you each layer before it gets covered: the floor sloped to the drain, the red membrane over the walls and floor, the niche sealed like the rest of the wall.

Curbless showers are planned at the floor

A shower with no curb needs the floor recessed and sloped so water runs to the drain instead of across the room. That decision is made at the framing stage, not when the tile arrives, so we look at your floor structure first.

Heated floors and lighting, planned early

Heated floors, pot lights, vanity sconces and a properly sized fan all need wiring before the walls close. In a large ensuite, we lay out the electrical with the design, not after it.

Slab tile and large formats

Large-format and slab tile look best in big rooms, and they are unforgiving. The walls and floor have to be flat and the layout planned so the seams and veins line up where you will see them.

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 Oakville: common questions

Can you build a curbless shower in my Oakville ensuite?

In most cases, yes. The floor has to be recessed and sloped to the drain so water stays in the shower, which depends on how your floor is framed. I look at it during the consultation and tell you what it takes before you commit to the design.

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

Permits in Oakville are issued by Town of Oakville Building Services. Replacing fixtures in the same place usually does not need one; moving drains, adding a bathroom or changing walls usually does. If your home is in one of Oakville's heritage districts, we check that too. We confirm what applies before work starts.

How much does a luxury bathroom renovation cost in Oakville?

Size, tile, fixtures and whether the plumbing moves drive the price, and in a large ensuite the wet area is usually the biggest share because it takes the most labour. I quote after seeing the room, so you get a number for your bathroom, not a range from the internet.

Which parts of Oakville do you work in?

All of it, including Old Oakville, Glen Abbey, Bronte, River Oaks, Joshua Creek, Clearview, Eastlake and Morrison.

Can I finance a bathroom renovation?

Yes. We offer monthly payment plans through our lending partner, on approved credit: pre-approval in minutes without affecting your credit score, no down payment, flexible terms and no early repayment penalties.

If you can dream it, we can build it.
