Bathroom Renovations in Burnaby
DESIGNED for comfort & style
Bathroom renovations in Burnaby range from compact ensuite upgrades in Brentwood and Metrotown condo towers to full primary-bath rebuilds in the city's single-family neighbourhoods. We handle design, City of Burnaby permits, custom vanities, tile, and fixtures, and for condo projects we work within strata rules and building access requirements that come with high-rise renovations.
Why Waterproofing and Building Rules Matter in Burnaby Bathroom Renovations
A bathroom is the most demanding room in any home to renovate well, because it is the one space built to live with constant water. In Burnaby, that challenge comes in two very different forms. In the condo towers around Brentwood, Metrotown, and Lougheed, a failed waterproofing job does not just damage your unit, it leaks into the home below, which is why strata bylaws and building codes set strict requirements for membranes, drainage, and plumbing in multi-unit bathrooms. We build to those standards as a baseline, with proper waterproofing and ventilation that protect both your bathroom and the units around it.
In Burnaby's older detached homes, through neighbourhoods like Burnaby Heights and Capitol Hill, the issue is age. Bathrooms in these houses often sit on decades-old plumbing and original subfloors, and once we open the walls we sometimes find moisture damage or mould that was never visible. We address what is behind the surface before installing anything new, so the finished bathroom is sound where it counts, not just where it shows. Every Burnaby bathroom we build, condo or house, runs through the City of Burnaby's permitting and inspection process from start to finish.

QUESTIONS?
faq
-
Most bathroom renovations in Burnaby run between $20,000 and $45,000, with larger primary ensuites and high-end finishes going higher. A condo bathroom update tends to sit at the lower end, while a full rebuild with a custom walk-in shower, new tile, and relocated plumbing costs more. We give you a detailed line-item budget before any work starts so the numbers are clear from the beginning.
-
A typical Burnaby bathroom renovation takes four to six weeks of construction once design and permits are in place. Condo projects can need extra lead time for strata approval and booking building access, while a straightforward single-family bathroom moves faster. We map the schedule out before demolition so you know how long your bathroom will be out of use.
-
Yes, and it is a large part of what we do here. Burnaby has a high concentration of condos around Brentwood, Metrotown, and Lougheed, and condo bathroom renovations come with their own rules: strata approval, restrictions on moving plumbing stacks, waterproofing requirements to protect units below, and scheduled elevator and parkade access for materials. We manage all of it so the renovation meets both the building's requirements and code.
-
Older Burnaby homes and aging condos sometimes hide moisture damage, mould, or dated plumbing once the walls are opened. If we find an issue, we stop, document it, and walk you through the options and cost before continuing, rather than building over a problem. Proper waterproofing and ventilation are then built into the renovation so the issue does not return.
-
Yes. We build curbless walk-in showers, grab-bar reinforcement, comfort-height fixtures, and slip-resistant surfaces for homeowners planning to age in place or accommodate mobility needs. These features can be designed to look clean and modern rather than clinical, so the bathroom works for the long term without feeling like a medical space.
-
A like-for-like cosmetic update usually does not require a permit, but moving plumbing, changing electrical, or altering the layout does, and that permit comes through the City of Burnaby. In a condo you will also need strata approval before starting. We handle the City of Burnaby permitting and coordinate with your strata so everything is properly approved.
