Bathroom Renovations Built for Uxbridge Homes

Uxbridge has a character all its own. The century homes and older properties around the historic downtown often have small original bathrooms, dated layouts, and older plumbing that needs attention when the walls come open. These are exactly the spaces that reward careful work — modernizing the function without losing the home's character.

Across the township's rural and estate properties, bathrooms tend to be larger, and homeowners often want a true spa-style ensuite — a custom walk-in shower, a freestanding tub, heated floors. Many of these homes are also on well water, which is worth planning around when it comes to fixtures and finishes.

Whichever Uxbridge home you've got, the engineering underneath is what protects it — and that never changes with budget. Every bathroom we build gets the same Schluter waterproofing system and a mandatory 24-hour flood test before a single tile goes in.

Planning a basement rental or in-law suite as well? Many Uxbridge homeowners add a bathroom as part of a legal basement apartment in Uxbridge — built to the township's ADU rules and the same waterproofing standard.

Common Questions

Uxbridge Bathroom Renovation FAQ

I have a century home near downtown Uxbridge — can you handle the old plumbing?
Yes — it's common in Uxbridge's historic core. Older homes often have galvanized or cast-iron supply and drain lines that are corroding or undersized. We assess what's behind the walls during planning and build any plumbing replacement into the scope and fixed price up front, so there's no surprise when we open the wall — and we modernize the function while respecting the home's character.
My home is on well water — does that affect the bathroom?
It can. Well water is often harder and can affect fixture choice and finish longevity. We take it into account when specifying valves and fixtures, and we can coordinate around water treatment so your new bathroom performs and looks its best for the long run. We'll flag anything relevant during the site visit.
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
Most bathroom renovations run 2 to 4 weeks depending on scope — a focused refresh is 1 to 2 weeks, a full estate ensuite with custom tile and Schluter waterproofing runs 3 to 5 weeks. Before any work begins you get a written schedule with a committed start and end date, backed by a $300 per day penalty if we miss it.
What does a bathroom renovation cost in Uxbridge?
A focused refresh runs $12,000–$25,000, a full renovation $20,000–$40,000, and a high-end ensuite build $25,000–$80,000+. Your investment depends on the size of the space, your fixtures, the tile scope, and whether we're moving plumbing or electrical. You get a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
Do you pull permits?
Yes. Any work involving plumbing, electrical, or structural changes requires a permit in Ontario, and we pull and manage all permits with the Township of Uxbridge so the work is inspected and done to code. Contractors who skip permits create a liability that sits on your property title and can void your home insurance.
