Basement Bathroom Renovations Toronto
Designed for
Below-Grade Conditions.

Updating an existing basement bathroom—new tile, vanity, fixtures, or a shower refresh—often doesn't require a building permit. Permits are more commonly needed when you're adding a brand-new bathroom where no rough-in exists, relocating plumbing, changing drains/vents, or doing structural or significant electrical work. We'll review your exact scope on the first visit and confirm what applies before anything starts

Standard shower doors run 72–76 inches tall and need a minimum 75-inch finished ceiling height. Sliding glass doors with a gliding top rod require a minimum 78-inch clear opening. We measure your actual basement clearance during consultation and recommend what genuinely works in your space.

Concrete slabs release moisture continuously. Lumber in direct contact absorbs it and rots over time. Without a vapour barrier and pressure-treated bottom plate, mold grows inside the wall cavity silently — only becoming visible years later when the damage is already substantial. We install this as standard on every basement framing job.

Yes. New basement bathroom additions require cutting the concrete slab to access the drain stack, completing a below-slab rough-in, and installing drain lines at the correct slope. Our licensed plumber handles the full scope in-house. We'll assess the existing layout and walk you through the complete scope before any commitment.
