A bathroom renovation is one of the most technically demanding projects in residential construction. Every surface must resist moisture. Plumbing must be precise. Waterproofing must be flawless. And the finished space needs to be both beautiful and functional for years of daily use. Mighton Construction approaches bathroom renovations with the same rigour we bring to our larger projects — because getting the details right is what separates a bathroom that lasts from one that fails.

What We Build

  • Primary ensuites — spacious bathrooms with walk-in showers, freestanding tubs, double vanities, and heated tile floors
  • Main bathrooms — full renovations of shared family bathrooms with durable, practical finishes
  • Powder rooms — compact spaces designed to make an impression
  • Basement bathrooms — new bathrooms added to finished basements, including rough-in plumbing and below-grade drainage
  • Accessible bathrooms — curbless showers, grab bars, comfort-height fixtures, and barrier-free designs for aging in place

Why Waterproofing Matters

The most important part of any bathroom renovation is invisible once the project is complete. Waterproofing membranes, properly sloped shower pans, sealed penetrations, and adequate ventilation protect the structure behind the finishes. We use proven systems like Schluter-KERDI and ensure every joint, corner, and penetration is sealed correctly. Cutting corners on waterproofing leads to mould, rot, and costly repairs — we have seen it in homes we have been called in to fix.

Considerations for South Georgian Bay Homes

Many bathrooms in the Collingwood, Wasaga Beach, and Blue Mountain area were built to cottage standards — small spaces with basic fixtures and inadequate ventilation. Renovating these bathrooms often involves expanding the footprint, upgrading plumbing from older materials, improving ventilation to manage moisture in our humid summers, and insulating exterior walls to prevent condensation in winter.

For homes on well water, we also consider water quality and its impact on fixtures and finishes — hard water, iron, and sediment can affect the longevity of faucets, shower heads, and glass enclosures.

Our process

01

Consultation & Measurement

We visit your home, measure the space, discuss your goals, and review your budget. We identify any plumbing, electrical, or structural considerations that will affect the design.

02

Design & Material Selection

We work with you to select tile, fixtures, vanities, shower systems, and lighting. We provide guidance on what performs well and what delivers the best value.

03

Pre-Construction

Materials are ordered, trades are scheduled, and any required permits are secured. We plan the construction sequence to minimise the time you are without a functioning bathroom.

04

Demolition & Rough-In

The existing bathroom is stripped, plumbing and electrical are relocated as needed, and any structural or subfloor issues are addressed.

05

Waterproofing, Tile & Finishing

Waterproof membranes are applied, tile is set, fixtures are installed, and all finishing details — paint, trim, accessories — are completed to a high standard.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a bathroom renovation cost?
A standard three-piece bathroom renovation starts around $20k. Larger primary ensuites with custom tile showers, freestanding tubs, heated floors, and premium fixtures typically range from $35k–$75k+. We provide a detailed budget before work begins.
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
Most bathroom renovations take 4–8 weeks from demolition to completion, depending on complexity. Custom tile work, shower glass, and specialty fixtures can affect timelines. Material ordering adds 2–6 weeks before construction starts.
Can you make my bathroom accessible?
Yes. We regularly incorporate accessibility features including curbless showers, grab bars, wider doorways, comfort-height toilets, and non-slip flooring. These features can be integrated beautifully into the design without compromising aesthetics.
What is involved in waterproofing a shower?
Proper waterproofing is critical. We use Schluter-KERDI or equivalent membrane systems to create a fully waterproofed shower enclosure before any tile is installed. This prevents moisture from reaching the framing and subfloor — the most common cause of bathroom failures.
Should I renovate my bathroom at the same time as my kitchen?
If both are on your list, doing them together is often more efficient. You benefit from shared mobilisation costs, coordinated scheduling of trades, and a single period of disruption rather than two separate projects.
