Why GTA Homeowners Choose Rhino For Their Bathroom Renovation
A bathroom renovation is one of the most technically demanding interior projects in any home. You are working in a small, moisture-heavy space where plumbing, electrical, waterproofing and tile work all have to come together perfectly — in exactly the right sequence. One mistake in the waterproofing membrane behind your shower tiles can mean water damage inside your walls for years before you even notice it.
At Rhino The Renovators, we approach every bathroom renovation with the same precision we apply to our outdoor construction work. Every shower and tub surround receives a full waterproof membrane installation before a single tile goes up. All plumbing and electrical work is completed by licensed trades to Ontario Building Code standards. And every tile installation is laid on a properly prepared substrate with the correct grout and silicone sealing throughout.
Whether you need a complete washroom gut and rebuild, a walk-in shower conversion, a new vanity and flooring or a full ensuite transformation, our interior renovation team handles everything under one contract. Bathroom renovations are a core part of our winter service offering — when our outdoor crews wrap up for the season, our interior team is fully focused and available to deliver your project from November through March.
Our Bathroom Renovation Services
Full-scope washroom remodeling for GTA homeowners — from a fresh tile and vanity upgrade to a complete ground-up rebuild
Full Bathroom Gut & Rebuild
A complete washroom transformation starting from bare walls and subfloor. We handle full demolition, waterproof membrane installation, updated plumbing and electrical rough-ins, new drywall, full tile installation on floors and walls, vanity and fixture installation and final painting. The right choice for bathrooms with outdated layouts, water damage or plumbing that no longer meets code. Best For: Older homes with original bathrooms, full layout changes and washrooms with existing water damage or mold.
Walk-In Shower Conversion & Tile Installation
We convert outdated tub-shower combinations into modern walk-in showers with full waterproof membrane systems, large-format porcelain or ceramic tile, built-in niches, glass enclosures and linear or centre drains. Every shower we build is completely waterproofed behind the tile — not just on the surface — to prevent water infiltration into your walls and subfloor. Best For: Homeowners replacing old tub-shower combos with a modern walk-in shower and upgrading their master ensuite.
Bathroom Tile & Floor Installation
We supply and install ceramic, porcelain and natural stone tile for bathroom floors, shower surrounds, tub decks and feature walls. Our tile work includes precision layout planning, proper waterproof substrate preparation, tight consistent grout joints and full silicone sealing at all movement joints. We also install heated floor systems under tile for added comfort in Ontario winters. Best For: Standalone tile and floor upgrades as part of a partial bathroom refresh or full renovation finish.
Vanity, Fixture & Accessory Installation
We supply and install freestanding and wall-mounted vanities, medicine cabinets, mirrors, towel bars, toilet replacements, faucets and shower fixtures. All plumbing connections are made by licensed trades and tested before the project is signed off. Whether you are refreshing an existing bathroom or finishing a full renovation, we handle every fixture from supply to final installation. Best For: Homeowners upgrading fixtures and vanities without a full gut renovation or as the finishing stage of a complete remodel.
Our Proven 4-Step Bathroom Renovation Process
A successful bathroom renovation depends on getting the sequence right — waterproofing before tile, rough-ins before drywall. Here is exactly how we manage every project from first visit to final handover.
Step 1: On-Site Consultation & Design Planning
We visit your GTA home, assess your existing bathroom layout, plumbing and electrical positions and discuss your vision, tile selections, fixture preferences and budget. We provide a fully itemized written quote covering every trade and material involved — no vague estimates and no surprise costs mid-project.
Demolition, Waterproofing & Rough-Ins
We begin with clean, efficient demolition and remove all existing tile, fixtures, drywall and flooring as required. Before any new material goes in, we install a full waterproof membrane system in all wet areas — showers, tub surrounds and bathroom floors. All plumbing relocations and electrical upgrades are completed at this stage to Ontario Building Code standards.
Step 3: Tile, Drywall & Fixture Installation
With waterproofing and rough-ins complete, we install new drywall, prime and begin the visible transformation. Floor tile goes in first, followed by wall and shower tile, then vanity installation, plumbing fixture connections and any glass enclosure work. Every element is installed in the correct sequence to ensure a seamless, professional finish throughout.
Step 4: Final Fixtures, Paint, Grout Sealing & Cleanup
We install all final accessories, mirrors, towel bars and lighting fixtures. Grout is sealed throughout and all silicone joints are finished cleanly at every transition. The bathroom receives a full coat of moisture-resistant paint and we complete a thorough site cleanup before your final walkthrough. You receive a fully finished, move-in ready bathroom.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bathroom Renovations
Q: How long does a full bathroom renovation take in the GTA?
- A: A complete bathroom gut and rebuild typically takes 2 to 3 weeks depending on the scope of work, tile selections and fixture lead times. A partial renovation such as a new shower tile installation and vanity replacement can often be completed in 1 week. We provide a realistic timeline in your written quote before any work begins.
Q: Do I need a permit for a bathroom renovation in Ontario?
- A: A permit is required in Ontario when you are relocating plumbing drain lines or moving the position of a toilet, sink or shower. Cosmetic renovations such as tile replacement, vanity swaps and fixture upgrades typically do not require a permit. We assess your specific project and handle any required permits as part of our service.
Q: What is the most important part of a bathroom renovation?
- A: Waterproofing — without question. The tile and fixtures are what you see every day, but the waterproof membrane behind your shower walls and under your bathroom floor is what determines whether your renovation lasts 5 years or 25 years. We never skip or cut corners on waterproofing regardless of the project size or budget.
Q: What tile do you recommend for bathroom floors and showers?
- A: Porcelain tile is our top recommendation for both bathroom floors and shower walls. It is denser than ceramic, fully waterproof, highly resistant to staining and available in a huge range of sizes and finishes including large-format slabs that reduce grout lines. For shower floors we recommend smaller mosaic or textured tiles for better slip resistance and water drainage.
Q: Can you install heated floors in a bathroom?
- A: Yes. We install electric radiant heat systems under tile as part of any bathroom renovation. The heating element goes in after the waterproof membrane and before the tile, adding very little to the overall project timeline. Heated bathroom floors are one of the most popular upgrades our GTA clients add — especially for master ensuite renovations.
Q: What is the best time of year to book a bathroom renovation?
- A: Our interior renovation crews are most available from November through March when our outdoor summer work wraps up. This is the ideal time to book your bathroom renovation — dedicated crews, faster scheduling and our full attention on your project through the winter months. We recommend booking in October to secure your preferred winter start date.
