General Contractor in Burnaby, BC

Bathroom Renovations in Burnaby

Burnaby is one of our busiest service areas, and for good reason: the city's mix of 1960s ranchers in Capitol Hill and Burnaby Heights, split-levels near Deer Lake, and newer towers in Metrotown and Brentwood means almost every bathroom we see needs a different approach. Old To New is a fully insured general contractor handling the complete renovation: layout, permits, plumbing, waterproofing, tile, heated floors, vanities and glass. Free quotes on every project, with most Burnaby bathrooms landing between $15,000 and $50,000 and up.

What Burnaby's housing stock means for your bathroom

The ranchers and split-levels that fill Capitol Hill, Burnaby Heights and the streets around Deer Lake were mostly built between the 1950s and 1970s, and their bathrooms show it: 5-foot tubs against three walls, a single 15-amp circuit shared with the hallway, copper or even galvanized supply lines, and mortar-bed tile that cracks as the house settles. When we renovate these bathrooms we replace supply lines back to accessible points, add a dedicated circuit for heated floors or bidet seats, and rebuild the wet areas with modern membrane waterproofing. In Edmonds and Metrotown condos the challenge flips: concrete construction, strata rules and tight plumbing chases. We work confidently in both.

Ensuite additions and tub-to-shower conversions in Burnaby

Two projects dominate our Burnaby work. The first is the tub-to-shower conversion: pulling a dated tub out of a Burnaby Heights rancher and building a tiled walk-in shower with a bench, niche and frameless glass. The second is carving a proper ensuite out of an oversized primary bedroom or an adjacent closet, which many Deer Lake and Capitol Hill homes have room for. Ensuite additions involve new plumbing runs and often a joist penetration or two, so City of Burnaby permits and inspections apply, and we manage them start to finish. Both projects add daily comfort and make an older Burnaby home live like a newer one.

Our process for Burnaby bathroom renovations

Every Burnaby project starts with a free on-site visit, whether that is a rancher on Capitol Hill or a Brentwood tower suite. We measure, discuss layout options and flag anything behind the walls we should plan for, then deliver a written quote broken into clear line items. Once you approve, we order materials before demolition starts so the site never sits idle waiting on tile. Demolition, rough-in plumbing and electrical, inspections, waterproofing, tile, fixtures and glass follow in a tight sequence, with one project lead as your single point of contact. Most Burnaby bathrooms take three to five weeks on site, and we confirm the schedule in writing before we begin.

FAQ

Bathroom Renovations Questions in Burnaby

Can you renovate the original bathroom in my 1960s Burnaby rancher?

Yes, these are our most common Burnaby projects. We plan for the era's usual issues, including old supply lines, minimal electrical capacity and mortar-bed tile, and we price those upgrades into the quote rather than surprising you mid-job.

Do you work in Metrotown and Brentwood high-rise condos?

We do. We handle the strata paperwork, insurance requirements, elevator bookings and work-hour restrictions, and we coordinate water shutoffs with building management so neighbours are notified properly.

What does a bathroom renovation cost in Burnaby?

Most full renovations run $15,000 to $50,000 and up depending on size, layout changes and finishes. A straightforward same-layout refresh sits at the lower end, while ensuite additions and custom tile showers sit higher. Quotes are free and itemized.

Will adding an ensuite in my Burnaby home need a permit?

Almost always, because new plumbing and electrical are involved. City of Burnaby permits and inspections are part of the process, and we prepare the application and meet the inspectors ourselves.
