Bathroom Renovations in Richmond

Bathroom Renovations in Richmond

From Steveston townhomes to City Centre towers and family houses in Broadmoor and Seafair, Old To New delivers complete bathroom renovations across Richmond. We are a fully insured general contractor based in nearby Surrey, and we handle everything: design guidance, permits, plumbing, waterproofing, tile, vanities and glass. Bathrooms are the most moisture-stressed room in any Richmond home, so we build them to stay dry. Quotes are free, and most projects fall between $15,000 and $50,000 and up.

Why moisture control matters more in Richmond bathrooms

Richmond sits on low-lying ground with high humidity for much of the year, and bathrooms feel that first. We routinely see failed caulking, swollen vanity kickplates and tile grout that never quite dries in homes across Hamilton and Seafair. Our answer is to treat every renovation as a moisture project: full membrane waterproofing in wet zones, properly sloped shower pans, sealed penetrations and a correctly sized exhaust fan vented to the exterior rather than into the attic. We also favour materials that shrug off damp, such as porcelain tile and moisture-resistant board. The result is a bathroom that looks new years later, not just on handover day.

Strata condo bathrooms in City Centre and beyond

A large portion of Richmond's housing is strata, from City Centre high-rises to Steveston low-rises. Renovating a bathroom in these buildings means working within bylaws that govern noise hours, contractor insurance, plumbing shutoffs and flooring changes. We coordinate the shutoff windows with your building manager, provide the insurance documentation stratas require, and schedule demolition inside permitted hours. Because a plumbing mistake in a strata building can affect suites below, we pressure-test supply connections and document the waterproofing stages with photos before anything is tiled over. Owners get a clean, quiet, well-run project and a paper trail their strata appreciates.

Tub-to-shower conversions for Richmond families

Many Broadmoor and Seafair homes built in the 1970s and 1980s still have their original tub and tile surrounds. The most popular upgrade we do in Richmond is converting that tub into a spacious walk-in shower with custom tile, a glass panel and a built-in bench or niche. It suits busy households and works beautifully for multigenerational homes, which are common in Richmond, because a low-threshold shower is safer for older family members. Where plumbing moves or electrical is added, City of Richmond permits apply and we manage the process. Heated floors are a favourite add-on, taking the chill off tile through damp winters.

Bathroom Renovations Questions in Richmond

Do you handle strata approval for bathroom renovations in Richmond condos?
Yes. We supply the insurance certificates, scope of work and scheduling plan your strata requires, and we arrange water shutoffs with the building manager. It is a routine part of our condo projects in City Centre and Steveston.
My Richmond bathroom always feels damp. Can a renovation actually fix that?
Usually, yes. Most persistent dampness comes from an undersized or badly vented exhaust fan combined with failing seals. We correct the ventilation, waterproof the wet areas properly and use moisture-tolerant materials so the room can finally dry out.
Is a permit needed for a tub-to-shower conversion in Richmond?
If the drain moves or electrical work is added, City of Richmond permits are generally required. We confirm the requirements for your specific scope and take care of the applications and inspections.
Can you renovate two bathrooms in a Richmond house at the same time?
Yes, and it is often more economical because trades mobilize once. We stage the work so one functioning bathroom remains available whenever the layout allows.
