Total Renovations is a licensed general contractor delivering complete bathroom remodeling services since 2011. We specialize in everything from focused bathroom makeovers to full bathroom remodels and luxury ensuite renovations, while managing permits, licensed trades, inspections, and finishing from first consultation through handover.

A successful bathroom renovation requires more than attractive finishes. Correct waterproofing, moisture-resistant substrates, ventilation, plumbing, electrical safety, and precise tile installation protect the room from mould, leaks, damaged subfloors, and premature material failure.

Whether you need practical bathroom upgrades or a complete custom remodel, Total Renovations applies the same standard to every project: detailed planning, transparent fixed-price quotes, licensed trades, durable materials, clear communication, and workmanship backed by warranty.

After required inspections, we complete a thorough clean, detailed walkthrough, final deficiency check, and warranty handover. We follow up after completion to ensure everything performs as expected.
Best Bathroom Remodeling Ideas for Modern Homes

The best bathroom remodeling ideas balance visual appeal, daily comfort, storage, accessibility, moisture control, and long-term durability. Here are the features our bathroom renovation experts recommend most often:

Walk-in rainfall showers replacing outdated tub-shower combinations for easier access and a more open layout
Heated tile floors that add everyday comfort and help surfaces dry more efficiently
Large-format porcelain tile (600×1200mm) — fewer grout lines, easier maintenance, and a modern look that photographs beautifully
Frameless glass shower enclosures that make compact bathrooms feel brighter, cleaner, and more spacious
Floating vanities with integrated LED mirrors that improve storage, lighting, and the sense of floor space
Moisture-resistant wall systems and cement-board substrates that help prevent mould and material failure
HRV-compliant exhaust fans — BC Building Code requires proper ventilation, and it protects your bathroom investment
Freestanding soaker tubs in larger ensuite renovations for relaxation, comfort, and a premium focal point
Why Bathrooms Need Specialist Contractors

Bathrooms concentrate water, steam, electrical fixtures, plumbing connections, tile assemblies, and ventilation in a compact area. When waterproofing or rough-in work is incorrect, hidden leaks and moisture can damage framing, insulation, subfloors, ceilings, and adjacent rooms.

Failed renovations commonly involve incomplete waterproofing membranes, unsuitable substrates, poorly sloped shower floors, undersized exhaust fans, unlicensed electrical work, or plumbing changes completed without approvals. Correcting these failures often costs far more than building the bathroom properly from the start.

Our bathroom renovation contractors coordinate the complete system, not only the visible finishes. That means the structure behind the tile is designed, installed, inspected, and documented to support a beautiful bathroom for years to come.

Permits & BC Building Code — What Bathroom Remodeling May Require
Meaningful bathroom renovations may require building, plumbing, and electrical approvals depending on the scope and municipality. We identify the applicable requirements, prepare documentation, coordinate licensed trades, and manage inspections on your behalf. Your project may include:
Building Permit
Required for any structural changes to your bathroom — moving walls, enlarging the space, adding a new bathroom, or converting a closet to a powder room.
Electrical Permit (Technical Safety BC)
Required for new circuits, GFCI outlets near water sources, exhaust fan wiring, heated floor systems, and updated lighting in every bathroom remodel.
Waterproofing Standards
The BC Building Code requires shower and wet area waterproofing to extend minimum 150mm onto adjacent surfaces. We use full membrane systems on every bathroom renovation.
Accessible Design (Where Required)
For accessible bathroom upgrades meeting BC Building Code, minimum clear floor space, grab bar blocking, and threshold requirements must be met. We handle all compliance.
Plumbing Permit
Required when relocating drains, adding tubs, showers, sinks, or toilets, changing supply lines, or creating a new bathroom as part of the renovation.
Ventilation Requirements
Bathrooms require properly sized mechanical exhaust ventilation. Correct fan selection, duct routing, exterior termination, and controls help remove moisture and prevent mould.
GFCI & Electrical Safety
Electrical outlets near water sources require GFCI protection. Lighting, heated floors, exhaust fans, switches, and new circuits are completed by licensed electrical professionals.
Pre-Construction Assessment
Before demolition, we assess existing plumbing, ventilation, electrical capacity, wall conditions, subfloor integrity, moisture damage, and access constraints so the project scope is accurate from the beginning.
