Home / Bathroom renovation
Full bathroom builds from a tile setter. Showers, tubs, vanities, floors and heated floors, finished the way good tile deserves.
What's included
Most bathrooms we take on are simply dated. The tile is from another era, the layout wastes half the room, or the finish has stopped doing the space any favours. We strip it back and rebuild the room around new tile.
Tile is our trade, so that is where the design starts: the format, the layout, where the cuts land, how the shower reads when you open the door. Everything else is built to suit it.
You get a written price before anything starts, and that is the price you pay. Anything we find once the walls are open gets shown to you before we touch it.
Gallery
One wet area with the shower and the tub sharing it, no curb to step over. Ribbed tile on the walls, a long niche cut into it, and the floor sloped to a linear drain so the whole room drains without a lip.
Glossy teal tile stacked rather than offset, with the niche lined in the same tile and the cuts kept off the corners.
A tub shower in plain white subway with black trim and black glass. Simple tile, so the layout and the joints are the whole job.
Brick-format tile with a handmade face, and two niches cut into the wall and lined in a dark tile so they read as openings rather than boxes.
Fishscale tile in terracotta and olive, behind a black sliding door. Scalloped tile has no straight edge to cut to, so every row gets set off a line rather than off the one below.
Marble-look slab on the walls and the floor, black-framed glass, and a walnut column to break it up. Big sheets like this get laid out on paper first so the veining lands where you want it.
Picket mosaic taken all the way up, no border and no accent row. Mosaic sheets have to be fed so the pattern never repeats a seam, or you see the grid from across the room.
A fluted wall carried floor to ceiling behind the vanity, with the brass tap set straight into it.
A ribbed surround around a tub shower with brass trim, and the ribs lined up through the corner so they read as one surface.
Slab with heavy blue veining, matched across the corner, under a curved ceiling tiled in a narrow white tile.
Glossy olive tile and a black-framed door. Dark glossy tile shows everything, so the walls get checked before anything goes on them.
A niche cut straight into a large-format wall and lined in the same tile, so the opening has no frame around it.
A bench framed into the corner, waterproofed with the rest of the wet area, and tiled top, front and sides so water runs off it.

How we do it
I
We measure the room, check what the floor and walls are sitting on, and give you a written price. Free, and it holds.
II
Old tile, tub, vanity, all of it gone. Floors and the path to the door get covered before anything moves.
III
Anything out of plumb gets fixed, blocking goes in where the bench, niche and grab bars are going, and the floor gets levelled. Most bad tile jobs are actually lost right here.
IV
Backer board, then a bonded membrane over the whole wet area. Inside corners, outside corners, the curb and the drain flange. We flood-test the pan before tile goes near it.
V
We set the layout off the wall you see when you open the door, so full tiles land where your eye goes and the cuts end up in the corners.
VI
Tile set and cleaned as we go, grout the next day, silicone at every change of plane, then a final wash.
VII
Garbage out, floors uncovered, and we walk the room with you before we leave.
What changes the price
We do not price bathrooms over the phone. It takes ten minutes to come look and then you have a real number instead of a guess.
FAQ
Most full bathrooms run two to three weeks from tear-out to finished, depending on size and whether the plumbing moves. You get the schedule with the quote.
That one, yes. If it is the only bathroom in the house we will say so up front and sequence the work to keep the downtime as short as we can.
The tile and the build are ours, start to finish. Plumbing and electrical go to licensed trades because in Québec that work has to be done by one, and we schedule them around our own so nobody is waiting on anybody.
Either way works. Plenty of people want to pick it themselves and we will meet you at the supplier and tell you which ones are a headache to install and which are not.
Yes. It depends on the joists and how much room there is to drop the floor, which is one of the things we check when we come look.
Yes. The licence number is in the footer of every page, and we are happy to send the paperwork before you commit to anything.
Yes. We are based on the Québec side and cross the river regularly.
