Ontario bathroom renovations span an enormous cost range. Here is a clear breakdown of what each budget tier actually delivers in 2026.

**Basic Update: $8,000-$15,000**  
Replace vanity, toilet, light fixtures, mirror, exhaust fan. Paint. No tile or layout changes. Best ROI for resale — buyers notice the update without major cost. Common in investment properties and pre-sale prep.

**Mid-Range Full Reno: $15,000-$30,000**  
Full tile replacement (floor + shower surround), new tub or walk-in shower conversion, new vanity and plumbing fixtures, updated lighting and exhaust fan. Minor tweaks (same plumbing wall). The most common complete bathroom reno range for GTA homes.

**High-End: $30,000-$70,000+**  
Full gut to studs, layout changes, heated floors, custom tile, steam shower, double vanity, freestanding tub. Premium fixtures, in-ceiling speakers, custom niche work.

**Key Cost Drivers**  
Layout changes moving plumbing: +$3,000-$10,000. Heated floors: +$800-$2,500. Custom tile vs standard: $25-$80/sq ft installed vs $8-$20. Permit fees: $500-$1,500.

**Permits**  
Plumbing relocation requires a permit in all Ontario municipalities. Like-for-like replacement does not. Always pull permits — unpermitted plumbing is flagged on home inspections.
