Bathroom Renovation in Richmond Hill
A bathroom renovation is one of the highest-impact upgrades you can make to a Richmond Hill home. It improves how the space works every single day, and a well-built bathroom holds its value when it comes time to sell. The flip side is that bathrooms are also one of the trickier rooms to get right, since a small space packs in plumbing, waterproofing, tile, electrical, and ventilation all at once. This page walks through what a renovation involves, what it tends to cost in the area, how long it takes, and what to look for before you hire anyone.
What a Full Bathroom Renovation Includes
“Bathroom renovation” covers everything from a light refresh to a full gut. A cosmetic update might mean a new vanity, toilet, fixtures, paint, and flooring while the layout stays put. A full renovation goes further, stripping the room back to the studs and rebuilding it.
A typical full renovation in Richmond Hill usually involves demolition and removal of the old fixtures, any plumbing and electrical updates, fresh waterproofing, new tile on the floor and shower walls, a new shower or tub, vanity and countertop, toilet, lighting, an exhaust fan, and the final paint and trim. The more of these you change, and the more the layout moves, the bigger the project becomes.

How Long Does a Bathroom Renovation Take?
Most full bathroom renovations take somewhere in the range of two to four weeks of on-site work, though that varies with the scope. Simple updates move faster, while projects that involve layout changes, custom tile, or waiting on back-ordered materials run longer. Part of the timeline is also curing and drying time that cannot be rushed, such as waterproofing and tile setting. A clear schedule and good material planning up front are what keep a project from dragging.
Our Bathroom Renovation Process, Step by Step
A smooth renovation comes down to doing things in the right order. The usual sequence looks like this.
First is the consultation and measurement, where the space is assessed and the scope is agreed on. Next comes design and material selection, choosing the tile, fixtures, vanity, and layout. Then the old bathroom is demolished and cleared. Any plumbing and electrical rough-in happens next, followed by the waterproofing, which is the single most important stage in protecting the room from leaks. After that the tile goes in, then the vanity, toilet, shower glass, and fixtures are installed, and the job finishes with paint, trim, and a final clean and inspection.
Shower Renovation and Tub-to-Shower Conversions
Not every project needs a full gut. A lot of Richmond Hill homeowners focus on the shower, either upgrading a dated, leaky shower or converting an unused tub into a larger walk-in shower. A tub-to-shower conversion is a popular choice for anyone who rarely uses the bath and wants a more open, accessible space, and it is usually quicker and less expensive than a full renovation while still transforming how the bathroom feels.
Faster, Cleaner Showers with a Prefabricated Tiled Shower Base
One of the slowest and messiest parts of a traditional shower build is forming and waterproofing the base on site, which can take several days of work. Canzeno uses a prefabricated tiled shower base that is measured for your bathroom and built in advance, before the on-site work begins. Because that stage is already done when the crew arrives, a part of the job that normally stretches across several days can come together in about a day, with noticeably less dust and disruption in your home.
Custom Shower Niches
Small details are what make a shower feel finished, and a built-in niche is one of them. Canzeno makes prefabricated shower niches that can be produced in the same tile you have chosen for the shower, so the recess blends in rather than standing out. They can also be made in different shapes, including curved and non-rectangular designs, if you want something beyond the standard rectangle.
Small Bathroom Renovation Ideas
Richmond Hill homes include plenty of compact main baths, powder rooms, and ensuites, and small spaces reward smart choices. A few that tend to help: a floating vanity to free up floor space and make the room easier to clean, large-format tile or a single-colour palette to make the space read bigger, a frameless glass shower to keep sightlines open, and good lighting plus a quiet, effective exhaust fan to keep the room bright and dry. A small bathroom done well often feels more considered than a large one done carelessly.
7-9 Day Bathroom Renovation in Richmond Hill
A full bathroom renovation in Richmond Hill with Canzeno is usually completed in about 7 to 9 days, far quicker than a typical remodel. The reason is the same method we use for our shower work: your tiled shower base and niche are built off-site before the job begins, so the slowest, messiest stage never happens inside your home. From tiling and the shower install to fixtures and finishing, the work moves on a short, predictable schedule, with much less dust, noise and disruption to your bathroom. You get a complete, professionally finished bathroom in just over a week, done cleanly and with little downtime.
How to Choose a Bathroom Renovation Contractor in Richmond Hill
The contractor you pick matters more than any single fixture, because the parts you cannot see, the waterproofing and the plumbing, are where corners get cut. Before hiring, look at real examples of completed bathrooms, ask how they handle waterproofing and whether they manage all the trades, and make sure the quote is detailed rather than a single lump sum. A clear scope, a realistic timeline, and straight answers to your questions are good signs. Vague pricing and pressure to decide fast are not.

Plan for about 7 to 9 days for a full renovation with Canzeno, depending on scope. Some of that is unavoidable curing and drying time for waterproofing and tile, which protects the work and cannot be rushed.
A straightforward cosmetic update usually does not, but moving plumbing, changing electrical, or altering the structure often does. The requirements depend on your project and your municipality, and a reputable contractor will flag what is needed before work starts.
Yes. Most bathroom renovations happen while people are living in the home, especially in houses with more than one bathroom. Keeping the site clean and contained day to day makes a big difference, which is one reason a faster, lower-dust shower build helps.
100% waterproof shower base: A sloped base plus a continuous waterproof membrane (sheet or liquid) up the walls and bonded to the drain, then a 24-hour flood test. Tile and grout are not waterproof, the membrane underneath is.
Mosaic vs large-format on the base: Mosaic’s many grout lines follow the slope to the drain and add grip, best for the floor. Large-format looks sleeker with less grout but can’t bend to the slope, so it needs a linear drain.

My family and I were extremely pleased by the work done by Canzeno Bathroom Renovations! The team was very professional and courteous. They were extremely knowledgeable and proficient for our main bathroom renovation. They treated our home with utmost care and kept the areas in our home clean during the renovation work. They always arrived early and stayed until the job was complete to the utmost satisfaction and delight of myself and my family. I would hire Canzeno Bathroom Renovations again in the future and I highly recommend them to anyone who needs expert professional bathroom renovators at a very reasonable price.
Neil DyalGreat job done! Exactly the way we wished for. The design and workmanship is excellent. So hard to find a good contractor. So glad we found you! Highly recommend!
A MThe shower system was probably my favourite part of the whole renovation. I had never seen a shower base prepared like this before. It arrived ready for installation and fit our space perfectly, which made the whole process a lot easier. You can tell Canzeno has put a lot of thought into how the system is made. Really happy with how everything turned out!
parnia RezaeikalantariHonestly, we didn’t expect the renovation to go this smoothly. Masoud was easy to deal with, gave us good ideas, and didn’t try to push us into things we didn’t need. The shower turned out amazing and the whole bathroom feels like a completely different space now. Really happy with the work and would definitely recommend Canzeno.
afsane hosseiniWe recently had our bathroom renovated by Canzeno and had a really good experience overall. Everything went pretty smoothly, and the team was professional and easy to work with. We were especially happy with the custom shower base. It was made for our bathroom and came really well packed, so there were no issues when it arrived. The installation was done neatly, and the team paid attention to the details, especially with the waterproofing and slope. The shower turned out great and we’re really happy with the final result. It feels like good quality work, and we would definitely recommend Canzeno to anyone looking to renovate their bathroom.
M.KWe recently had our bathroom renovated by Canzeno, and we were very impressed with the entire process. What really stood out was their custom tiled shower base. It was built in their workshop specifically for our bathroom and arrived at our home extremely well packed and protected. It honestly felt like receiving a carefully prepared product rather than having everything built from scratch in our bathroom. The installation was very organized, and the team kept the work area clean throughout the renovation. The shower base had the proper slope and everything fit together beautifully with the wall tiles. We love the finished shower and especially appreciate the attention to waterproofing and detail. It looks beautiful now, and we feel confident that it will continue to perform well for many years. We would definitely recommend Canzeno to anyone considering a bathroom renovation.
