$15,000 to $75,000+ depending on scope and finish level. A cosmetic refresh with no plumbing changes runs $15K–$25K. A full gut and rebuild with new waterproofing, tile, glass, and fixtures typically costs $25K–$45K. A premium bathroom with heated floors, frameless glass, and stone tile runs $45K–$75K. Luxury primary baths start at $75K. These are 2026 GTA market ranges — your exact cost depends on bathroom size, existing conditions, and finish selections.

3 to 8 weeks from demo to handoff. A cosmetic refresh with no plumbing or electrical changes can be completed in 2–3 weeks. A full gut and rebuild with new rough-ins, waterproofing, tile, and glass typically runs 4–6 weeks. The main variable is frameless glass lead time — custom glass is templated after tile is grouted and typically takes 2–3 weeks from template to install. At Spartan, the Gantt schedule is locked before demo starts so your timeline is real, not estimated.

Usually not for a standard bathroom renovation. Replacing fixtures, tile, and finishes in the same location does not require a permit. However, if you are relocating plumbing (moving a toilet, shower, or tub drain to a new position), adding new electrical circuits, or making structural changes, permits are required under the Ontario Building Code. Spartan confirms permit requirements during the site visit and manages the application if required.

Inadequate waterproofing is the most common cause. Many contractors tile directly over cement board with only a paint-on membrane, or skip the membrane entirely. Water infiltrates grout joints, saturates the substrate, and causes rot and mold behind the tile — sometimes years after the renovation. At Spartan, every shower is waterproofed with a Schluter-Kerdi membrane system or equivalent — applied and visually inspected before a single tile is set. The membrane is not optional, it is the standard.

Yes — most clients do, especially if you have a second bathroom in the home. The work area is sealed off and protected during demolition. The most disruptive phase is the first week of demo and rough-in — dust, noise, and no access to that bathroom. After rough-ins are done and walls are closed, disruption reduces significantly. If this is your only bathroom, Spartan will discuss a compressed schedule to minimize the time without access.

Change orders are rare because the scope is comprehensive from day one. When legitimate site conditions require adjustment — concealed mold, rotted subfloor, unexpected plumbing configuration — we document immediately, present clear options with transparent pricing, and proceed only with your written approval. No invoice surprises.

55–70% ROI on resale for a well-executed bathroom renovation in the GTA. Primary ensuite renovations typically return more than secondary bathrooms. The most important ROI driver is not the price of the materials — it is the quality of the waterproofing and tile work. A bathroom that looks good and holds for 15 years adds measurable resale value. A bathroom that leaks in three years is a liability.
