Bathroom Renovations

Bathroom renovations Kitchener homeowners choose for a clean, modern finish

A bathroom that feels better every day

From dated to spa-like, without the stress of managing trades

Bathrooms are small spaces with big expectations. You want them to look clean, feel comfortable, and work properly, with lighting, storage, and finishes that make daily routines easier. Whether you are updating a powder room or redesigning a main bath, a well-planned bathroom remodel can change how the whole home feels.


M&M Custom Painting handles bathroom renovations in Kitchener-Waterloo and surrounding areas, coordinating the work from demolition to final finishes. We focus on practical upgrades, durable materials, and careful installation, especially in wet areas where details matter most.

What we renovate

Every bathroom has different priorities, but most renovations fall into a few core upgrades. We tailor the scope to your layout, budget, and how you want the space to work.

Bathtub with shower head and towel.

Tub and shower upgrades

We handle bathtub replacements, shower renovations, and tub-to-shower conversions. If you want a walk-in shower, we can build a custom tiled shower with niches and clean edges, or install a more budget-friendly insert when that fits the plan. Waterproofing and proper prep are the foundation, so the finished shower looks great and performs the way it should.

Vanity with mirror and sparkles.

Vanities, storage, and smart layout improvements

A new vanity can improve both style and function, especially when storage is limited. We install vanities, sinks, and countertops, and can help improve storage with better cabinetry, medicine cabinets, or shelving solutions that fit the room.

Flooring and tile work

Tile is where the details show first. We install slip-resistant flooring and wall tile with clean cuts, aligned grout lines, and proper prep underneath. For more detail on our tile and flooring work, see flooring and tile installation.

Toilets, fixtures, lighting, and ventilation

Updating fixtures can modernize a bathroom quickly and improve comfort. We coordinate the installation of toilets, faucets, shower heads, and accessories, and we can also improve lighting and ventilation to help manage moisture and keep the space feeling fresh.

Accessibility and custom features

If you want a bathroom that works better long-term, we can plan features like grab bars, improved entry clearance, and safer shower access. We can also build in practical touches like niches, benches, and layouts that feel easier to move through.

Workmanship that prevents headaches

Bathrooms need tight details and proper waterproofing

Bathrooms do not forgive rushed work. Water finds weak points, and small mistakes can turn into bigger problems. That is why we focus on proper substrates, clean sealing, careful tile alignment, and a workflow that protects the home while the project is underway.


We coordinate licensed trades when plumbing or electrical changes are needed, and we keep the sequence organized so you are not waiting on one step to finish the next. If your project includes drywall repairs or ceiling updates as part of the plan, we can handle those details as well so everything is ready before final finishes go in.

The renovation process

A clear plan from demolition to final finishes

A bathroom remodel is disruptive, so we keep the schedule realistic and the communication clear. While every project is different, most bathroom renovations follow this general sequence.

1.

Planning and selections

We measure, confirm layout goals, and help finalize fixtures, tile, and finishes so ordering and timing stay on track.

2.

Demolition and prep

We protect surrounding areas, remove old materials, and prep surfaces for waterproofing and installation.

3.

Rough-ins and trade coordination

If plumbing or electrical changes are required, we coordinate licensed professionals so the work is done properly and the schedule stays consistent.

4.

Shower or tub installation and waterproofing

We install the base system and waterproofing components so wet areas are protected before tile goes up.

5.

Tile, flooring, and fixture installation

Tile, floors, vanities, and fixtures are installed with careful finishing so the bathroom looks clean and feels solid.

6.

Painting, trim, and final walkthrough

We complete finishing touches and paint work so the space feels complete, then walk through with you to confirm the final details.

Bathroom renovations FAQ

Common questions about bathroom remodeling

  • How much does it cost to renovate a bathroom in Kitchener?

    Cost depends on the size of the bathroom, the fixtures you choose, and whether plumbing or electrical changes are involved. Some projects are cosmetic updates, while others are full renovations with tile and layout changes. We provide a detailed quote after a walkthrough so you know what is included.

  • Do I need a permit to remodel a bathroom?

    Often, permits are only required when plumbing or electrical is being moved, or when structural changes are part of the scope. We will advise you during planning and coordinate permits when they are required.

  • Can you convert a tub to a walk-in shower?

    Yes. Tub-to-shower conversions are common. We can remove the tub and install a walk-in shower, including custom tile options and layouts that improve accessibility and daily comfort.

  • How long will my bathroom be out of service?

    Many full bathroom renovations take a couple of weeks, depending on scope and material lead times. Smaller bathrooms and simple updates can be quicker. We provide a clear schedule before work begins and keep you updated throughout.

  • Will you help me choose tiles and fixtures?

    Yes. We can help narrow options based on durability, maintenance, and style, and recommend selections that fit your budget. We also confirm sizing and fit so materials work properly in your space.
