Bathrooms in older Beaches cottages and Edwardian homes tend to be small, sometimes tucked under a staircase or squeezed into a converted closet, with plumbing that hasn’t been touched in decades. iRemodel Home Renovation Toronto specializes in making the most of these tight footprints, whether that means a full layout redesign or a high-quality refresh within the existing space.
What’s Involved in a Beaches Bathroom Renovation
Bathroom renovations in the GTA typically take 2 to 4 weeks and range from $15,000 to $30,000 or more for a full 3-piece bathroom, depending on fixtures, tile, and how much of the plumbing layout changes. Common Beaches projects include:
- Replacing outdated tubs with walk-in or curbless showers
- Custom vanities sized to fit non-standard, older bathroom footprints
- Full re-piping where original plumbing has deteriorated
Local Considerations for Beaches Properties
Older Beaches homes often have galvanized or outdated copper plumbing that needs replacing during a renovation, even if the layout itself stays the same. Any project involving plumbing relocation, electrical work, or structural changes requires a City of Toronto building permit, which our team manages on your behalf.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can an old cast-iron tub be replaced with a walk-in shower?
Yes, this is one of the most common upgrades we do in older Beaches homes. It usually involves relocating drainage, which we handle as part of the permit and construction process.
Do older Beaches homes usually need plumbing upgrades during a bathroom renovation?
Often, yes. Many properties still have original plumbing that’s due for replacement, and it’s more cost-effective to address it during the renovation than after.
How long does a full bathroom renovation take?
Most projects take 2 to 4 weeks from demolition to final walkthrough, with full layout changes running slightly longer.
