Aurora’s housing stock ranges from century homes in the Northeast Old Aurora Heritage Conservation District to large custom builds in Aurora Estates and family homes throughout Bayview Wellington and Hills of St. Andrew. Bathrooms in these homes often still carry original plumbing runs, dated fixtures, or layouts that no longer suit how the household actually lives.
iRemodel brings over 20 years of licensed renovation experience to Aurora homeowners, managing every stage of a bathroom remodel — design, permits, trades, and finishing — under one roof.
Why Aurora Homeowners Choose iRemodel
Aurora sits within York Region, and renovation work here follows the Town of Aurora’s own building permit process. Homes in the Northeast Old Aurora Heritage Conservation District may also require a heritage permit before certain exterior-adjacent or structural work begins, even for an interior bathroom project.
We handle this locally specific paperwork so homeowners don’t have to navigate it alone:
- Town of Aurora building permit applications for plumbing, electrical, or structural changes
- Heritage permit coordination for homes inside the designated conservation district
- Scheduling around septic or well systems for properties on Aurora’s outer edges
- Layout planning suited to both century homes and newer subdivisions
Our Aurora Bathroom Renovation Services
Every project starts with an in-home consultation to assess plumbing, structure, and layout before any design work begins. From there, our team manages the full scope of the renovation.
- Full bathroom remodels — layout changes, new plumbing runs, and complete finish upgrades
- Custom vanities — built to fit awkward or narrow spaces common in older Aurora homes
- Walk-in and curbless showers — including barrier-free options with grab bars and lowered thresholds
- Tub-to-shower conversions — a popular update for growing or downsizing families
- Heated flooring and updated ventilation — addressing the humidity and comfort issues common in older bathrooms
- Basement bathroom additions — for Aurora homes adding a second or third bathroom
What a Bathroom Renovation Costs in Aurora
Pricing depends on the scope of work, the age of existing plumbing, and the finishes selected. As a general guide for the GTA:
- A full 3-piece bathroom remodel typically runs $15,000 to $30,000+
- Older Aurora homes with outdated plumbing may see costs on the higher end, since some runs need to be replaced rather than just reconnected
- Heritage-designated properties can carry added costs tied to permit review and material matching
We provide a detailed, itemized estimate before any work begins, so there are no surprises once the project is underway.
Our Process, Start to Finish
- Consultation — We assess your bathroom, discuss your goals, and review any heritage or permit considerations specific to your property.
- Design and planning — Layout, fixtures, and finishes are finalized, and we prepare any required Town of Aurora or heritage permit submissions.
- Demolition and rough-in — Plumbing, electrical, and structural work is completed to current Ontario Building Code standards.
- Finishing — Tile, vanity, fixtures, and flooring are installed with careful attention to detail.
- Final walkthrough — We review the completed space with you and confirm every detail matches the plan.
Most bathroom renovations take 2 to 4 weeks from demolition to completion, depending on size and the extent of layout changes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to renovate my bathroom in Aurora?
If the work involves plumbing relocation, electrical changes, or structural modifications, a Town of Aurora building permit is required. Homes within the Northeast Old Aurora Heritage Conservation District may also need heritage approval. We manage this process for you from start to finish.
Can you work on older homes in the heritage district?
Yes. Interior bathroom renovations that don’t affect a home’s external appearance typically fall outside heritage review, but we confirm this with the Town before starting any project in the district to avoid delays.
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
Most projects take 2 to 4 weeks, though homes with older plumbing or heritage permit requirements may need additional time upfront for approvals.
Do you offer barrier-free or accessible bathroom designs?
Yes, including walk-in tubs, curbless showers, grab bars, and lowered vanities for households planning to age in place.
