Ottawa Bathroom Renovation Costs: Making Informed Decisions


Before you begin your Ottawa renovation project, there are multiple factors to consider, such as bathroom renovation costs, understanding which areas of your bathroom you choose to renovate, the size of your bathroom and the materials used. While bathroom finish materials can contribute to the overall expense, the majority of the bathroom renovation cost will come from the labor and trades involved in the project.

To help you start, we have created a detailed guide to help you make informed decisions, breaking down the crucial factors affecting bathroom renovation costs in Ottawa.

Reasons to Renovate Your Bathroom

Renovating your bathroom is a major investment towards your home, but there are many other benefits to consider. For example, if your home was built over 30 years ago, our team will inspect your bathroom, ensuring there is no mold, mildew, or asbestos behind the walls. If that’s the case, we’ll need a complete bathroom renovation where we waterproof the shower area and replace any damp or molded areas.

Increased Property Value

According to different real estate studies conducted by ReMax, the average return on investment (ROI) in Ottawa can range from 62% and up to 100% for bathroom renovations alone. This range can fluctuate based on different factors that property appraisers look for, such as updated showers, overall bathroom design and the finishes selected. 

At iBathrooms, the cost of a 3-piece bathroom renovation starts at $13,999 while the price of a 4-piece bathroom renovation starts at $16,999. 

If we use the example of a 4-piece bathroom renovation at $16,999 with an average ROI of 62%, the potential could be a return of $10,539.38 added to your property value.

Improved Safety

Renovating your bathroom can improve the safety of your home for those with mobility issues and it may improve the overall design of your home.

This usually includes replacing old fixtures with accessible-friendly ones, improving the layout to be barrier-free, adding more lighting or ventilation, and moving electrical outlets further away from water.

Improved Energy Efficiency

If you live in an older home built over 20 years ago and notice your faucets are leaking more, chances are it’s time for a bathroom update. Our bathroom renovation package also includes replacing old fixtures with new, energy-efficient ones and ultimately reducing water usage. These eco-friendly upgrades are integral in creating a bathroom that is not only functional but also sustainable and cost-effective, lowering your utility bills and contributing to a more environmentally conscious home.

Storage Solutions

Bathrooms are one of the areas in the home that often need more storage space. Increasing vanity space or creating a better layout may add to your bathroom remodeling costs but it will improve the overall look of your bathroom and make it much more functional.

The iBathrooms team is experienced in designing and installing new millwork that offer plenty of storage solutions. Choose from custom vanities to linen pantries to keep all your toiletries organized while maximizing space.

Updated Design

Renovating your bathroom gives you a chance to completely transform this space. Whether you prefer a bathroom design that is more modern or a vintage design, updating your bathroom with a new design will not only improve its overall look, it also help to boost its property value. Home appraisers often look for the property’s age and condition to determine the value of a property, comparing it to the stats of your neighborhood.

With our mobile showroom, we’ll come to you with design solutions so you don’t need to worry. We offer a wide variety of material finishes that will make the renovation process easier, all brought to your doorstep. This includes inspiration for installing custom floor inlays, a shower niche to hold all your essentials, a trendy backsplash or side splash, and a new mirror to match for your vanity.
