From Online Search to On-Site Execution
The client found iBathrooms through a simple online search and was immediately drawn to the clear process, transparent pricing, and honest photo documentation on the website. After a phone call where we explained our quote-first approach, she followed the steps:
Submit photos and receive an accurate, remote estimate.
She expressed concerns about cost — as many clients do — but felt reassured after reviewing our pricing page and seeing that our projects weren’t about flashy renovations, but real bathrooms for real people.
What Was Wrong With the Old Bathroom?
The original bathroom was over 20–25 years old, with vinyl floors that had started to peel and rot, forming around the toilet flange. The plumbing was still original, and the space no longer reflected the comfort and pride she wanted to feel in her home. The client didn’t want major layout changes — just a refreshed space that felt clean, elegant, and well-built.
A Clear Vision, A Simple Plan
The client had a distinct design vision:
- A warm wood vanity in a specific finish (which she sourced herself)
- Subway tiles for the shower walls
- Elegant hexagonal floor tiles with marble patterning
- Black hardware and a clean, functional double sink setup
She even shared Pinterest inspiration and photos from our website, giving us a strong starting point for alignment.
Project Outcome
At iBathrooms, we believe in stripping away what’s unnecessary — so we kept the layout intact, chose durable materials, and followed the client’s aesthetic choices without overcomplicating them. We handled all installation and finishing, including:
- Full Schluter waterproofing system
- Sleek fixtures from Bath Depot
- Rona-sourced floor tiles
- Euro Tile & Stone wall tiles
- A combination of Home Depot–sourced rough-in materials
- Shower valve system, tub, glass doors, all wall mount accessories, light fixtures, faucets mirrors sourced from Bath depot
The vanity, sourced independently by the client, was professionally installed and perfectly suited the space.
Every Job Has Challenges — Here’s How We Handled Ours
The biggest challenge came from the new tub we ordered. The first tub arrived with the wrong drain location. The second arrived damaged. Only the third was usable. We managed all returns and replacements ourselves — at no extra charge or stress to the client. This type of flexibility and integrity is what we’re proud to be known for. We also found and replaced rotting subflooring around the toilet area, ensuring a solid foundation for years to come.
Final Thoughts
The client didn’t need luxury — she needed trust, functionality, and a peaceful result. That’s exactly what we delivered. Her bathroom is now a calm, well-organized retreat with beautiful materials, clean lines, and thoughtful touches — all brought to life on a realistic budget with zero compromises on quality.
