Why our floor is $20K and not $12K: A $12K bathroom in Vancouver 2026 either skips proper waterproofing (Schluter/Wedi membrane is $1,200 in materials alone for a full bath), uses big-box-only fixtures that don't carry warranty, or is done by an unlicensed installer without BC permit. $20K is what a code-compliant Vancouver bathroom actually costs once you include licensed plumber + electrician + tile setter + warranty.
Kitchen and bathroom renovations often go hand-in-hand — many homeowners bundle both for coordinated finishes and a single mobilization cost. If your project extends beyond the bathroom, consider a whole-house renovation or a finished basement for a secondary suite.

How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Vancouver? Bathroom renovation costs range from $12,000–$18,000 for an entry-level renovation (basic tub-to-shower, new vanity, toilet) to $30,000–$35,000+ for a mid-range full renovation, and $35,000–$60,000+ for spa-style master ensuites with heated floors, curbless showers, and custom tile. See our Bathroom Renovation Cost Guide for full breakdowns.
Do I need a permit for a bathroom renovation in Metro Vancouver? Permits are required for plumbing relocations (moving drain or supply lines), electrical panel upgrades, structural changes, and adding new bathrooms. Cosmetic updates (new tile over existing substrate, vanity swap, toilet replacement) typically do not require permits. Reno Stars manages all permit applications where required.
How long does a bathroom renovation take? A standard 3-piece bathroom renovation takes 2–4 weeks from demo to completion. A full ensuite renovation with custom tile, heated floors, and curbless shower runs 4–8 weeks. Custom master bathrooms with extensive millwork and steam showers can take 8–14 weeks.
What is the difference between a shower conversion and a full bathroom renovation? A shower conversion replaces an existing tub with a shower unit — typically a 1-week project costing $3,500–$12,000 for a basic tiled shower. A full bathroom renovation replaces all fixtures, flooring, and surfaces and may include layout changes — typically 3–6 weeks and $18,000–$50,000+.

“This is our second project with Reno Stars, and once again the experience was excellent. Sylvia, Ryan, and Jasper make a fantastic team, the workmanship was great, everything stayed on budget, and communication was always quick and easy. The whole process went smoothly, and we are really happy with the results. Our friends are already asking who did our kitchen, and we are glad to recommend Reno Stars.”“Pretty happy with this renovation company overall. Pricing was reasonable and transparent. I changed my mind a few times and added some extra items during the project — they jumped on it right away and made the changes without any drama. In the end, they finished about 99% of the work within my really tight deadline and quickly wrapped up the rest.
Ryan and the team were professional, everything felt smooth and stress-free, and the work was done efficiently.”“Ryan and his team did major renovations at our townhouse in late 2024. Including total kitchen and bathroom upgrades as well as hardwood flooring on our living space and tiling in our kitchen, bathrooms and laundry room. Their prices are very reasonable and they are reliable.The work was done on schedule . We’ve used other renovation people in the past who are very unreliable. We recently had a small problem from the renovation and Ryan sent one of his crew here to fix the problem a year and half later and they fixed the problem free of charge! I definitely would and have recommended RenoStars to anyone !”Real Vancouver pricing tiers, project examples, and what drives cost — all in one place.
