Your project
Is it new construction or a renovation?
In new construction, there is nothing to remove.
The price of a bathroom renovation depends on the size of the room, what you change and the grade you choose. The calculator prices demolition, shower, tub, vanity, tile, plumbing and electrical, at Quebec rates.
What changes the price of a bathroom renovation
- What you change
- Replacing the vanity and toilet costs little; redoing the shower, tile and plumbing is another order of magnitude.

How long does a bathroom renovation take?
One to three weeks of work for a complete renovation, with the bathroom out of service most of that time.
Do I need a permit to renovate a bathroom?
Not to replace the fixtures. One is often needed if the plumbing, ventilation or walls change. Check with your city.
Tiled or acrylic shower?
Acrylic costs less, installs quickly and is easy to maintain. Tile costs more, but allows any dimensions and lasts longer.
Is this a firm price?
No. It is an estimate calculated for your bathroom, made to set a budget and compare quotes. Only a contractor who has seen the premises can sign a price.
