Bathroom Renovations in Brantford
From Eagle Place and Holmedale to West Brant, Shellard and Brier Park, we renovate Brantford bathrooms in a city where most homes were built before 1981. Starting at $15,999.
Most Brantford Homes Predate 1981
In the 2021 census, 33.4% of Brantford's homes were built in 1960 or earlier and another 29.5% between 1961 and 1980, so 62.8% predate 1981. Bathrooms in houses that age have often been renovated only on the surface, with new tile laid over old walls and drains that have never been touched. We plan every Brantford quote around what is likely to be behind the finishes.
The City's own programs point to what sits under older floors. Brantford says pipes may contain lead in homes built before 1955, and it offers a grant of up to $1,500 plus a loan of up to $3,000 toward replacement. It also pays half the cost of replacing a private sanitary sewer lateral, to a maximum of $2,000. Both are worth knowing about before a bathroom is opened up.
Brantford's water comes from the Grand River through the Holmedale Canal, and the City describes its hardness as medium to high. The river matters in another way too: Brantford allows up to three units on a serviced lot, but does not permit additional units in the basements of homes located in the floodplain, so a basement unit bathroom starts with checking where the house sits.

What We Build in Brantford
The bathroom projects that suit Brantford's older housing best.
Pre-1960 Bathroom Rebuilds
Taking older bathrooms back to the studs, with new drains, supply lines and waterproofing.
Basement Bathrooms
Second bathrooms below grade, planned after we confirm the drain depth and whether the house is in the floodplain.
Additional Unit Bathrooms
Bathrooms for second and third units on serviced lots outside the floodplain.
Tub-to-Shower Conversions
Walk-in showers in place of a worn tub and surround.
Ensuite Additions
Adding a private bathroom to a primary bedroom in a house built with only one.
Accessible Bathrooms
Curbless showers and support blocking so you can stay in your home longer.
Five Brantford Factors We Plan For
Each of these comes up regularly in Brantford bathroom planning.
Plumbing Permits
Adding, relocating or permanently removing fixtures needs a plumbing permit. Replacing a fixture in the same location, such as an old toilet for a low-flush model, may not.
Fees per Fixture
The City's posted fees charge $13.50 per fixture for plumbing work, with a $105 minimum permit fee.
Lead and Sewer Lateral Help
A lead pipe grant of up to $1,500 and loan of up to $3,000, plus up to $2,000 toward a new private sewer lateral.
Floodplain Rules for Basement Units
Additional units are not allowed in basements of homes in the floodplain, so we confirm the location first.
Two Heritage Districts
Brant Avenue and Victoria Park Square include 139 properties, where we check exterior changes before design is final.
Brantford Bathroom Renovation Costs
Brantford bathroom renovations start at $15,999 for a complete standard bathroom. That includes demolition, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, the vanity, lighting, paint and finishing, and we arrange the permit and manage every trade.
Most Brantford family bathrooms cost $16,000 to $40,000. Older houses that need a new drain or lead service replacement sit toward the upper end, and we list that work separately so it can be matched to City grants. Primary ensuites typically run $35,000 to $65,000, and every quote is fixed after a site visit.
