Bathroom Renovations in Oshawa
From the older streets around downtown, Lakeview and McLaughlin to the new subdivisions of Windfields and Kedron, we renovate Oshawa bathrooms properly, behind the walls as well as on them. Starting at $15,999.
Oshawa's Homes Are Older Than Its Neighbours'
Oshawa's housing is older than its neighbours'. In the 2021 census, 23.6% of the city's homes were built before 1961 and another 35.0% between 1961 and 1980, so almost six in ten predate 1981. Neighbourhoods such as Lakeview, McLaughlin, O'Neill and the streets around downtown are full of these houses, and their bathrooms have usually been updated in layers over the decades.
That history matters when the walls come open. Homes built before the mid-1950s can still have lead water service pipes, which Durham Region says are typically found in homes of that age, and older drains and supply lines are often worth replacing while the room is stripped. We include an allowance for what we commonly find, so the quote reflects the house.
North Oshawa is a different market. The Windfields and Kedron areas are growing quickly, and their new homes tend to need ensuite upgrades and basement bathrooms rather than repairs. With more than a third of Oshawa households renting, basement bathrooms in rental units are a common project too.

What Makes an Oshawa Bathroom Different
These are the local factors that shape cost and scope in Oshawa.
Homes Built Before 1981
About 59% of Oshawa homes predate 1981, so we plan for older plumbing, subfloors and ventilation.
Lead Service Pipes
Durham Region says lead service pipes are typically found in homes built before the mid-1950s, and the private side is the owner's responsibility.
Permits for Plumbing Changes
Oshawa requires a permit for changes to plumbing systems, but not to replace a fixture such as a sink or toilet.
Rental Housing Rules
Rental properties in the city need a licence, and from January 1, 2026 carbon monoxide alarms are required on every storey.
New Homes in the North End
Windfields and Kedron homes need upgrades and basement bathrooms rather than repairs.
Lake Ontario Water
Durham Region reports hardness of about 125 mg/L, so a softener is optional.
What a Bathroom Renovation Costs in Oshawa
Our full-service bathroom renovations start at $15,999 for a complete renovation of a standard bathroom: demolition, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, vanity, lighting, paint and finishing, with permits and trades coordinated for you.
Most Oshawa family bathrooms cost $16,000 to $40,000. In pre-1981 homes, replacing old drains or supply lines can add to the total, and we show that as a separate line so you can see it. Primary ensuite makeovers typically run $35,000 to $65,000.
