Bathroom Renovations in Whitby
From Port Whitby and the downtown heritage district to Brooklin and the newer subdivisions of north Whitby, we design and build bathrooms that fit how your family lives. Starting at $15,999.
Built for Families, Ready for an Upgrade
Whitby has a higher share of single-detached homes than Pickering, Ajax or Oshawa: 69.5% in the 2021 census. About 45% of its homes were built between 1991 and 2010, in neighbourhoods such as Williamsburg, Rolling Acres, Taunton North and the growth areas of Brooklin. Those houses came with a primary ensuite, a main bathroom and a powder room, finished to a builder's standard that is now twenty or thirty years old.
That makes Whitby an ensuite town. The most common request we get here is to take a dated ensuite, often with a large tub that nobody uses and a small shower, and turn it into the room the homeowner actually wants: a bigger walk-in shower, a double vanity with real storage, better lighting and heated floors.
Whitby's two heritage conservation districts, Werden's Plan downtown and Brooklin, add one more consideration. The Town says owners there need a heritage permit before doing proposed work, so any exterior change, such as a new window or vent, is checked before design is final.

Whitby Bathroom Renovation Costs
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.
In Whitby, most main bathrooms cost $16,000 to $40,000, and the ensuite makeovers we do most often typically run $35,000 to $65,000, depending on the shower, tile and vanity you choose. We quote a fixed price once we have measured the room.

Five Things That Shape a Whitby Bathroom Project
We plan for these from the first visit, so the quote holds.
Twenty-Year-Old Builder Finishes
Ensuites from the 1990s and 2000s often have tile on drywall and small fans. We rebuild with proper membranes and ventilation.
Heritage Districts
Werden's Plan downtown and Brooklin require a heritage permit for proposed work, so we check exterior changes early.
Plumbing Permit Fees
Whitby's 2026 fee schedule charges $27.80 per plumbing fixture, with a $305 minimum permit fee.
Lake Ontario Water
Durham Region reports hardness of about 125 mg/L. A softener is optional, but it reduces scale on glass.
Basements Built for Finishing
Many north Whitby homes have deep basements with rough-ins, which makes a basement bathroom a natural next project.
