Bathroom Renovations in Guelph
10+ years, Hundreds of Bathrooms Completed
Whether you're updating an outdated bathroom, improving functionality, or creating a space that feels like your own private retreat, Holloway Build Co delivers bathroom renovations built around quality craftsmanship and lasting value.
Bathrooms Built Around Your Home, Lifestyle & Budget
Your bathroom is one of the most frequently used spaces in your home. It should be practical enough for busy mornings, comfortable enough to unwind after a long day, and built with materials that stand up to everyday use. If your current bathroom no longer meets your needs, Holloway Build Co can help you transform it into a space you'll enjoy for years to come.
As a locally owned contractor serving Guelph and the surrounding communities, we specialize in complete bathroom renovations that combine thoughtful planning with exceptional craftsmanship. We don't believe every renovation should look the same. Instead, we take the time to understand how your family uses the space before recommending solutions that improve both functionality and appearance.
From the initial consultation through the final walkthrough, our team manages every detail of your project. We coordinate demolition, plumbing, electrical work, waterproofing, tile installation, cabinetry, fixtures, and finishing touches so you can enjoy a smooth, stress-free renovation without managing multiple contractors.
Quality is at the center of everything we do. We use proven installation methods, premium materials, and experienced trades to ensure your new bathroom not only looks beautiful but performs reliably for years to come. Whether you're renovating a compact powder room, a family bathroom, or a luxury ensuite, our goal is always the same: deliver a finished space that adds comfort, value, and confidence to your home.
Every bathroom renovation project also comes with a dedicated point of contact, so you're never left wondering who to call with a question or update. We believe a renovation should feel collaborative rather than confusing, which is why we walk homeowners through material selections, layout options, and design decisions in plain language rather than industry jargon. The result is a bathroom that reflects your budget and your vision, backed by a design-build process built for long-term reliability rather than a rushed finish.

Full Bathroom Renovations
Whether you're looking for a modern refresh or a complete transformation, Holloway Build Co provides complete bathroom renovations tailored to your home. We carefully plan every stage of your project to create a space that's both beautiful and functional while ensuring the finished bathroom fits your lifestyle and budget.
Our full renovations include demolition, layout improvements, plumbing and electrical upgrades, drywall, flooring, trim, painting, fixture installation, waterproofing, and final finishing. Because we manage the entire design-build process in-house, you get one team accountable for every trade, which means fewer delays, fewer surprises, and a finished bathroom that matches the plan we agreed on from day one.
Custom Showers
A custom shower can completely transform the look and feel of your bathroom. We design and build showers that combine everyday functionality with premium finishes, creating a space that's both practical and visually impressive.
Our custom shower options include walk-in showers, frameless glass enclosures, porcelain and ceramic tile, built-in niches, shower benches, rainfall shower heads, curbless entries, and custom waterproofing systems for long-lasting performance. Every custom shower installation begins with proper waterproofing beneath the surface, since a shower is only as durable as the membrane and drainage system hidden behind the tile.
Whether you prefer relaxing in a deep soaker tub or replacing an aging bathtub with something more modern, we offer professional bathtub installation for every style of bathroom.
We install freestanding tubs, alcove tubs, soaker tubs, replacement bathtubs, and custom tub surrounds that complement the rest of your renovation. If you're combining a bathtub replacement with a broader remodel, we'll help you choose a tub style, material, and placement that works with your layout, plumbing, and overall design.
Professional Tile Installation
Quality tile installation is one of the biggest factors in the appearance and longevity of your bathroom renovation. Our experienced team installs every tile with precision while ensuring proper waterproofing beneath every surface.
We install porcelain tile, ceramic tile, natural stone, mosaics, feature walls, shower surrounds, backsplashes, and heated tile flooring. From large-format floor tile to intricate mosaic accents, our tile setters take the time to plan layouts, minimize cuts, and align patterns so the finished surface looks intentional rather than improvised.
Custom Bathroom Vanities
Your vanity is one of the most important design features in the room while also providing valuable storage. We help homeowners select vanities that maximize both functionality and aesthetics
Options include floating vanities, double vanities, custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, integrated sinks, linen storage, and built-in organization. We can also incorporate smart LED mirrors, upgraded lighting, and custom hardware so your vanity area feels like a finished, cohesive part of your new bathroom rather than an afterthought.
Accessible Bathroom Renovations
A well-designed accessible bathroom allows homeowners to maintain independence without sacrificing style. We build bathrooms that improve safety while blending seamlessly into the overall design of your home.
Our accessibility solutions include barrier-free showers, walk-in tubs, grab bars, wider doorways, comfort-height toilets, built-in shower seating, non-slip flooring, and aging-in-place renovations. Whether you're planning ahead for future mobility needs or renovating for a family member today, we design accessible bathrooms that look like any other beautifully finished space in your home.

Our Bathroom Renovation Process
1
Consultation
Every renovation begins with an in-home consultation where we discuss your goals, budget, design preferences, timeline, and any challenges with your existing bathroom. This allows us to understand your vision before developing a renovation plan. We'll also walk through your current plumbing, layout, and any structural considerations that could affect the scope of work.
2
Design & Planning
Once we've established your goals, we help plan the layout, select finishes, recommend materials, choose fixtures, and optimize storage to ensure your new bathroom functions as beautifully as it looks. We'll present options for tile, vanities, showers, and lighting so every decision feels informed rather than overwhelming.
3
Detailed Quote
You'll receive a comprehensive quote outlining the work involved, recommended materials, project scope, and pricing. We believe transparency creates confidence, so you'll know exactly what to expect before construction begins, with no vague allowances or hidden line items to sort out later.
4
Construction
Our experienced team manages every phase of construction, including demolition, plumbing, electrical work, waterproofing, tile installation, drywall, painting, cabinetry, fixtures, and finishing details while maintaining a clean and organized worksite. We keep you updated at each milestone so you always know where your project stands.
5
Final Walkthrough
Before we consider your renovation complete, we perform a detailed quality inspection and walk through the finished project with you to ensure every detail meets our standards—and yours. Any final touch-ups are addressed before we consider the job done, because we'd rather fix a small detail now than leave you with a lingering concern later.

How Much Does a Bathroom Renovation Cost in Guelph?
Every bathroom renovation is unique, which means the overall investment depends on the size of the space, the materials you choose, and the complexity of the project.
Factors that commonly influence cost include bathroom size, tile selection, plumbing modifications, electrical upgrades, custom showers, accessibility features, structural changes, cabinetry, countertops, and fixture selections. A simple cosmetic update, such as replacing fixtures and refreshing tile, will typically cost less than a full renovation involving plumbing relocation, custom shower construction, or structural changes to the layout.
Homeowners also often ask how vanity upgrades, heated flooring, or premium tile affect the budget. While these features add cost, they can also add meaningful long-term value, comfort, and resale appeal, which is why we help you weigh each option against your priorities during the planning stage rather than after work has already begun.
The best way to receive an accurate estimate is through a personalized consultation where we can evaluate your existing bathroom and discuss your goals. We'll walk you through the pricing variables specific to your project so you have a clear, realistic budget before committing to any work.

Signs It's Time To Renovate Your Bathroom
Your bathroom may be telling you it's time for an upgrade. Common signs include:
Cracked or damaged tile
Water damage
Mold or mildew
Poor ventilation
Outdated finishes
Insufficient storage
Poor lighting
Leaking plumbing fixtures
Worn showers or bathtubs
Accessibility concerns
A growing family's changing needs
Wanting to increase your home's value
If you're experiencing one or more of these issues, a professionally planned renovation can improve both your daily routine and your home's long-term value.
Bathroom Renovations That Add Value To Your Home
A professionally completed bathroom renovation is one of the most rewarding investments you can make in your home. Beyond improving everyday comfort, a modern bathroom can increase resale appeal, improve functionality, reduce water consumption, and enhance energy efficiency through updated fixtures and lighting.
Bathrooms are consistently one of the first spaces buyers notice, which means an outdated or poorly maintained bathroom can hold back your home's overall value, while a well-executed renovation can meaningfully improve it. Upgrades like water-efficient toilets, improved ventilation, and quality waterproofing also help protect your home from moisture-related damage over time, adding value that goes beyond appearance alone.
"Whether you're planning to stay in your home for years or preparing to sell in the future, investing in quality craftsmanship today helps protect the value of your property tomorrow."
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Guelph?
Costs vary widely by scope — budget refreshes can start around $10,000–$22,000, mid-range renovations with new tile, vanity, and fixtures run $25,000–$40,000, and luxury builds with curbless showers or heated floors can exceed $50,000.
Do I need a permit for my bathroom renovation?
Yes, if the project involves moving plumbing, adding electrical, or structural changes — the City of Guelph requires a permit in these cases, typically adding $400–$1,200 in fees. Simple fixture swaps on existing connections usually don't need one.
What return on investment can I expect from a bathroom renovation?
Bathroom renovations are one of the stronger home improvements for resale — Guelph homeowners typically recoup roughly 60–70% of renovation costs when selling, with well-finished mid-range projects performing best.
What's the best time of year to renovate a bathroom in Guelph?
Late winter/early spring is ideal for booking, since contractor demand peaks May through September. Booking ahead of the summer rush often means better scheduling flexibility and pricing.
Should I convert my tub to a walk-in shower?
It depends on your household — walk-in showers feel more modern and can make small bathrooms feel larger, but if you're planning to sell to families, keeping at least one tub in the home is often recommended for resale appeal.
What's the difference between a full renovation and a bathroom refresh?
A refresh keeps the existing layout and plumbing in place and updates finishes like vanity, tile, and lighting. A full renovation can involve moving plumbing, reconfiguring the layout, or structural changes — which is where permits and higher costs come in.
