Bathroom Renovation Plumbing for Homes Across the GTA

In a bathroom renovation, the plumbing goes in before anything you will see. Every hour spent on it with the studs bare is an hour not spent opening finished tile later.

  • Shut-offs replaced when they will not close
  • Trap and supply lines rebuilt under the fixture

Signs it is time to call

Relocating a toilet, tearing out a tub for a curbless shower, adding a double vanity or a freestanding tub all change drains, vents and supplies. Even a like-for-like remodel is a chance to replace old valves and drains you will not have access to again.

On the job, step by step

  1. Plan. Fixture locations, drain sizes, vent connections and valve heights agreed before demolition ends.
  2. Rough-in. Fresh waste, venting and water lines go in, along with a pressure-balancing or thermostatic shower valve.
  3. Inspect. Permit inspection before walls close.
  4. Finish. Toilets, vanities, faucets and trim after tile.

The tile setter cannot fix a drain that was placed two inches too far from the wall.

GTA houses and what they change

Older homes may have cast-iron tub drains and lead closet bends under the floor; we replace them while accessible. Joist direction controls where a toilet can move. Curbless showers need the floor recessed or built up. Linear drains need precise slope from the tile setter.

  • Shower valve set to finished wall depth
  • Blocking for grab bars
  • Access panel for valves where possible

Common questions

How far can a toilet travel?

That hinges on which way the joists run, the fall a three-inch drain needs and the distance back to the stack. We measure it out before the layout is final.
