OTTAWA • BATHROOM RENOVATIONS
Bathroom Renovations in Ottawa
A bathroom is a small room with several systems meeting in the same place. The shower base, waterproofing, tile, plumbing and ventilation need to work together; a good-looking tile selection cannot make up for an incomplete assembly.
Voland Contracting renovates bathrooms across Ottawa and nearby communities. We coordinate construction and qualified trade work for defined shower replacements, fixture updates and complete room renovations.

The shower deserves its own scope
A tiled shower involves more than removing old tile and fitting new glass. The proposed base, drain location, waterproofing system, wall preparation and glass measurements need to be considered together. Existing damage may only become visible after removal.
A low-threshold or curbless shower is not suitable for every floor assembly without additional work. We discuss the existing floor and drainage arrangement before treating either option as a straightforward upgrade.
Keep useful space around the fixtures
An oversized vanity can make a room feel smaller in daily use. A shower door that looks right on a drawing may meet a toilet or towel rail when opened. Storage, door swings and cleaning access deserve attention before fixtures are ordered.
- Check the dimensions of the chosen toilet, vanity and shower enclosure.
- Consider where towels, toiletries and cleaning supplies will be stored.
- Discuss lighting around the mirror and the room's ventilation needs.
- Confirm whether the bathroom is the household's only bathing facility.
What stays hidden matters to the estimate
Keeping plumbing fixtures in place may limit some changes, but it does not tell us the condition of the pipes or the surfaces behind them. Moving fixtures introduces additional plumbing work and may affect access from adjoining rooms.
We identify known work in the estimate and review newly discovered conditions with you. An allowance for selected fixtures should be distinguished from labour, preparation and other construction inclusions. Required permits and any specialist design are confirmed separately.
Bathroom renovation questions
Can you replace a tub with a walk-in shower?
We can assess that scope. Drain position, floor construction, waterproofing, plumbing and the chosen enclosure all need review. The usable shower dimensions should be confirmed before products are purchased.
Will new tile solve a damp or leaking shower?
Tile replacement alone should not be assumed to solve the cause. A leak may involve the waterproofing, drain or plumbing. The repair scope needs to address the source, with damaged materials assessed before rebuilding.
How do we manage the only bathroom in the house?
Raise this at the first discussion. We need to identify which facilities will be unavailable and when. Temporary arrangements depend on the work; we cannot promise that a bathroom will remain usable throughout a full renovation.
Can I supply my own fixtures?
That can be discussed. We need the product specifications, delivery timing and installation requirements, with responsibility for missing, damaged or unsuitable items made clear in the agreement.
