Spa-inspired bathroom renovations in Mississauga
We renovate bathrooms and ensuites across Mississauga with walk-in showers, freestanding tubs, heated floors, and premium tile, from Port Credit to Streetsville, and every wet wall gets a genuine waterproofing membrane rather than a board mistaken for one. Cement board resists incidental moisture far better than drywall, but water can still reach the framing behind it unless a membrane is installed over or behind the board, and that membrane, not the board, is what actually stops water at the source. Old gypsum board and moisture-resistant "greenboard" have no place behind a Mississauga shower wall, whatever the scope of the job.
Mississauga reviews each plumbing fixture in a bathroom permit at $42.23, the highest per-fixture rate of any city we build in, on top of a base interior-alteration fee of $6.84 per square metre and a $244 minimum. A standard three-fixture bathroom, a toilet, a sink, and a tub or shower, adds roughly $127 in fixture review fees alone. Relocating a tub or toilet, or recessing a subfloor for a curbless shower, pushes the job into the same structural review, since the floor has to slope continuously toward the drain before the finished surface goes down. We also frame in grab bar blocking on every full renovation regardless of the client's current needs, since it costs almost nothing while the wall is open.
Mississauga has the lowest share of pre-1960 housing of any city in our service area, just over 7 percent, with half its dwellings built between 1961 and 1990 during the city's postwar suburban boom. A bathroom from that era usually has copper or early aluminum supply lines rather than the galvanized pipe common in an older city, and a poured or block foundation, but its shower wall is still very likely cement board or plain gypsum board standing in for a real membrane. We check that assembly on every renovation here before deciding what gets reused and what gets rebuilt from the studs out.
Glass is usually the final piece on a Mississauga job, since a frameless enclosure can only be templated once the shower base and walls are genuinely finished, then built to that measurement. See more of our bathroom renovation work, pair it with a kitchen renovation, or browse everything we build across our Mississauga service area. Postwar suburban stock like this turns up again further along the lake, and how a 1970s wall assembly differs from a 1980s one is worked through under bathroom renovation cost in Toronto and bathroom renovations in Oakville.
