A bathroom renovation Burnaby homeowners can trust requires more than a contractor willing to swap tile. Most Burnaby housing was built between 1950 and 1985 — The Heights bungalows, Deer Lake mid-century homes, the detached stock along Gilmore, Douglas, and Cascade. Behind those walls we regularly find galvanised plumbing at end of life, knob-and-tube wiring, asbestos-backed vinyl, and waterproofing that stopped at a layer of plastic sheeting. A proper bathroom renovation in Burnaby has to handle every one of those conditions to current BC Building Code — not paint over them. DELANA Interiors has been completing renovations across Metro Vancouver since 1981. Whether you are rebuilding an ensuite in a Buckingham Heights luxury home, converting a tub to a walk-in shower in a 1960s Burnaby Heights bungalow, or gutting a condo bathroom at Metrotown or Brentwood Gate, we manage the full project — design, City of Burnaby permits, demolition, waterproofing, tiling, plumbing, electrical, and final walkthrough — under one contract.
What Does a Bathroom Renovation in Burnaby Include?
A bathroom renovation Burnaby project includes full demolition, waterproofing membrane installation, custom tile and flooring work, plumbing and fixture replacement, vanity and countertop installation, in-floor radiant heat where specified, and electrical updates to BC Building Code. DELANA Interiors pulls every required City of Burnaby building permit, coordinates with strata where the project is in a condo, and manages every trade on your behalf as your licensed general contractor in Burnaby.
- Initial in-home consultation, bathroom assessment, and layout planning
- Detailed, itemised written quote before any work begins
- All required City of Burnaby building permits pulled and inspections coordinated
- Strata approval coordination for condo projects at Metrotown, Brentwood, Edmonds, and Lougheed

- Asbestos testing for pre-1990 homes before any material is disturbed
- Professional waterproofing — Schluter KERDI or equivalent — on every wet wall and floor
- Custom tile work — floor, walls, feature walls, shower surrounds, large-format porcelain, marble, natural stone
- Walk-in shower builds, tub-to-shower conversions, or freestanding soaker tub installation
- Frameless glass shower enclosures where specified
- Vanity, countertop, and custom vanity cabinet installation
- Plumbing rough-in, fixture replacement, and pressure-balance valve upgrades

Our Bathroom Renovation Process in Burnaby
Every bathroom renovation Burnaby project we complete follows the same five stages. No surprises — a clear, documented process from first visit to final handover.
-
Consultation and Design
We visit your home, assess your bathroom, and listen to what you actually want the space to do. For older Burnaby Heights and Cascade-area homes we inspect the plumbing stack, joists, and venting before promising a layout. For condo units at Metrotown or Brentwood we confirm strata rules and building engineering limits before scope is finalised.
-
Detailed Written Quote
You receive a comprehensive, itemised quote — labour, materials, fixtures, permits, contingency — before any work starts. Every line is explained. You know exactly what you are investing before a single tile is touched. This is the stage where most renovation problems are avoided.
-
Demolition, Waterproofing, and Inspections
Dust barriers and floor protection go in first. Demolition follows with responsible debris removal. Once the space is open, the waterproofing membrane goes in before anything else. For pre-1990 Burnaby homes this is also when asbestos or lead-paint mitigation is handled if testing flagged it.
-
Expert Construction
Our tradespeople complete tile, plumbing, electrical, fixture installation, and millwork to BC Building Code. City of Burnaby inspectors are coordinated at every required stage. Every phase is reviewed before the next begins — no concealed problems, no shortcuts.
-
Final Walkthrough and Warranty
We walk through every detail of your new bathroom together — fixtures, tile grout, silicone, hardware, outlets, ventilation. You receive written warranty documentation on completion. We do not consider the job done until you are fully satisfied.
Why Burnaby Homeowners Choose DELANA for Bathroom Renovation
Over 40 Years of Renovation Work Across Metro Vancouver
DELANA Interiors has been completing renovations since 1981. In four decades across Burnaby, Vancouver, and the North Shore we have seen every era of plumbing, every style of tile, every generation of BC Building Code. That experience shows up on the details that do not appear in the brochure — the slope of a shower pan, the tile layout around a recessed niche, the way a waterproofing membrane is terminated at the flange. We are proud members of HAVAN (the Homebuilders Association Vancouver).
We Know Burnaby's Housing Stock
A bathroom renovation in Burnaby Heights behaves differently than an ensuite rebuild at Brentwood Gate. Older detached stock along Hastings, Willingdon, and Douglas is often on galvanised supply lines with cast-iron drains — expect corrosion, plan for replacement. Condos at Metrotown, Lougheed, and Highgate run on PEX and ABS with strata rules that limit vertical stack access. We plan for the specific conditions of your house or building.
Waterproofing Done Right — Every Time
Failed waterproofing is the single most common cause of bathroom renovation disasters in Metro Vancouver. Moisture reaches the structure, mould takes hold, and the entire project needs redoing. We install Schluter KERDI (or an equivalent certified membrane) across every wet wall and floor — fully bonded, fully terminated at the pan, niches, and curbs — before a single tile gets set. Built into every Burnaby bathroom quote, never billed as an upgrade.
Licensed, Bonded, and WorkSafe BC Registered
Every tradesperson we send to a Burnaby home carries full liability insurance and is registered with WorkSafe BC. You are protected from first demolition through final fixture installation. A licensed general contractor manages every bathroom reno Burnaby homeowners bring to us — permits, trades, and inspections under one contract.
We Pull Every City of Burnaby Permit
City of Burnaby building permits are required for any bathroom renovation involving plumbing relocation, electrical work beyond a like-for-like swap, or structural changes. The Burnaby process differs slightly from Vancouver's — different inspection checkpoints, turnaround times, and fee schedule. We pull every required permit and coordinate every inspection. You never have to call the city yourself.
One Team, One Schedule, One Point of Contact
You do not hire a plumber, an electrician, a tile-setter, and a carpenter separately and hope they show up in the right order. DELANA manages every trade. One call reaches the right person every time, and the project runs on a schedule you can plan around.
How Much Does a Bathroom Renovation Cost in Burnaby?

Below are the going rates and average charges according to local statistics. However DELANA Interiors and Jim Lazos have a goal to break these numbers for your benefit. Our years of experience allow us to beat any price our competitors quote.
Average according to local statistics, bathroom renovation costs in Burnaby depend on the size of your bathroom, the scope of work, and the fixtures and finishes you select. The numbers below reflect going market rates we see across real Metro Vancouver projects.
Powder room (25–50 sq ft)
$5,000–$12,000
New vanity, toilet, tile, fixtures, and lighting
Cosmetic refresh (existing layout)
$8,000–$15,000

Notes about your final cost
- The reality is that the actual and final price is controlled by you, since we are only supplying the products you have selected. Cheap material, average, standard, medium, and all the way to top of the line and high end determines the actual real cost
- All construction, renovations, additions, and remodelling require a building permit — we walk you through what your project needs
- We provide a full cost breakdown on request
- We provide detailed drawings and a written estimate
- We send past project photos on request
- All work begins only after a written agreement signed by all parties
- Any change to scope or finishes during the project is documented in a signed written addendum before that work begins — protecting your budget and ours
- Our experience beats market prices
Burnaby labour rates track closely with the rest of Metro Vancouver. Plumbers currently run $100–$140 per hour, electricians $95–$130, and tile-setters $8–$35 per square foot depending on material complexity. For homes built before 1980 — a large share of the detached Burnaby stock — budget a 10–20% contingency for conditions that only show up after demolition: galvanised supply lines, asbestos-containing materials, outdated venting, or water damage.
The only way to get an accurate number for your bathroom is a proper in-home assessment — not a figure from a website. Every Burnaby bathroom is different. DELANA provides free, detailed estimates with no obligation.

Common Questions About Bathroom Renovation in Burnaby
How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Burnaby?
A full bathroom renovation Burnaby homeowners commission typically costs between $10,000 and $20,000. Powder rooms start around $5,000–$12,000, while master ensuite renovations with custom tile, walk-in shower, and heated floors run $20,000–$35,000. Luxury ensuites in Deer Lake or Buckingham Heights homes run higher and depend on the finishes selected. DELANA provides detailed, itemised written quotes so you know the number before work begins — we work with every budget tier.
Do I need a permit for a bathroom renovation in Burnaby?
Yes — any bathroom renovation in Burnaby involving plumbing relocation, new electrical circuits, or structural changes requires a City of Burnaby building permit under the BC Building Code. Like-for-like fixture swaps without rough-in changes are generally exempt, but most real renovations trigger the permit requirement. DELANA pulls every permit and coordinates every inspection with the City of Burnaby as part of the service.
How long does a bathroom renovation take in Burnaby?
Most full bathroom renovations in Burnaby take three to six weeks from demolition to final walkthrough. A cosmetic refresh with no layout changes runs faster — often two to three weeks. A full ensuite gut with plumbing relocation, permit approval, custom tile, and inspection coordination takes the longer end of that range. For condo projects at Metrotown or Brentwood, strata approval timelines are added at the front end.
Can I convert my tub to a walk-in shower in a Burnaby home?
Yes — tub-to-shower conversion is one of the most common bathroom reno Burnaby requests we handle, especially in Burnaby Heights and Cascade-area homes built before 1990. The conversion involves removing the existing tub, expanding the shower footprint, installing a proper waterproofing system, re-tiling, and fitting a frameless glass enclosure. We manage the full conversion including any required City of Burnaby plumbing permit.
Do you renovate bathrooms in Burnaby condos?
Yes — we complete bathroom renovations Burnaby-wide in condos across Metrotown, Brentwood, Lougheed, Highgate, and Edmonds. Condo projects require strata approval, coordination with building management, and planning around vertical stack access. We handle strata submissions, building engineering requirements, and elevator and move-in bookings as part of the project management.
What is the most common problem behind the walls in older Burnaby bathrooms?
In detached homes built before 1985 — a large share of the Burnaby Heights, Willingdon Heights, and Cascade-area stock — the most common discoveries are galvanised steel supply lines at end of life, cast-iron drain corrosion, outdated venting that does not meet current code, and inadequate or absent waterproofing behind the original tile. Asbestos-containing vinyl flooring and lead-paint trim are also possible on pre-1990 homes, which is why we test before disturbing any material.
