Bathroom renovation in Vancouver by DELANA Interiors — custom tile work and walk-in shower

Your bathroom is one of the most used rooms in your home and one of the most technically demanding to renovate correctly. Done right, a bathroom renovation in Vancouver adds lasting value and gives you a space that actually works for your daily life. Done wrong, it means water damage, failed inspections, and a costly redo. DELANA Interiors has been completing bathroom renovations in Metro Vancouver since 1981. Whether you are planning a full ensuite renovation, a bathroom remodel Vancouver-style, converting a tub to a walk-in shower, updating a powder room, or rebuilding a master bathroom from scratch, we manage every part of the project — design, permits, waterproofing, plumbing, tiling, and the final walkthrough — so you never have to coordinate trades on your own.

What Does a Bathroom Renovation in Vancouver Include?

A bathroom renovation in Vancouver includes full demolition, waterproofing membrane installation, 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 standards. DELANA Interiors manages every trade as your licensed general contractor and pulls all required City of Vancouver building permits as part of the service.

  • Initial consultation, bathroom assessment, and layout planning
  • Detailed, itemised written quote before any work begins
  • All required City of Vancouver building permits pulled and managed

  • Responsible debris removal and site cleanup throughout the project

  • Custom tile work — floor tile, wall tile, feature wall, and shower surrounds

  • Frameless shower enclosure installation where specified

Our Bathroom Renovation Process in Vancouver

Every bathroom renovation in Vancouver we complete follows the same five steps. No surprises — just a clear process from start to finish.

  1. Consultation and Design

    We visit your home, assess your bathroom, and listen to what you want the space to do for you. We discuss layout options, fixture selections, tile choices, and whether any structural changes are required. You see the plan before any demolition begins.

  2. Detailed Quote

    You receive a comprehensive, itemised quote before any work begins. Every line item is explained — labour, materials, permits, fixtures. You know exactly what you are investing, with no vague estimates and no surprise costs at the end.

  3. Demolition and Waterproofing

    We protect your home with dust barriers before we begin. Once demolition is complete, proper waterproofing goes in before anything else is installed. This step determines whether your renovation lasts twenty years or develops problems in five.

  4. Expert Construction

    Our tradespeople complete all tile work, plumbing, electrical, and fixture installation to BC Building Code standards. Every material and installation is inspected before we move to the next phase. No shortcuts, no concealed problems.

  5. Final Walkthrough

    We walk through every detail of your new bathroom together. You receive written warranty documentation on completion, and we do not consider the job done until you are fully satisfied.

Why Vancouver Homeowners Choose DELANA Interiors for Bathroom Renovation

Over 40 Years and 1,000+ Renovations Completed in Metro Vancouver

DELANA Interiors has been completing renovations in Vancouver since 1981. Bathroom renovation is technically demanding — waterproofing failures, improper plumbing, and tile failures are the most common reasons homeowners end up paying twice. Our track record reflects four decades of getting it right the first time.

Waterproofing Done Right — Every Time

The single biggest cause of bathroom renovation failures in Vancouver is inadequate waterproofing. Moisture gets behind the tile, reaches the structure, and causes mould, rot, and eventually a full redo. DELANA installs a proper waterproofing membrane system before any tile is set — on floors, in shower surrounds, and on any wet wall. This is standard on every project, not an upgrade.

Licensed, Bonded, and WorkSafe BC Registered

Every contractor we send to your home carries full liability insurance and is registered with WorkSafe BC. You are protected from the first day of demolition to the last day of installation. A licensed general contractor manages every bathroom renovation in Vancouver we complete — from permits through to final inspection.

We Pull Every City of Vancouver Building Permit

Bathroom renovations involving plumbing or electrical changes require a City of Vancouver building permit under the BC Building Code. DELANA pulls and manages every required permit and coordinates all inspections. You never have to navigate the permit process yourself or wonder whether the work was done to code.

One Team, One Schedule, One Point of Contact

You do not hire a plumber, a tile setter, an electrician, 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 Vancouver?

A note before the numbers

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 Vancouver depend on the size of your bathroom, the scope of work, and the fixtures and finishes you select. Here is a realistic breakdown of going market rates for 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

New tile, vanity, fixtures, and hardware — no structural changes

Full bathroom renovation

$10,000–$20,000

Full gut, new waterproofing, custom tile, updated plumbing — actual cost depends on the finishes selected

Master ensuite renovation

$20,000–$35,000

Larger footprint, custom vanity, walk-in shower, soaker tub, in-floor radiant heat

Luxury ensuite or spa bathroom

Depends on finishes

Large format tile, frameless shower, Riobel or Kohler fixtures, custom vanity cabinetry, high-end lighting. Final cost is driven by the finishes selected — we provide a written breakdown after a site visit.

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

Vancouver labour rates are a significant part of your total cost. Plumbers run $100–$140 per hour, electricians $95–$130 per hour, and tile setters $8–$35 per square foot depending on material complexity. Budget a 10–20% contingency for older homes built before 1980, where hidden mould, outdated plumbing, and asbestos-containing materials are common discoveries behind walls.

The only way to get an accurate number for your bathroom is a proper in-home assessment — not a number from a website. Every bathroom is different. DELANA provides free, detailed estimates with no obligation.

Full Renovation — The Crosby House (Vancouver Heritage Register, B-Listing)

A full-scope DELANA-led renovation on the Crosby House at 1529 W 33rd Avenue — a 1937 early-modernist residence designed by architect Robert Berwick as one of his first professional commissions (Berwick later co-founded Sharp Thompson Berwick Pratt, the firm that helped define Vancouver mid-century modernism). The house is on the Vancouver Heritage Register as a B-listing with Municipal Protection. On this project DELANA completed 100% of the interior design and 100% of the finishes — inside and outside — including every bathroom. Ensuite and secondary-bath scope included Schluter KERDI waterproofing on every wet surface, custom tile, plumbing rough-in updates to current BC Building Code, and fixture selections chosen to sit inside Berwick's cubic concrete-block and corner-window vocabulary without fighting it.

Custom Build — Designed by Peter Cardew, Built and Interior-Designed by DELANA

Architect Peter Cardew (1939–2020, Peter Cardew Architects — designer of the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery at UBC and the Stone Collection Building) drew the design for 1519 W 33rd Avenue. DELANA Interiors built the home one hundred per cent from his plans and then completed one hundred per cent of the interior design — including every bathroom. Ensuite and powder bath scope ran the full envelope: substrate waterproofing, custom tile, plumbing rough-in, fixtures specified by DELANA to sit inside the architect's design vocabulary.

Common Questions About Bathroom Renovation in Vancouver

How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Vancouver BC?
A full bathroom renovation in Vancouver typically costs between $10,000 and $20,000. Powder room updates start around $5,000–$12,000, while a full master ensuite renovation with custom tile, walk-in shower, and heated floors runs higher and depends on the finishes you select. DELANA provides free, detailed estimates so you know the real number before any work begins — we work with every budget tier.
How much does an ensuite renovation cost in Vancouver?
An ensuite renovation in Vancouver typically starts at $20,000 and depends on the fixtures and finishes selected. Larger luxury ensuites with custom vanity cabinetry, a freestanding soaker tub, frameless shower enclosure, and in-floor radiant heat run higher. DELANA provides a full, itemised quote after assessing your space — not a rough estimate based on square footage.
Do I need a permit for a bathroom renovation in Vancouver?
Yes — if your bathroom renovation involves any changes to plumbing or electrical, a City of Vancouver building permit is required under the BC Building Code. This includes relocating fixtures, adding a new circuit, or upgrading your electrical panel. DELANA pulls and manages every required permit as part of the service. You never have to deal with the city directly.
How long does a bathroom renovation take in Vancouver?
Most full bathroom renovations in Vancouver take three to six weeks from demolition to final walkthrough. A straightforward cosmetic update with no layout changes runs shorter; a full ensuite gut with plumbing relocation, permit approval, and custom tile work takes longer. We give you a clear project schedule before work begins so you can plan accordingly.
Can I convert my tub to a walk-in shower in Vancouver?
Yes — a tub-to-shower conversion is one of the most common bathroom renovation requests we receive in Vancouver. It involves removing the existing bathtub, expanding the shower footprint, installing a proper waterproofing system, laying new tile, and fitting a frameless shower enclosure. DELANA handles the full conversion from demolition through to the final fixture installation, including any required plumbing permits.
