7 Advantages of a Tub to Shower Conversion in Toronto

What to Look For in a Bathroom Renovation Contractor

Bathrooms live or die on waterproofing.

We tank the shower or tub surround properly, slope the mud bed to the drain, and use a proper vapour barrier before a single tile goes up — the stuff that's invisible once the room is done but is the difference between a bathroom that lasts 20 years and one with a rotting subfloor in 3.

We handle vanity plumbing, exhaust fan venting to the exterior (not just the attic), heated floors, and accessible/aging-in-place upgrades like curbless showers and grab bar blocking.

Questions Worth Asking Before You Sign

Ask for a written, itemized quote — not a verbal ballpark — and confirm what's included versus what's an allowance. Ask how change orders are priced before you need one, not after.

For bathroom renovation specifically, ask how lead times on materials are handled: a contractor who orders early and builds the schedule around real delivery dates will hit their timeline far more often than one who doesn't.

How much does a bathroom renovation cost?

It depends heavily on whether the layout changes (moving the toilet or shower drain adds plumbing cost) and finish level. We give a fixed-price quote after seeing the space, not a ballpark over the phone.

Can you make my bathroom accessible for aging in place?

Yes — curbless walk-in showers, blocking for future grab bars, comfort-height toilets, and non-slip flooring are all common requests and easy to build in from the start.

Red Flags Worth Watching For

A verbal-only estimate, pressure to sign the same day, or a quote with no material allowances listed are all worth pausing on. A contractor confident in their pricing will put it in writing without being asked twice.

Serving Toronto for Bathroom Renovation

Toronto is Present Day Contracting's home market — no travel required, and no surcharge.

We also regularly work in Etobicoke (about 11 km away), North York (about 12 km away), so a project just outside Toronto proper is still well within range.

What to Expect When You Contact Present Day Contracting

Present Day Contracting starts every project the same way: a walkthrough or a detailed phone consultation to understand scope, followed by a written, itemized estimate — free, with no obligation to book. Once a project is confirmed, you get a real schedule with trade sequencing, not a vague window.

We communicate changes before they happen, not after, and we don't sub out the parts of the job that matter most. If a question comes up mid-project, you talk to the person doing the work — not a call centre.

Where We Work

In addition to Toronto, Present Day Contracting works throughout Toronto and the wider service area, including Etobicoke, North York, Scarborough, Mississauga, Vaughan. If you're unsure whether your address is covered, call and we'll confirm.
