What adds to the price
- Moving plumbing to a new layout adds about $2,400 – $6,000, plus a permit. This work is done by a licensed professional.
- A heated floor adds about $1,500 – $3,000. The electrical circuit is done by a licensed professional.
- Older homes often hide water damage, old pipes or old wiring behind the walls. GTA renovators advise keeping 10% to 15% of the project aside for these.
- Condos add board approval, elevator bookings and stricter working hours.
Do you need a permit?
Usually not, if the toilet, sink and tub or shower stay where they are. Moving plumbing, adding circuits or changing walls needs a permit. In Toronto the minimum building permit fee in 2026 is $214.79 (City of Toronto fee schedule). Other GTA towns set their own fees; budget $150 – $1,000 when plumbing moves.
How we work out these numbers
We read the prices that GTA renovation companies publish for each kind of bathroom job, keep only 2026 pages from businesses that do the work, and take the middle (median) of their ranges. Your finish level then places you in the lower, middle or upper part of that range. Every source, with the exact words we quote and the date we read it, is listed under the calculator result.
The calculator gives a budget range, not a quote. Hidden damage, your exact layout and the finishes you pick change the final price. A free in-home visit gets you a written estimate.
