A clearer bathroom renovation process — from concept to completion.
Fully Insured | Locally Operated
What a well-run bathroom renovation looks like
Most bathroom-renovation stress comes from decisions made too late, unclear expectations, work that is not planned in the right order, and pricing that changes without explanation.
Clarity Contracting plans the important details before demolition begins, confirms selections in writing, and keeps the work organized from start to finish. If something unexpected is found behind the walls, you hear about it before it affects your budget — not after.
What clients say
Linda M. — Bathroom, Kitchen & Dining Room Renovation
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Google Review
"Clarity Contracting listens. As a woman who has had her fair share of dealings with contractors who were dismissive of my questions and comments, I found dealing with this contracting firm refreshing and wonderful. He listened to my ideas, gave me options, and was a joy to work with. My husband was a bit nervous about budget. They took the time to confirm costs and kept our work on budget, making us aware of any changes that might happen before proceeding. A rare quality among contractors, believe me."

"We hired Clarity Contracting for a major renovation after meeting with several companies. From the start, Clarity Contracting was not only the most detailed in the quote but the most committed to the success of the project. There were a few bumps along the way, but they worked through them with us, ensuring we were always on the same page. Any concerns we had were quickly addressed and we ended up with a gorgeous result."
Recent builds
Many of our clients combine bathroom and kitchen renovations or other home improvements under one project. If you're planning more than one scope, we coordinate it all together.
If your bathroom project is still a set of ideas rather than a defined scope, start with the BuildReady Blueprint — the planning stage, offered on its own.
A process built on clarity
A bathroom renovation goes more smoothly when the important decisions are made before work begins. We talk through the layout, shower, tile, fixtures, lighting, and any plumbing or electrical changes before the schedule is set.
Whether you are updating an existing bathroom or starting over completely, we make sure you know what is happening, what is included, and what comes next. That means fewer surprises during the work and a clearer path from demolition to a finished bathroom.
From concept to completion
Book a Free Consultation
We come out, walk the space, and listen to what you want to accomplish. We take measurements, assess the existing plumbing and layout, and put together a a detailed estimate with price ranges based on current material and trade costs — itemized by category, not a number pulled from thin air.
Pre-Construction & Design
This is where your numbers get costed and verified. We verify every scope item, coordinate trade walk-throughs, and finalize all selections — layout, tile, vanity, fixtures, flooring, lighting, and waterproofing details. Everything confirmed in writing before we produce your firm quote.
We Get to Work
Bathrooms involve multiple trades in a specific order. We coordinate protection and demolition, waterproofing, plumbing, electrical, tile, vanity and fixture installation, and finishing work so your project flows with clarity and by design.
Your Bathroom, Finished
The work is done, the trades are gone, and the space is exactly what you signed off on. No gaps, no unfinished details — just a bathroom that works the way you intended from day one.
Questions worth asking
How much does a bathroom renovation cost in BC?
The bathroom is the most expensive room in a home to renovate per square foot. Every trade is involved — plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tile, and finish carpentry — compressed into a small space where the sequencing has to be right and the waterproofing has to be done properly the first time. Bathrooms are often deep in the home, requiring floor, wall, and dust protection from the entry door through every corridor to the work area — protection that adds time and material to every job.
A full bathroom renovation in the Comox Valley in 2026 realistically starts around $20,000 for a straightforward refresh — new flooring, fixtures, vanity, and finishes in the same footprint. Layout changes, curbless shower installations, in-floor heating, and premium fixture selections push that number significantly higher. A full primary bathroom renovation with a custom curbless shower and high-end finishes can reach $50,000 to $60,000 and beyond.
The spread is wide because the variability is high. A precise number comes from a detailed estimate, not a square footage calculation.
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
A full bathroom renovation typically runs 3 to 6 weeks depending on the work involved and trade sequencing. A straightforward fixture and tile replacement moves faster than a full layout change with new plumbing, electrical upgrades, and a custom curbless shower installation.
How do I compare bathroom renovation quotes?
Different contractors price bathroom renovations differently. Some include waterproofing, in-floor heating, and tile labour as standard scope. Others price the shell and leave selections, specialty installations, or trade coordination to you. A quote that looks lower may simply be less complete.
Compare what's written in the scope before you compare the numbers. A bathroom renovation has enough variables — layout changes, shower design, fixture grade, hidden conditions — that two quotes for the "same job" can reflect very different projects. The scope beside the price is what you're buying. What isn't written usually isn't included.
What is included in a full bathroom renovation?
Everything. Demo, waterproofing, plumbing, electrical, in-floor heating, tile, vanity, fixtures, flooring, drywall, and trim — coordinated and sequenced by one contractor from start to finish. No trade waiting on another, no gaps in project scope left incomplete for the client to manage.
Clients can supply certain items directly — fixtures, mirrors, or specialty products they've sourced themselves. The supply cost for those items is simply deducted from the project total. All selections should be confirmed before the project schedule is set. If a client-supplied item materially changes the planned sequence of work after the project is underway, that may affect the project cost downstream.
Do I need a permit for a bathroom renovation?
Most bathroom renovations that involve electrical, plumbing, structural, or layout changes require permits — municipal trades authority or both. A like-for-like renovation in the same footprint with no trade or structural work typically doesn't. Clarity Contracting handles the coordination — if your project needs permits, we'll tell you what's required and make sure the right ones are in place before work begins.
What hidden problems come up in bathroom renovations?
Mold and water damage behind tile and drywall, subfloor rot from years of slow leaks, and out-of-date plumbing and electrical that needs to be brought up to code — any of these can appear once demo begins. We include a contingency line in every bathroom estimate specifically because hidden conditions are common, not exceptional. When something comes up behind the walls, you hear about it before it affects your budget.
Should I get a curbless shower or a standard shower?
There are good reasons for both. If you have the budget for a fully custom shower and love the look, a curbless design is worth it. If you have mobility concerns, it is an excellent long-term investment. If you are working with a tighter budget but need better accessibility, low-profile prefabricated shower pans are a far more affordable option that still removes the step. The right choice comes down to needs, budget, and preference.
