Are you considering a bathroom renovation in Montreal or on the South Shore , but wondering how much it will actually cost? The price of a bathroom renovation varies depending on the materials, options, and level of customization you choose.
With Bonbain Construction , we guide you step by step to estimate your budget based on your preferences. By the end of this guide, you'll know the true cost of your renovation based on your choices—whether it's a small bathroom , a high-end bathroom, or a complete remodel including plumbing .
1. Factors that determine the price of a bathroom renovation
The final cost depends on several factors:
Bathroom size (small, medium, large)
Types of materials (entry-level, standard, high-end)
Plumbing and electrical work (modifications or not)
Choosing your shower , bath , and bathroom finishes
Optional additions such as heated floors , a smart toilet , or a custom vanity unit
Let's now see how much you need to budget depending on the options you choose.
2. Average price of a bathroom renovation in Montreal
Budget renovation (entry-level) : $22,000 to $27,000
Standard renovation (mid-range) : $27,000 to $35,000
High-end renovation (luxury materials) : $35,000 to $50,000+
Why such a variation? Let's review the main choices that influence your budget.
3. Make your choices: determine your budget
A. Will the current layout be retained?
Yes, we're keeping the existing plumbing = $0 extra
No, we're changing the location of the shower, sink drain , or bathtub = +$3,000 to $5,000
Keeping the bathroom plumbing as is can significantly reduce costs.
B. Choose your shower or bathtub
Standard acrylic bathtub = $800 to $1,500
Shower with acrylic base = $600 to $3,000
Ceramic shower with glass door = $5,500 to $7,000
Fully custom walk-in shower = $7,000 to $15,000+
An acrylic shower base is often more affordable, durable, and easier to maintain than a tiled base. It reduces the risk of water seeping into the bathroom .
C. Select the type of tile
Standard ceramic tiles = $4 to $10/sq ft
Bathroom porcelain (more durable and aesthetically pleasing) = $4 to $20/sq ft
Natural stone = $15 to $50/sq ft
Large tiles require less grout, which makes maintenance easier and gives a more modern look.
D. What type of vanity unit do you prefer?
Laminate vanity unit = $500 to $1,500
Solid wood vanity with quartz countertop = $2,500 to $5,000
Custom vanity = $5,000 and up
A quartz bathroom countertop is an excellent choice for its durability and easy maintenance.
E. Add or not extras for added comfort
Heated floor = +$1,500 to $3,000
Smart toilet with integrated bidet = +$1,000 to $2,500
Bathroom wall lighting (integrated LED) = +$500 to $1,500
High-end faucets (matte black, brushed gold) = +$800 to $2,000
Small details like a wall light , heated floor or designer faucets add comfort and style without requiring a huge budget.
4. Example of a final budget
Let's imagine you choose:
A shower with an acrylic base ($3,000)
Porcelain tiles ($2,500)
A vanity unit with a quartz countertop ($4,500)
A new bathroom layout ($5,000)
Heated floor heating ($2,500)
Your bathroom renovation in Montreal will cost approximately $30,000 to $35,000 .
If you opt for more economical choices (acrylic shower base, simple tiling, laminate vanity), your budget will be more in the range of $25,000 to $30,000 .
