One Stop Bath is a bathroom renovation company serving Kitchener and Waterloo. A standard full bathroom renovation takes four to five days, and a tub-to-shower conversion takes three to four. Our installers are licensed, insured and BBB A+ rated, and we have been renovating bathrooms across Waterloo Region for more than 20 years.
A full bathroom renovation replaces everything inside the room tub or shower, vanity, toilet, flooring, lighting and waterproofing — while keeping the plumbing where it already is. That is most Kitchener and Waterloo homeowners want, and it is why a standard three-piece bathroom is finished in four to five days rather than in weeks quoted by contractors who sub out every project.
One Stop Bath does the work with our own licensed installers. There is no chain of subcontractors, no waiting between project, and one estimate that itemizes what you are paying for. If your project needs plumbing moved or a wall opened up, we will tell you before you sign, because that single decision changes both the cost and the timeline more than any other choice you will make.

A full bathroom renovation in Kitchener replaces the tub or shower, vanity, toilet, flooring and waterproofing in four to five days. What sits behind the wall varies by neighbourhood. Homes near Victoria Park, Central Frederick and the Civic District were built before 1960 and often still carry cast-iron drain stacks and galvanized supply lines. Forest Heights brings narrow three-piece layouts. Doon, Huron Park and the newer south-end subdivisions have straight forward plumbing but builder-grade fixtures now due for replacement.
That is why we quote after seeing the room a bathroom remodel in a 1940s Kitchener home and one in a 2005 build are not the same project.
A custom shower is built to the exact dimensions of your bathroom rather than fitted around a stock enclosure. That matters most in older Kitchener homes, where no two bathrooms are the same size and a prefabricated kit leaves dead space on one side that you can never get back.
A custom shower installation in Kitchener or Waterloo is usually completed within the same four-to-five-day window as a full bathroom, provided the plumbing stays where it is.

One Stop Bath renovates bathrooms throughout Waterloo, including full remodels, custom showers and accessible walk-in conversions. A standard Waterloo bathroom renovation takes four to five days from start to finish.
A standard tub-to-shower conversion takes three to four days from demolition to finished shower. That covers removing the existing tub, correcting the drain, waterproofing the walls, and installing the new base, surround and glass.
It is the most requested job we do in Waterloo, where late-80s and 90s homes came with corner whirlpool tubs that rarely get used. Replacing one with a walk-in shower recovers roughly a third of the floor area and removes the step-over that makes a tub difficult as people get older.
Waterloo’s bathrooms present a different problem from Kitchener’s. Much of the city was built after 1980, so the plumbing behind the wall is usually modern copper or PEX and rarely holds surprises. What it does hold is the oversized corner whirlpool tub that came standard in late-80s and 90s builds across Laurelwood, Beechwood and Lakeshore — a fixture almost nobody uses, taking up a third of the room. Converting one to a walk-in shower is the single most common Waterloo bathroom renovation we are asked for, and it takes three to four days.
Uptown Waterloo and the older streets near the universities are the exception. Century homes and converted properties there need the same careful approach as central Kitchener, and often the same allowance for what is behind the tile.

Have questions about renovating your bathroom or kitchen? Here are the answers our clients across Toronto, Durham Region, Peel Region, Halton, Waterloo Region, Hamilton, and the GTA ask us most.
Look for a contractor who is licensed, carries liability insurance and WSIB coverage, and gives you an itemized written quote rather than a single lump-sum number. Ask to see completed bathrooms in your own city, not a generic portfolio. One Stop Bath’s installers are licensed and verified, hold a BBB A+ rating, and have been renovating bathrooms across Kitchener and Waterloo for over 20 years. Before you sign anything, ask any contractor for proof of insurance and the written warranty covering both labour and materials.
A professional bathroom renovation in Kitchener-Waterloo typically costs $15,000–$30,000 for a standard full bathroom. Cost depends mainly on scope — a cosmetic update versus a full gut — and on whether the plumbing is relocated. Keeping fixtures in their existing positions is the single largest saving available on any bathroom project.
A $15,000 bathroom remodel covers a mid-range cosmetic-to-moderate update, not a full gut renovation. It includes a new vanity, toilet, faucet, mirror, lighting and standard vinyl tile flooring, with existing plumbing locations left unchanged. It does not cover moving plumbing, custom tilework or premium finishes — those push the total to $15,000–$20,000 and above.
No, $5,000 is not enough for a basic cosmetic refresh. A full bathroom remodel in Kitchener-Waterloo starts at $15,000 once plumbing, labour and materials are accounted for.
You need a building permit in Kitchener or Waterloo if your renovation relocates plumbing, alters electrical, or changes structure. Cosmetic work — new tile, a new vanity, or fixtures replaced in their existing positions — does not require one. Under the Ontario Building Code, standard residential permit applications are reviewed within roughly 10 business days. Unpermitted plumbing or structural work can also complicate a home insurance claim later.
A standard bathtub-to-shower renovation typically takes three to four days to complete. A full three-piece bathroom renovation takes four to five days. A fully gutted bathroom renovation with plumbing relocation can take up to two weeks. These timelines assume a best-case scenario; many other factors can change the timeline of a project.
A custom bathroom in Kitchener-Waterloo starts at $17,000. "Custom" means the shower, vanity and storage are built to your room’s actual dimensions rather than dropped in as a stock kit — which matters most in older Kitchener homes where no two bathrooms are the same size. One Stop Bath builds custom showers in acrylic, tile and cultured marble, with frameless or semi-frameless glass, built-in shelving and benches, and low-profile or zero-threshold entry.
Renovating is cheaper than replacing, because keeping fixtures in their existing locations avoids costly plumbing relocation. A standard renovation in Kitchener-Waterloo costs $12,000–$15,000, while relocating plumbing or carrying out a full gut runs $25,000–$50,000 and above.
