Shower Renovation Ottawa

Why Homeowners Choose Shower Renovation


A shower is one of the most frequently used areas in any bathroom. Over time, grout cracks, waterproofing fails, tiles become outdated, and moisture damage can develop behind walls.


A professional shower renovation provides:


  • Improved waterproofing protection

  • Modern appearance and design

  • Easier cleaning and maintenance

  • Increased home value

  • Better accessibility and comfort

  • More efficient use of bathroom space



Many Ottawa homeowners choose to replace traditional bathtubs with spacious walk-in showers that create a more open and modern look.



Walk-In Shower Installation Ottawa


Walk-in showers have become one of the most requested bathroom upgrades in Ottawa.

Benefits include:

  • Sleek modern appearance

  • Frameless glass enclosures

  • Large format tile options

  • Built-in wall niches

  • Curbless shower entries

  • Easier accessibility for all ages


Our team can design a custom walk-in shower that perfectly fits your available space and matches the style of your home.



Our Shower Renovation Process


1. Demolition and Preparation


We carefully remove existing tile, shower walls, fixtures, and old waterproofing materials while protecting the rest of your home.


2. Structural Inspection


Before installing a new shower, we inspect framing, plumbing, and subfloors to ensure everything meets current building standards.


3. Waterproofing System Installation


Proper waterproofing is the most important part of any shower renovation.


We use professional waterproofing systems including:

  • Schluter Kerdi waterproofing

  • DensShield tile backer systems

  • Waterproof membranes

  • Premium sealants and waterproofing materials


This helps prevent leaks, mold growth, and costly future repairs.



4. Tile Installation


  • We install:

  • Porcelain tile

  • Ceramic tile

  • Large format tile

  • Mosaic shower floors

  • Accent walls

  • Decorative niches


All tile is installed using professional leveling systems and premium adhesives to ensure long-term durability.


5. Glass and Fixture Installation


The final stage includes installation of:

  • Frameless glass shower doors

  • Shower panels

  • Rain shower systems

  • Faucets and controls

  • Shelving and accessories


Custom Shower Design Options


Every homeowner has different preferences.


Popular shower features include:


Built-In Niches
