Markham Bathroom Renovations — Unionville, Cornell & Berczy Village

Bathroom renovations across Markham — primary ensuite resets in Unionville, family bathrooms in Cornell and Berczy Village.

01Bathrooms in Markham

The local angle.

Markham bathrooms are most often renovations of homes built between 1990 and 2010 — generous primary ensuites with corner tubs and 1990s tile, family bathrooms shared by multiple kids, and a powder room near the front entry that has aged faster than the rest of the house. The brief usually covers all three at once on a Berczy Village or Cornell project: a primary suite reset, a family bath gut, and a quick powder room refresh on the same construction window.

Markham Building runs a clean residential permit process for bathroom plumbing and electrical work. Standard permits run 4 to 8 weeks. Unionville Heritage Conservation District projects add a Heritage Permit if the work affects exterior elements, which on a bathroom usually means a window change or a new exhaust termination.

Markham pricing in 2026 sits at the GTA average. A guest bathroom or powder room lands $20,000–$35,000; a primary ensuite with custom vanity, freestanding tub, and full-tile shower runs $40,000–$75,000.

A Markham bathroom renovation usually begins with the same realization: the corner tub built into the 1990s primary suite has not been used in years, and the bathroom is being designed around a fixture nobody touches. The renovation removes it, gives the space back to a generous walk-in shower with a bench and a niche, and finds room for either a freestanding tub elsewhere or — more often — none at all.

The plumbing work is the part that determines longevity. Capping the existing tub supply and drain lines, reframing the floor where the tub deck was set, and routing new supply and drain to the relocated fixtures requires a Markham plumbing permit and a rough-in inspection before the walls close. We schedule that inspection so it does not stall the tile crew.

The waterproofing standard we hold ourselves to is above what the Code requires. Schluter Kerdi on every wet wall, photo documentation in your closing package, and a warranty in writing that backs the install. A bathroom that leaks into the floor below is a problem we are not willing to ship.

The finish work — large-format porcelain, matte-black or unlacquered brass hardware, custom vanity millwork sized to the room rather than to a catalog — is what makes the renovated bathroom feel like the calm part of the day. We hold the spec from selection through final styling so the room you move back into matches the one we promised.
