Bathroom Renovations Built for Burnaby Homes

Burnaby’s housing stock is one of the most varied in Metro Vancouver. We’ve worked across all of it and we know what each era of construction hides behind the tile.

Older detached homes (pre-1995)

1970s and 1980s bungalows in Edmonds and South Slope often have original three-piece bathrooms with compromised waterproofing, aging galvanised supply lines, and layouts designed for a different era. A proper renovation here doesn't just replace the tile — it finds the rotted subfloor, the corroded P-trap, the moisture damage that's been building for a decade. We fix what's behind the wall before we close it up.

Metrotown & Brentwood condos

The condo corridor along Kingsway, Imperial Street, and the Metrotown-to-Edmonds Station stretch is one of the most active bathroom renovation markets in Greater Vancouver. Owners are upgrading developer-grade bathrooms to match current resale expectations. We manage strata applications, City of Burnaby permits, and noise restrictions (typically 8am–5pm weekdays) without creating conflicts with building management.

One project manager, start to finish

Burnaby homeowners work with us because we don't disappear between the quote and the handover. One project manager owns your bathroom renovation from the first site visit to the day you use it for the first time with weekly progress updates and same-day responses throughout construction.

How a Burnaby Bathroom Renovation Works With Arani

Six stages, one team, one fixed price. No surprise invoices. No mystery subcontractors.

01

Free consultation

We visit your Burnaby home, assess the existing bathroom plumbing condition, waterproofing, electrical panel capacity, wall and floor structure and discuss what you want the space to become. Most consultations take 30–45 minutes. We give you an honest assessment and a ballpark range before we leave.

02

Design & fixed-price proposal

We develop the renovation plan: layout, tile selection guidance, fixture recommendations, and a detailed fixed-price proposal broken down by trade. If your design involves moving plumbing or adding electrical circuits, we flag this clearly. No line says "allowances to be determined."

03

Permit application - City of Burnaby

Any Burnaby bathroom renovation involving plumbing relocation, new electrical, or structural changes requires a City of Burnaby building permit. We prepare the application, submit to the City of Burnaby's Permits & Inspections Division, and manage the full approval process. Current permit processing typically takes 2–4 weeks.

04

Demolition, waterproofing & rough-in

We remove the existing bathroom to structure, install the waterproofing membrane across the full shower area and wet zones, complete the plumbing rough-in for inspection, and run any new electrical circuits. The City of Burnaby inspector signs off on the rough-in before tile goes down this protects your investment long-term.

05

Tile, fixtures & finishing

Tile installation, vanity and mirror installation, fixture rough-in, glass enclosure, heated floor thermostat, hardware, and final trim. Your project manager does a pre-handover walkthrough every grout joint, every silicone bead, every fixture alignment before calling you in.

06

Final inspection & handover

City of Burnaby final inspection completed. All trade warranties and permit documentation provided. We walk through the finished bathroom together and address everything before we close the project.

What Burnaby & Metro Vancouver Homeowners Say

“Arani completed our ensuite renovation in Burnaby on time and exactly to the quote. The tile work is exceptional better than anything I’ve seen in the neighbourhood. Pedram kept us updated every day, and the site was spotless throughout. I’ve already referred them to two neighbours.”

David K., Burnaby (Metrotown area)

“Our main bathroom was original 1978 pink tile, fibreglass tub, the whole thing. Arani did a complete gut and rebuild in six weeks. The waterproofing and permit process were handled without us lifting a finger. The result looks like it belongs in a luxury hotel.”

Sandra L., Burnaby (Edmonds)

How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Burnaby?

Do I need a permit for a bathroom renovation in Burnaby?

Yes, if your renovation involves moving a drain, relocating supply lines, or adding a new electrical circuit which covers most full bathroom renovations. The City of Burnaby’s Permits and Inspections Division issues residential bathroom permits. A rough-in inspection is required before tile is installed. Skipping the permit is the most common mistake homeowners make and the one that creates the largest problems at resale. Arani Construction handles the complete permit application and inspection coordination as part of every Burnaby bathroom renovation project.

How long does a bathroom renovation take in Burnaby?

A standard bathroom renovation in Burnaby takes 4–7 weeks of construction time once the City permit is approved. Permit approval for a residential bathroom renovation through the City of Burnaby currently takes 2–4 weeks. Custom tile work, custom vanity orders, or specialty glass enclosures can extend the construction timeline. For condo bathrooms requiring strata approval, add 2–4 weeks for the strata application process. We provide a project-specific schedule with milestones at the proposal stage.

Can I stay in my home while the bathroom is being renovated?

In most cases, yes especially for a single-bathroom renovation where we sequence the work to restore a functional toilet and sink as quickly as possible. For homes with multiple bathrooms, we typically keep one fully operational throughout. For a condo with only one bathroom, we discuss sequencing at the outset and can often complete the wet phase within a compressed window to minimize disruption. We’re honest about what’s practical for your specific layout.

What's included in Arani Construction's bathroom renovation quote?

Yes. We regularly complete bathroom renovations in Burnaby strata buildings particularly in the Metrotown, Brentwood, and Edmonds areas. For condo bathrooms, we prepare and submit the strata renovation application on your behalf, manage the City of Burnaby permit process, comply with the building’s noise and access restrictions, and waterproof the bathroom to a standard that protects both your unit and the one below. Contact us to discuss your specific building.

What tile works best for Burnaby bathroom renovations?

Large-format porcelain tile (600×1200mm or 800×800mm) is currently the most popular choice in Burnaby bathroom renovations it gives a clean, contemporary look and has fewer grout lines to maintain. Polished or honed marble is popular for ensuite feature walls and shower niches in higher-end renovations. For floors, we recommend a slip-resistant matte porcelain or textured natural stone, particularly in wet shower floors. We guide clients through tile selection based on their bathroom size, lighting, and maintenance preferences at the design stage.
