Yaletown Condo Bathroom Renovation Before & After | 10-Day Transformation
At QUAY Construction, we recently completed this full condo bathroom renovation in Yaletown in just 10 days — from demolition and design coordination to tile installation, plumbing fixtures, glass, and finishing details.
The original bathroom felt dated, visually heavy, and lacked the clean functionality many modern condo owners are now looking for in downtown Vancouver renovations. Our goal was to create a brighter, more refined, and more functional bathroom while maximizing the feeling of space within the existing layout.
This project included:
Large-format tile installation
Frameless glass shower enclosure
Modern plumbing fixtures
Custom vanity installation
Waterproofing upgrades
New lighting and electrical
Modern finish selections throughout
As a team that specializes in condo bathroom renovations throughout Vancouver, we understand the importance of careful planning, strata coordination, and efficient scheduling when renovating occupied condo buildings in areas like Yaletown.
The Vision Behind This Yaletown Bathroom Renovation
Many condo bathrooms in Yaletown were originally built with builder-grade materials, limited lighting, outdated tile selections, and layouts that no longer meet the expectations of today’s homeowners.
For this project, the homeowners wanted a bathroom that felt brighter, cleaner, and more refined while maximizing functionality within the existing footprint. Since the condo was occupied throughout the renovation, careful planning and scheduling were essential to minimize disruption and ensure a smooth construction process.
Our team managed every stage of the renovation, including design coordination, demolition, waterproofing, tile installation, plumbing, electrical work, glass installation, painting, and finishing details. The entire bathroom was completed in just 10 working days.
The result is a modern and durable bathroom designed to serve the homeowners for many years while increasing both everyday comfort and long-term property value.
Before & After Transformation
The original bathroom featured builder-grade finishes, dated materials, limited storage, and an overall design that no longer reflected the quality of the rest of the home. By carefully redesigning the space and selecting modern finishes, we were able to dramatically improve both aesthetics and functionality while maintaining the existing layout.

Challenges & Solutions
Like many older Yaletown condos, the original bathroom had limited storage, dated finishes, and a layout that no longer met the homeowners’ needs. Working within an occupied condominium building also required careful scheduling, material deliveries, and coordination with strata requirements.
To maximize both functionality and visual appeal, we redesigned the bathroom using large-format tile, a custom vanity with improved storage, updated plumbing fixtures, and a frameless glass tub enclosure. The lighter colour palette helped create a brighter and more spacious feeling without changing the existing footprint of the room.
Throughout the renovation, special attention was given to waterproofing, ventilation, and long-term durability to ensure the finished bathroom would remain low-maintenance and functional for years to come.
