Dreaming of a bathroom makeover but dreading weeks of construction mess? Imagine completing your Vancouver bathroom renovation in 10 days instead of waiting a month or more. We’ve revolutionized the renovation game, delivering stunning transformations in less than two weeks while maintaining exceptional quality.
The Traditional Timeline vs. Vancouver Bathroom Renovation in 10 Days
Most contractors quote 3-6 weeks for a bathroom remodel, but we’ve cracked the code on faster delivery. Here’s why traditional renovations take so long:
- Uncoordinated scheduling between multiple contractors
- Delays in material availability
- Inefficient work processes
- Poor project management
- Extended waiting periods between phases
How We Complete Your Vancouver Bathroom Renovation in 10 Days
Our streamlined process transforms your space efficiently and professionally. Here’s our detailed timeline:
Days 1: Site Preparation and Demolition
On the first day of the project, we start the morning off by professionally protection of your home, including setting up flooring and surface protection in the work and common areas and creating safe access for entry to the work area. We also set up dust and debris protection measures.
The demolition process begins by careful removal of your existing fixtures, followed by removal of tiles throughout the floor and walls. Upon completion of demolition, we completely clean and sweet the site and inspect for any hidden issues that may be problematic in the future.
Day 2: Electrical and Plumbing Rough-in
We being the morning of the second day by inspecting the existing plumbing and electrical wiring in place to ensure compliance with current building codes.
Next, we update plumbing and electrical systems based on our design. This will include:
- Water lines and drainage for the sink
- Rough-ing in shower or bathtub trim kit
- Checking drainage for the shower/bathtub
- Relocating surface and recessed lighting (if/as needed)
- Relocating switches and outlets (if/as needed)
- Replacing the bathroom fan
Day 3: Dense-Shield
Day three is when we install Dense-Shield (water-resistant drywall) around your new bathtub or shower. This is first of three layers of water resistance and water proofing we apply for all of our bathroom renovations.
Day 4: Custom Shower Base and Waterproofing
On day 4, we will install your custom Schluter shower base and start applying Schluter paper (waterproofing) on the Dense-Shield walls around the bathtub or shower. This forms the second water resistant layer.
Day 5-6: Tiling
The third and final phase of waterproofing is the installation of wall and floor tiles throughout. This process typically takes two days, starting with the wall tiles, followed by floor tile installation.
Grouting is typically done on one of the latter days in the project, as we need to allow at least 24 hours for the tiles to set, prior to grout application.
Day 7: Vanity, Countertops, and Finishing Carpentry
This is a busy one. We start the morning off by installing your new vanity and countertops, followed by installation of all baseboards, trim, mirror, and bathroom accessories in the latter half of the day.
Day 8: Plumbing and Electrical Finishes
Once the tiles and countertops are in place, it’s time to start installing your new fixtures. Fixture installations on this day include:
- Shower Trim Kit (Including the valve, shower head, and tub spout)
- Sink and faucet
- Lighting
And any other specialized electrical and plumbing finishes that may be applicable to your project
Day 9: Touch-ups and Painting
Now we’re getting close. With all fixtures and finishes in place, it’s time to complete final touch-ups and apply two coats of fresh paint to make your bathroom look and feel brand new.
Day 10: Cleaning and Handover
On the tenth and final day of the project, we will have your new bathroom professionally cleaned and ready for your enjoyment.
Prior to handover, we will complete a detailed walk-through to ensure your new bathroom is everything you dreamt of and more.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Vancouver Bathroom Renovation in 10 Days
Is a 10-day renovation really possible without compromising quality?
Absolutely! Our 10-day timeline is the result of years of process optimization and team coordination. Unlike traditional renovations where trades work sequentially with gaps between phases, our specialized teams work in carefully orchestrated shifts with overlap where appropriate. We maintain quality through rigorous pre-planning, experienced team members, and daily quality control checks. Every renovation follows our proven systematic approach while meeting or exceeding industry standards.
What happens if you discover unexpected issues during the renovation?
Our extensive pre-planning process includes a thorough inspection before starting work, which helps identify potential issues early. However, we understand that surprises can occur in any renovation. That’s why we build small contingency buffers into our schedule and have emergency response teams on standby. If we discover any significant issues, we communicate them immediately and may need to extend the timeline, but this happens in less than 5% of our projects.
Do I need to move out during the 10-day renovation?
While you can stay in your home during the renovation, it depends on your specific situation. If this is your only bathroom, we recommend making arrangements for bathroom access, either through neighbors, family, or temporary facilities we can help arrange. Our dust containment systems and efficient work process minimize disruption to the rest of your home, but some clients prefer to stay elsewhere for greater comfort.
What kind of preparation is required to ensure the 10-day timeline?
Success depends on thorough preparation. We require all material selections and design decisions to be finalized at least two weeks before the start date. This includes choosing tiles, fixtures, vanities, lighting, and accessories. We provide a detailed pre-renovation checklist and work closely with you to ensure everything is ready. The bathroom should be completely cleared, and we need clear access paths through your home for material delivery and debris removal.
What if my renovation requires custom materials or special orders?
Our 10-day timeline begins once all materials are on-site. We work with you to select materials that align with both your design preferences and our timeline. For custom or special order items, we place orders well in advance and schedule your renovation start date only after confirming all materials have arrived. This ensures no delays once work begins. We maintain strong relationships with suppliers and often have access to expedited delivery options for specialty items.
