Richmond Bathroom Renovation Contractor You Can Rely On

Bathroom renovations fail when planning is loose—missed waterproofing steps, unclear scope, poor trade coordination, and surprise costs behind the walls. Our process prevents that.

With QUAY, you get:

  • A defined scope (what’s included + what isn’t) before demolition

  • A realistic schedule with milestones (demo → rough-ins → waterproofing → tile → finishing)

  • Trade coordination + inspections planned upfront

  • Strata documentation support when required (insurance/WCB, scope, drawings/specs)

  • Jobsite protection, daily cleanup, and clear communication

If your bathroom renovation is part of a larger condo or home upgrade, we also coordinate full-scope projects through our Condo Renovation Richmond and Kitchen Renovation Richmond services—ensuring trades, schedules, and approvals stay aligned across your entire property.

Quick Answers: Richmond Bathroom Renovations

How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Richmond?

A full bathroom renovation in Richmond typically costs $25,000–$45,000+, depending on finishes and scope. Primary ensuites often range $40,000–$75,000+, while powder rooms usually fall between $15,000–$25,000. Costs increase when plumbing, electrical, or layouts change.

How long does a bathroom renovation take in Richmond?

Most bathroom renovations take 3–6 weeks of construction once selections and approvals are complete. Condo renovations may take longer due to strata work-hour limits, elevator bookings, and approval timelines.

Do I need permits for a bathroom renovation in Richmond?

Permits may be required if your renovation involves plumbing, electrical, ventilation, or structural changes. Cosmetic upgrades usually don’t require permits. We identify permit requirements early and coordinate inspections when needed.

How long does strata approval take for Richmond condo bathrooms?

Strata approval timelines typically range from 2–4 weeks, depending on the building. Submitting a complete package (scope, drawings, insurance, WorkSafeBC) helps avoid delays.

What Makes Richmond Bathroom Renovations Unique

Richmond bathrooms come with real constraints we plan for early:

  • Condos + strata rules: approvals, working hours, protection standards, elevator bookings

  • Ventilation + moisture control: essential in bathrooms to prevent long-term damage

  • Permits + inspections: common when plumbing/electrical/ventilation changes are involved

  • Logistics: City Centre and high-density areas require delivery + disposal planning

  • Older homes: hidden issues behind walls can exist—planning reduces surprises
