There's a specific kind of frustration that comes from a bathroom renovation done by the wrong crew. Grout cracking at six months. Tiles coming loose in the shower. Water getting behind the walls. We've seen it, we've fixed it, and we've built our entire business around making sure it doesn't happen on your project.
Orleans Bath and Tile handles complete bathroom renovations across Orléans, Ottawa, Rockland, Kanata, Barrhaven, and the surrounding area. Whether it's a powder room update, a main bath refresh, or a full master ensuite transformation, every project is built on proper preparation, correct waterproofing, and materials chosen for the long term.
What a Renovation With Us Includes
Every project is scoped to your bathroom specifically. Here's what a typical full renovation looks like when we're involved:
Demo and Substrate Assessment
We don't tile over problems. If the subfloor is soft, the backer is wrong, or the shower curb isn't sloped correctly, we address it before the first tile goes down. This is where a lot of renovations go wrong — the visible part looks fine but the foundation was never right.
Waterproofing
Critical in any wet area. We use membrane systems and Schluter profiles to protect the full tile assembly — not just the tile surface. Tile and grout slow water down. A proper membrane stops it. This distinction matters when you're talking about the wall framing behind your shower. Every bathroom renovation we do in Orléans and Ottawa includes proper shower waterproofing — no exceptions.
Layout Planning
Tile layout is a visual decision made before any cutting starts. We plan it so patterns are centered, grout joints are consistent, and cuts fall where they make sense — not wherever the tape measure lands.
Installation
Floors, walls, shower surrounds, niches, benches, curbs — set with the right thinset for the application, correct coverage (95%+ in wet areas), and consistent joints throughout. No hollow tiles. No lippage on large format porcelain.
Trim and Transitions
Schluter profiles, thresholds, and transitions installed cleanly. These details are what make a finished bathroom look intentional rather than assembled.
Final Cleanup
Grout sealed where required, tile faces cleaned of haze and residue. We leave the bathroom ready to use — not ready for a second contractor to come finish what we started.
