Planning a bathroom renovation?

Between luxury and nature, the bathroom becomes a haven of peace. Beyond its utilitarian function, it is also a great place to recharge. Whether a cozy retreat or a home spa, a Zen bathroom is primarily conducive to well-being. Easy to recreate at home, it takes on a myriad of forms and transports us from the boreal forests of Quebec to Eastern hammams.

In Canada, in 2026, the cost of renovating a walk-in shower generally ranges from $5,000 to $9,000 for a standard project, including materials and labour. For a high-end installation with premium materials, a linear drain, custom glass panels or built-in niches, costs can exceed $12,000. The final price depends mainly on the complexity of the waterproofing system, the choice of tile, the preparation of the subfloor and any required plumbing changes. For this type of project, it is recommended to hire a qualified contractor and, where applicable, licensed plumbing or electrical professionals to ensure the work complies with local building codes.

It shouldn’t be surprising that the bathroom is almost always the smallest space in the home. Even if you’ve been blessed with a big bathroom, this room needs to accompany plenty of competing features.
