Bathroom renovations in Hamilton
Albany Contracting Group does full bathroom renovations in Hamilton: we take the room back to what's solid, then build it up again. Tile, shower or tub, vanity, fixtures, light. Here's one we finished, frame by frame.
Which one sounds like yours?
We close the door when people come over.
Cracked grout, a vanity from another decade, a fan that hums and does nothing. It still works. You'd just rather nobody saw it.
The tub is ancient, and nobody takes baths anymore.
Most days it's a shower you step over a wall to reach. If that's your bathroom, a walk-in shower may be the whole job. See tub to shower conversions.
Something's soft under the tile.
A tile that moves, a stain on the ceiling below, a corner that smells damp. That's worth opening up before it spreads.
We want it easier to use as we get older.
No high tub wall, somewhere to sit, something to hold. More on that below, in plain words.
What we do
We plan the room around how you use it, then build it in this order.
- Strip it back. Old tile, fixtures and vanity come out, down to what's solid.
- Fix what we find. Whatever's behind the tile gets dealt with before anything new goes on it. If it changes the job, we talk it through with you first.
- Build it up. Shower or tub, tile, vanity, toilet, mirror, fan and lighting.
- Finish. Grout, caulk, glass, hardware. Then we clean up.
A bathroom that's easier to use
Planning for later years, or for a parent who lives with you? Tell us at the consultation. Things people ask us to plan in:
- a walk-in shower instead of a tub you have to climb into;
- a bench or seat in the shower;
- a grab bar where your hand goes anyway;
- a floor tile with more grip;
- better light, so the step and the edges are easy to see.
These are choices about the room, not a medical device. We build what you ask for and show you where it goes before it goes in.
Bathrooms are part of our interior renovations. Doing the kitchen too? See kitchen renovations.

What affects the cost of a bathroom renovation
Every bathroom renovation is priced at the free in-home consultation, once we've seen the job. These are what move the price:
- Size and scopeA new vanity and tile is one job. Moving the toilet or the shower is another.
- MaterialsTile, glass, fixtures and the vanity vary more than anything else in the room.
- Plumbing and layoutKeeping fixtures where they are costs less than moving the drains.
- AccessA second-floor bathroom up a narrow stair takes more carrying in and out.
- What we find once work startsOld houses hide soft subfloors and tired pipes. If we find something, we talk it through with you before we fix it.
- PermitsSome bathroom work needs one. Check whether your job needs a permit.

Joey and his team completed a bathroom for us. From beginning to end it was professional, his team were respectful of our home and the work was top notch. This was not just an updated bathroom but an expanded room as well so required moving a window, taking out a staircase etc etc. The project was completed on time and our vision was realized. Joey was able to source out the dream bathtub for the space too! This is the 3rd project we've completed with Joey and would not hesitate to call him for our next. Finding a great contractor is not always easy but we are fortunate that we found Joey! We will definitely be calling Albany and Joey for our next project.
Albany Contracting recently redid my bathroom, and I couldn't be happier with the results. They were professional from start to finish, always respectful of my home and keeping everything tidy throughout the process. Adam and the team finished the job on time and with great attention to detail. The quality of their work really shows, and the whole experience was smooth and stress-free. I would definitely recommend Albany Contracting to anyone looking for reliable and skilled contractors.

Questions we get
How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Hamilton?
Every bathroom renovation is priced at a free in-home consultation. The size of the room and the materials you pick change the price most. We measure, talk through what you want, and give you your price there. No obligation.
Do you do bathroom renovations for seniors?
Yes, we renovate bathrooms to be easier and safer to use as people get older. That usually means a walk-in shower, a seat, grab bars and a floor with more grip. We build what you ask for. It's a bathroom, not a medical device.
Can you turn my tub into a walk-in shower?
Yes. It's often a smaller job than a full renovation, and it has its own page: tub to shower conversions, linked above.
What's the best time of year to renovate a bathroom?
Any time: a bathroom is indoor work, so the weather doesn't decide it. We wrote about the best time of year to renovate, room by room.
