Bathroom Renovations in Mississauga
Ensuite calls in Mississauga come mostly from 1980s and early 1990s houses in Meadowvale, Erin Mills and Streetsville. They have a drop-in jetted tub on a tiled deck and a cramped fibreglass shower, and owners want the tub gone. Condo bathrooms near Square One are the other half of the work, where a leak reaches the suite below.

What’s different in Mississauga
| Permit office | City of Mississauga Building Division (official site, opens in a new tab) |
|---|---|
| Permit trigger | A new bathroom, relocated drains or vents, or altered joists. Same-location fixture swaps need none. |
| Condo approval | The condo corporation approves before work starts. Many City Centre boards want a 24-hour flood test. |
| Joist direction | Meadowvale ensuites sit over the family room. A linear drain can avoid cutting joists. |
| Older fans | Many older Mississauga bathroom fans vent into the attic rather than outside. |
| Typical stock | 1950s Port Credit and Lakeview main baths. 1980s Meadowvale, Erin Mills and Streetsville ensuites. |
Worth knowing first
Protecting the suite below in a City Centre condo
In a tower near Square One or along Hurontario, your bathroom sits over someone else's ceiling. So the method matters more than the tile. We cap the supply lines, install a bonded membrane that turns up the walls at least 150 mm, and flood test the shower pan for 24 hours before tile. Most City Centre condo boards accept that test as part of their approval, and some send a superintendent to witness it. The property manager gets a photo record, our WSIB clearance and our liability certificate before demolition. Hurontario work-hour limits and the test add a few days to the schedule.
The scope, pricing tiers and 5-step process are the same everywhere we work. See Bathroom Renovations ›
Frequently asked questions
Bathrooms in Mississauga: three local questions
Yes. The old tub deck in an Erin Mills or Meadowvale ensuite leaves about 1.5 by 1.8 m, enough for a generous shower with a bench and niche. If the drain can move within the joist bay, costs stay around $28,000 to $45,000 before HST. If joists must be headed off, add engineering and a City of Mississauga permit.
Keep it if the enamel is sound and the tub sits level. Reglazing costs a fraction of a new soaker, and cast iron holds heat well. Replace it if the finish is chipped through, the drain is seized or you want a walk-in shower. In a 1950s Port Credit or Lakeview bungalow, removal means breaking the tub in place, about half a day. Galvanized supply lines get replaced at the same time.
Most cost $18,000 to $32,000 before HST without a rough-in. The extra comes from trenching the slab to the main drain, plus a sewage ejector if fixtures sit below the sewer line. Churchill Meadows and Lisgar homes often have a rough-in already, which saves $5,000 or more. Any new drain needs a City of Mississauga permit and an inspection before the slab is patched.
