A Bath Fitter alternative in Ottawa gets you what an acrylic liner can't: a bathroom rebuilt down to the studs, waterproofed to code, and finished in real tile - for one fixed price you sign before we start. Liner systems bond a new surface over the old one in a day; that's fast, but it hides whatever is failing underneath and can't move a wall, a drain, or a fixture. We rebuild it properly, on a written completion date, with a 5-year warranty on the room.
What every bath fitter alternative ottawa job includes.
- Full tear-out of the old tub, tile, and surround
- Inspection of the studs, subfloor, and plumbing behind the wall
- Code waterproofing membrane before any tile goes up
- Real porcelain or ceramic tile - walls and floor
- New tub, shower, or curbless conversion - your choice of layout
- New vanity, faucets, lighting, and hardware
- Licensed plumbing and electrical with permits handled

Why Ottawa homeowners choose us.
Acrylic liner companies sell speed and a lifetime product warranty - but that warranty covers the acrylic, not the wall behind it. If the old surface was leaking, it still is. We're the alternative for Ottawa homeowners who want the problem fixed, not covered: one in-house crew, a real waterproofing system, and any layout you want instead of whatever the liner mould fits. Same written Triple Promise as every job we do - fixed price, on time, fully warrantied.

What bath fitter alternative ottawa costs in Ottawa.
$12,000–$30,000+
An acrylic liner tub-and-wall system in Ottawa often runs $4K–$10K for a same-day cover-up. A real rebuilt tub or shower with proper waterproofing and tile starts around $12K and lands in the $15K–$22K range for most homes - more for a full room or a curbless conversion. You pay more up front for a bathroom that's actually repaired and lasts, not resurfaced. The exact number is fixed in writing after the consult.

Straight answers, no fluff.
- Q.01
Why not just get a Bath Fitter liner - it's faster?
A liner is faster because it bonds a new acrylic surface over your existing tub and walls in a day. That's fine if what's underneath is sound. But it can't waterproof the wall behind it, can't move a drain or fixture, and hides any rot or mould instead of removing it. If the old surface was the problem, the liner just covers it. We remove and rebuild so the fix is permanent.
- Q.02
How much does a Bath Fitter cost in Ottawa vs. a real renovation?
Liner systems typically run $4K–$10K. A properly rebuilt tub or shower with code waterproofing and real tile starts around $12K and runs $15K–$22K for most Ottawa bathrooms. You're paying for the wall to be opened, inspected, waterproofed, and re-tiled - not resurfaced.
- Q.03
Can you do a curbless or walk-in shower instead of another tub?
Yes. Because we tear the space back to the studs, we can change the layout entirely - convert a tub to a walk-in or curbless shower, move the drain, and widen the entry. A liner is locked to the shape it's moulded for.
- Q.04
Is your work warrantied?
Yes - a 5-year written workmanship warranty on the whole room, plus full manufacturer warranties on every fixture and product we install. Certificates and WSIB clearance are available on request before you sign.
