Our Process

1

Consultation and Planning

We review your renovation plans, assess existing plumbing, and create a detailed scope of work. If you're working with a general contractor, we coordinate directly with their schedule.

2

Rough-In Plumbing

Before drywall goes up, we run new water supply lines, drain and waste pipes, and venting to match the new layout. We pull permits and schedule the rough-in inspection.

3

Fixture Installation

Once tiling and finishing are complete, we return to install toilets, vanities, faucets, showerheads, and any specialty fixtures. Every connection is pressure-tested for leaks.

4

Final Inspection and Walkthrough

We complete a final inspection, verify code compliance, and walk you through every fixture. You'll receive documentation for warranty registration and future reference.

Tools & Methods We Use

PEX Piping System

Flexible cross-linked polyethylene tubing is the modern standard for residential water supply — freeze-resistant, corrosion-proof, and faster to install than copper.

Thermostatic Shower Valves

Pressure-balanced and thermostatic valves maintain a constant water temperature, preventing scalding and improving comfort in multi-fixture bathrooms.

Low-Flow Fixtures

WaterSense-certified toilets, faucets, and showerheads reduce water consumption by up to 30% without sacrificing performance — good for the environment and your utility bills.

ABS/PVC Drain Systems

Modern ABS and PVC drain pipes are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and easy to reconfigure for new bathroom layouts — replacing outdated cast iron or galvanized steel.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a bathroom renovation take?
A basic bathroom refresh (new fixtures, paint, and hardware) takes 1 to 2 weeks. A mid-range renovation with new tile, vanity, and tub surround takes 3 to 4 weeks. A full gut-and-rebuild with layout changes takes 6 to 8 weeks. ProFlow handles the plumbing scope on a schedule coordinated with your general contractor.
Do I need a permit for bathroom renovation in Toronto?
Yes, if the renovation involves moving or adding plumbing fixtures, altering drain or vent piping, or changing water supply lines. The City of Toronto requires a plumbing permit under the Ontario Building Code for these changes. ProFlow handles the full permit process — application, inspection scheduling, and sign-off.
What's the ROI on a bathroom renovation?
According to the Appraisal Institute of Canada, a well-executed bathroom renovation typically recoups 60 to 70 percent of its cost at resale. A mid-range renovation ($15,000 to $25,000) tends to deliver the best return. Luxury finishes add enjoyment but recover a smaller percentage.
How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Toronto?
A basic refresh runs $5,000 to $12,000. A mid-range renovation with new tile, vanity, and fixtures costs $15,000 to $35,000. A full luxury renovation with layout changes can exceed $50,000. The plumbing portion alone typically runs $1,500 to $8,000 depending on scope.
Can you move plumbing for a new bathroom layout?
Absolutely. Relocating drains, water supply lines, and venting for a new layout is one of our specialties. Moving a toilet requires relocating the 3-inch drain line, which is the most complex part. ProFlow handles all the permitting and inspections required for plumbing relocations.
What bathroom fixtures give the best value?
WaterSense-certified toilets and low-flow showerheads save water without sacrificing performance, and they qualify for some municipal rebates. A quality single-handle faucet with ceramic disc cartridges will last 10+ years. Avoid the cheapest fixtures — mid-range brands like Moen, Delta, and Kohler offer the best balance of quality and cost.
Should I renovate my bathroom all at once or in phases?
All at once is usually more cost-effective because trades only need to mobilize once, and the plumbing rough-in happens before finishes go in. Phased renovations are possible but typically cost 15 to 20 percent more overall due to repeated setup and potential rework. ProFlow can help you plan either approach.
Do you work with general contractors on renovations?
Yes, ProFlow regularly partners with GTA general contractors on bathroom and kitchen renovations. We coordinate our rough-in and fixture installation schedules with their timelines to minimize delays and ensure seamless integration with other trades.
How do I choose between a bathtub and a walk-in shower?
Walk-in showers are trending for their modern look and accessibility, and they use less water. However, having at least one bathtub in your home is important for resale value, especially for families with young children. A tub-to-shower conversion in a secondary bathroom is a popular compromise.
Can you relocate plumbing for a new bathroom layout?
Absolutely. Moving drains, water supply lines, and venting is one of our specialties. We'll work with your renovation plans to ensure the new layout is both practical and up to code. We handle all the permits required for plumbing relocations.
Do you work with general contractors?
Yes, we frequently partner with GTA general contractors on renovation projects. We coordinate scheduling to minimize delays and ensure the plumbing work aligns perfectly with the overall renovation timeline.
How long does the plumbing portion of a renovation take?
The rough-in phase typically takes 1 to 2 days, and fixture installation takes another 1 to 2 days. These phases are usually separated by other renovation work (tiling, drywall). We'll coordinate timing with your project schedule.
Do you install heated bathroom floors?
While we don't install the heating elements themselves, we handle all the plumbing connections needed for hydronic heated floor systems. For electric heated floors, your electrician handles the installation, but we ensure the bathroom plumbing integrates properly with the overall design.
What permits are required for a bathroom renovation in Ontario?
Any renovation that involves moving or adding plumbing fixtures, altering drain or vent piping, or changing water supply lines requires a plumbing permit under the Ontario Building Code. We handle the full permit process — application, inspection scheduling, and sign-off — so you don't have to navigate municipal offices yourself.
How much does a plumber cost in Toronto?
Most GTA plumbers charge between $100 and $200 per hour, plus materials. A typical service call runs $150 to $350 depending on the job. ProFlow provides free written estimates before any work starts, so you always know the cost upfront.
Do I need a licensed plumber in Ontario?
Yes. Ontario law requires anyone performing plumbing work to hold a valid licence regulated by the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA). Unlicensed work can void your home insurance and create safety hazards. Every ProFlow technician is fully licensed and insured.
