💬What People Actually Paid
Community❓Common Questions
Yes, the City of Vancouver requires permits for any plumbing changes, electrical work beyond fixture swaps, or structural modifications. Cosmetic updates like painting or replacing a vanity in the same spot typically do not, but permit fees for a mid-range project usually range from $900 to $1,300.
Condo projects often cost 20-30% more due to strict strata bylaws, limited working hours (typically 9am-5pm), elevator booking fees, and the complexity of working with concrete slabs which can add $3,000-$6,000 if moving plumbing lines.
A standard 3-piece bathroom renovation takes 3 to 6 weeks. Luxury ensuites or projects requiring custom glass and stone can take 8 to 12 weeks, especially considering current 2026 lead times for premium fixtures.
Homeowners in Metro Vancouver typically see a Return on Investment (ROI) of 60% to 80%. Updated bathrooms are a key selling point in the local real estate market and often lead to faster sales even if the full cost isn't recovered.
