Your Etobicoke home has the bones — a good-sized master bedroom, a main bath that used to be enough, and a layout that made sense in 1965. What it does not have is the bathroom you actually want to use every morning. GoGajic Construction renovates bathrooms throughout Etobicoke — from master ensuite additions in Kingsway detached homes to full main bath rebuilds in Long Branch bungalows — with a full in-house crew, no travel surcharges, same-week estimates, and a 5-year warranty on all work.
Why Etobicoke Homeowners Choose GoGajic for Bathroom Renovations
Etobicoke bathroom projects tend to fall into two categories: older bungalows in Alderwood, Mimico, and New Toronto where the main bathroom is the only bathroom and it needs a complete rebuild; and larger homes in the Kingsway and Stonegate area where the ask is a master ensuite addition or a full primary bathroom upgrade. GoGajic handles both — with the same in-house crew, the same written estimate process, and the same 5-year warranty.
- No travel surcharge. Etobicoke bathroom projects are priced on scope, not distance from downtown Toronto.
- Ensuite addition expertise. GoGajic has added ensuite bathrooms to Etobicoke bungalows where no ensuite previously existed — including the plumbing rough-in, electrical, and framing to create the bathroom within an existing bedroom footprint.
- Proper waterproofing on every project. GoGajic uses membrane waterproofing systems on all tiled surfaces. In Etobicoke’s older homes, moisture behind the original tile surround is the rule, not the exception — and the waterproofing is what determines whether the renovation lasts 5 years or 25.
- 5-year warranty. All labour and installed materials are warranted for 5 years on every Etobicoke bathroom project.

How GoGajic Handles Bathroom Renovations in Etobicoke Homes
The two most common Etobicoke bathroom projects have different starting points.
Main bathroom rebuild (Alderwood, Long Branch, Mimico bungalows): Many Etobicoke post-war bungalows have a single main bathroom with the original cast-iron tub still in place. The approach depends on whether the homeowner wants to keep a tub or convert to a walk-in shower. GoGajic assesses the subfloor condition first — cast-iron tubs in original positions often have decades of water infiltration around the surround that has softened the subfloor. Subfloor replacement is scoped and priced before demo day.
Master ensuite addition (Kingsway, Stonegate, Islington Village): Adding a master ensuite to an Etobicoke home where none currently exists involves identifying available space within the master bedroom footprint, running new plumbing from the nearest stack, adding an electrical circuit for the GFCI outlets and exhaust fan, and building a full tiled bathroom within that space. GoGajic handles the design, permits, and construction as a single project.
For both project types, the sequence is: site assessment → written estimate → permit (if required) → demolition → waterproofing and rough-in → tile and finish installation → final walk-through.
Most Etobicoke main bathroom rebuilds fall between $18,000 and $35,000. Ensuite additions range $28,000–$50,000 depending on size and finish specification. Request a free bathroom consultation and GoGajic will visit the home within the week.
Bathroom Renovation Pricing for Etobicoke Homeowners
Bathroom renovation costs in Etobicoke are consistent with Toronto pricing. A powder room renovation runs $8,000–$15,000. A full main bathroom rebuild runs $18,000–$35,000. A master ensuite renovation or addition runs $28,000–$55,000. For a detailed breakdown by bathroom type with line-item cost tables, see the bathroom renovation cost guide for Toronto.
In Etobicoke bungalows specifically, the most consistent cost add-on is subfloor replacement ($800–$2,500) when original tub surrounds have caused moisture damage beneath the floor. GoGajic identifies and prices this during the site assessment.

What Etobicoke Homeowners Ask Before Booking a Bathroom Renovation
Can GoGajic add a master ensuite to my Etobicoke bungalow where there is no ensuite?
Yes. GoGajic has added ensuites to Etobicoke bungalows where the only bathroom was the main hall bath. The process involves assessing whether sufficient space exists within the master bedroom footprint to accommodate a functional ensuite (typically a minimum of 35–40 square feet), then running new plumbing from the nearest stack. The permit is required for the new plumbing. A complete ensuite addition in an Etobicoke bungalow typically runs $28,000–$45,000 depending on size and finish.
My Etobicoke home’s main bathroom has the original pink tile from 1960. Should I tile over it or remove everything?
GoGajic removes it. Tiling over 1960s ceramic tile does not allow inspection of the waterproofing beneath, adds weight the subfloor may not be designed to carry, and results in a finish that fails within a few years as the underlying substrate degrades. Full demolition to the studs takes an additional half-day of labour and is always the right decision for a bathroom renovation that is meant to last 20+ years.
Do I need a permit for a bathroom renovation in Etobicoke?
If you are replacing fixtures in the same locations, no permit is required. If you are adding a new bathroom where none existed, moving plumbing, or adding new electrical circuits — yes, a City of Toronto building permit is required. GoGajic pulls all required permits as part of the project scope and manages the inspection process through to final sign-off.
