Bathroom Renovations in Surrey, BC
Kyrax Developments handles bathroom renovations across Surrey — South Surrey, Newton, Panorama Ridge, and Cloverdale — as a licensed contractor, not a subcontracted crew. From a fixture refresh to a full gut-and-rebuild with a walk-in shower, we manage the permit, the trades, and the schedule under one accountable team.
A full bathroom renovation, start to finish.
Demolition & disposal
Full or partial demolition of existing tile, fixtures, and subfloor, with debris removal included in the scope.
Plumbing rough-in
Relocating a toilet, sink, or shower drain, or converting a tub to a walk-in shower, requires permitted plumbing work — we handle it directly.
Electrical & ventilation
GFCI-protected outlets, vanity lighting, and an exhaust fan sized correctly for the room — required by BC Building Code in every wet room.
Waterproofing & tile
A proper waterproofing membrane behind tile and around the shower base, installed before a single tile goes up.
Fixtures & vanity
Vanity, countertop, faucet, toilet, and shower or tub fixtures — sourced and installed to your selections.
Accessibility upgrades
Grab bar backing, curbless shower entries, and wider door clearances for aging-in-place or accessibility needs, planned in from the start.
From walkthrough to final tile.
Walkthrough & layout
We assess the existing plumbing wall, drain locations, and whether the layout can change without moving structure.
Design & permit
Fixture selection confirmed and, if plumbing is being relocated, a permit application submitted to the City of Surrey.
Demolition & rough-in
Old fixtures and tile removed, plumbing and electrical rough-ins completed and inspected before any surface goes back up.
Waterproofing & tile
Membrane, tile, and grout installed to manufacturer spec — the step most responsible for a bathroom lasting decades, not years.
Fixtures & final inspection
Vanity, toilet, and shower fixtures installed, final plumbing and electrical inspections booked, and the space handed back to you.
What's different about a Surrey bathroom renovation.
The City of Surrey requires a permit for plumbing relocation, new electrical circuits, and any structural change to a bathroom wall. A like-for-like fixture swap in the same location generally doesn't require one — we confirm which applies before quoting.
The BC Building Code requires mechanical ventilation in bathrooms without an operable window, sized to the room's volume. It's an easy detail to get wrong on a DIY renovation and a common reason renovations fail inspection.
Many homes in Newton and older parts of South Surrey have galvanized or polybutylene plumbing behind the walls. Once a bathroom is opened up, we flag any plumbing that should be replaced rather than reburied behind new tile.
If you're planning a bathroom as part of a larger addition or secondary suite rather than a standalone renovation, that scope is closer to our basement renovation or custom home work — worth mentioning when you reach out.
No two bathroom renovations price the same.
We don't quote a flat number for "bathroom renovations Surrey" because the scope varies enormously from one home to the next. These are the factors that move the estimate.
Layout change vs. like-for-like
Keeping the toilet, sink, and shower in their existing locations is far simpler than relocating drain lines to a new layout.
Fixture & tile tier
Vanity, tile, and fixture selections span a wide price range and are usually the single biggest line item in the budget.
Waterproofing & shower type
A curbless walk-in shower with a linear drain costs more to waterproof correctly than a standard tub-shower combo.
Plumbing relocation
Moving a drain or supply line — especially on a concrete slab — adds labour and permit time that a like-for-like swap avoids.
Permit & inspection fees
City of Surrey permit and inspection fees apply whenever plumbing, electrical, or structural work is part of the scope.
Accessibility upgrades
Grab bar backing, curbless entries, and wider doorways are straightforward to add during a renovation and costly to retrofit later.
Answers before you ask.
If the scope includes plumbing relocation, new electrical circuits, or structural changes, yes — the City of Surrey requires a permit. A like-for-like fixture and finish refresh usually doesn't. We confirm this during the walkthrough.
