Bathroom Plumbing Renovation in Gatineau: Transform Your Space
A bathroom renovation can transform one of the most-used rooms in your home, improving both function and aesthetics. But behind every beautiful bathroom is essential plumbing that makes it all work. Whether you're updating fixtures, reconfiguring the layout, or completely gutting the space, the plumbing work is critical to success. Plombier Gatineau provides comprehensive bathroom plumbing renovation services throughout Gatineau, working with homeowners and general contractors to deliver excellent results.
Planning Your Bathroom Renovation
Layout Changes
Moving a toilet, sink, or shower changes the plumbing rough-in—the pipes in the walls and floor. While possible, relocating fixtures significantly increases complexity and cost. We help you understand the implications of layout changes and suggest configurations that balance your desires with practical considerations.
Fixture Selection
Modern bathroom fixtures come in countless styles and configurations. From the plumbing perspective, we ensure the fixtures you choose are compatible with your existing rough-in or plan appropriate modifications, meet code requirements, offer reliable performance from quality manufacturers, and are properly sized for your space and usage.
Code Compliance
Bathroom plumbing must meet building codes. This includes proper venting for drainage, adequate water supply sizing, specific requirements for fixture spacing, and water-efficient fixtures in many jurisdictions. As licensed plumbers, we ensure all work is code-compliant.
Bathroom Renovation Plumbing Services
Toilet Services
We provide toilet installation, including comfort-height models, wall-hung toilets (which require special carriers in the wall), water-efficient models, and smart toilets with bidet functions. If your toilet location is changing, we rough-in new drain and supply lines.
Shower and Tub
Shower and tub work can include new shower valve installation, conversion from tub to shower (or vice versa), custom shower configurations with multiple heads, showerhead and handheld installation, and body spray installation. Shower plumbing is behind the wall, so we coordinate timing with tile and finish work.
Vanity and Sink
Sink installation includes drain and supply connections, faucet installation, and pop-up drain assembly. For double vanities or vessel sinks, we ensure proper sizing and configuration.
Supply Line Upgrades
Renovation is an ideal time to upgrade old supply lines, add shutoff valves, or resize supplies for better pressure. If you have galvanized or polybutylene piping, we can replace it with modern PEX or copper.
Drain and Vent Work
Proper drainage and venting are essential. We ensure all fixtures drain properly and are vented to prevent siphoning and sewer gas entry. Learn about proper sewer gas prevention.
Working With Your Contractor
If you have a general contractor managing your renovation, we coordinate closely with them. Plumbing rough-in needs to happen at specific stages—after demolition but before wall closing. Final fixture installation comes after tile, paint, and flooring. We're experienced with the renovation sequence and work smoothly with other trades.
DIY Renovators
If you're managing your own renovation, we can handle all plumbing aspects while you tackle other work. We'll advise on timing, explain what needs to be ready before each phase, and ensure the plumbing integrates properly with your project.
Small Bathroom Upgrades
Not every bathroom project is a complete gut renovation. We also handle fixture replacements (new toilet, vanity, or faucets), faucet and showerhead upgrades, toilet-to-bidet conversions, accessibility modifications for aging in place, and simple updates that refresh the space without major construction.

We provide bathroom plumbing renovation services throughout Gatineau, Hull, Aylmer, Chelsea, and surrounding areas.
