Marpole Bathroom Renovation — Vancouver Special Ensuite Transformation

Project Overview

This Marpole bathroom project in a 1975 Vancouver Special illustrates the type of transformation VGC delivers in Metro Vancouver. Every project begins with a detailed pre-renovation assessment, transparent scoping, and permit coordination before any demo begins.

The Challenge

The existing 4-piece bathroom had a soaker tub that had never been used in 15 years and a single vanity serving a couple. Converting to a walk-in shower required rerouting the drain and relocating plumbing to accommodate a 48×36″ shower.

The Outcome

The master ensuite became a functional spa space: 48×36″ frameless glass walk-in shower with large-format grey porcelain tile, heated floor with programmable thermostat, 72″ double vanity in warm walnut finish, and ample storage.

What This Project Cost and Why

The total investment of $38,500 reflects the full scope: permits, demolition, structural work, trade rough-ins, materials, finishes, and project management. VGC’s transparent quoting process means this number was within 8% of the original estimate — typical for a project of this type.
