Bathroom renovations are undoubtedly very difficult to do so and for such a critical job, it is important to bring in a team who exactly knows what they are doing. Renosgroup is one such group.
We proved our expertise again recently by completing a bathroom renovation in Bay Street, Ottawa. Although bathroom renovations usually often go in the same direction, this one was vastly different because the home that we are talking about was about 100 years old, meaning it had extremely old plaster.
Along with this, the bathroom also had lathe walls, thus making the renovation process trickier. Firstly, for this renovation, we decided to use new drywall and cement board. This helped in creating a stronger foundation for the bathroom and to get rid of the 100-year-old material that was lying around rotting.
After this, we installed a new soaker tub that was extremely Zen-like and added much-needed structure to the place. It also added to the utility of the bathroom. The next step after the tub was to add a tiled skirt. We decided that a combination of black and white tiles would be perfect for this. Once this was completed, we installed a new shower faucet and tiled the shower walls.
The tiles picked were extremely classy and allowed the bathroom to retain its modern yet classic vibe. Along with this, we also added a brand-new vanity for the sink. A mirrored medicine cabinet was also installed.
Lastly, a modern dual-flush toilet was installed to replace the old toilet. Dual-flush toilets are a great way to conserve water and should be added to every home!
Once we were done with this project, the transformation was surely a success. If you are also on the lookout for bathroom renovations like the one in Bay Street, Ottawa, give our team a call right now at (613) 727-9427 or fill out this online form for a free quote.

This section details a significant bathroom renovation project undertaken by RenosGroup on Bay Street in Ottawa. The focus is on transforming a century-old bathroom, highlighting the unique challenges presented by its original plaster and lathe walls. RenosGroup's approach involved meticulous planning and execution to overcome these obstacles, ensuring a modern and functional space while respecting the home's historical integrity.
The renovation addressed the structural weaknesses of the old walls by implementing new drywall and cement board, creating a robust foundation for modern fixtures. Key installations included a serene soaker tub, a stylish black and white tiled skirt, a contemporary shower, a new vanity, and an efficient dual-flush toilet. The successful completion of this project demonstrates RenosGroup's capability in handling complex renovations in older properties.
Renovating a bathroom in a 100-year-old home presents distinct challenges, primarily due to the original construction materials like plaster and lathe walls. These materials can be brittle, uneven, and may harbor hidden issues that require careful assessment and specialized techniques to address without compromising the home's structure or historical character.
RenosGroup tackled these challenges by opting for modern, reliable materials such as new drywall and cement board. This provided a stable and smooth surface for subsequent installations, ensuring longevity and a high-quality finish. This strategic choice allowed for the seamless integration of new fixtures like the soaker tub and modern shower, transforming the outdated space into a functional and aesthetically pleasing bathroom.
