What's Included
Scope of Service
01
Waterproofing Is Not Optional — It's the Foundation
The most common failure in bathroom renovations is inadequate waterproofing. CoreVal installs continuous waterproofing membrane systems on every wet-area surface before a single tile goes up. We use industry-standard systems — Schluter DITRA and KERDI, Laticrete HydroBan, or equivalent — applied according to manufacturer specifications. Curbs are waterproofed. Niches are waterproofed. Floor-to-wall transitions are waterproofed. This isn't extra — it's essential, and it's standard on every CoreVal bathroom.
02
Tile Installation Done Right
Proper tile installation is part craftsmanship, part engineering. CoreVal's tile setters follow TCNA Handbook standards for substrate preparation, thinset selection, grout specification, and movement joint placement. Large-format tiles get a back-butter application for full coverage. Natural stone gets sealed properly. Shower floors get proper slope to drain. These details are invisible when done right — and painfully obvious when they're not.
03
Ventilation, Plumbing, and Systems That Perform
A beautiful bathroom with inadequate ventilation will grow mold. A bathroom with undersized drain lines will back up. CoreVal sizes exhaust fans to the room's cubic footage and ensures ducting runs to the exterior — not into the attic. Plumbing is installed with proper venting, slope, and access for future maintenance. Radiant floor heating is installed with tested systems and proper thermostatic controls. Every system is designed to perform for the life of the renovation.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Vancouver?
Bathroom renovations in Metro Vancouver typically range from $25,000–$75,000+ depending on size, fixtures, tile selections, and scope of plumbing work. CoreVal provides a detailed estimate after assessing your space and discussing your goals.
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
Most bathroom renovations take 3–6 weeks depending on scope. Projects requiring structural changes, plumbing relocation, or custom tile work may take longer. CoreVal establishes a realistic timeline upfront.
Can I convert a bathtub into a walk-in shower?
Yes. Tub-to-shower conversions are one of our most requested bathroom upgrades. CoreVal handles the plumbing relocation, waterproofing, drain installation, and tile work. We can also install a curbless (barrier-free) shower for accessibility.
Is heated flooring worth it in a bathroom?
Radiant in-floor heating is one of the highest-satisfaction upgrades in a bathroom renovation. The operating cost is minimal (typically $10–$20/month), and the comfort factor is significant, especially during Vancouver's cooler months. CoreVal installs electric radiant systems under tile with dedicated thermostatic controls.
