Compact 3-piece hall and main-floor bathrooms—like those found in Allandale, Eastview, Sunnidale, Letitia Heights and Holly homes across Barrie—do not need to feel plain or cramped. By converting an unused alcove tub into a clear glass walk-in shower and pairing crisp white wall tile with a deep navy-blue vanity and warm brushed brass hardware, this 3-piece remodel gained both storage and visual character.

Deep navy shaker vanity and veined white quartz countertop

At the entrance to the bathroom, we installed a navy-blue shaker vanity configured to maximize storage in a compact footprint:

  • Full-extension side drawers and a two-door sink cabinet fitted with warm brushed brass pulls and knobs.
  • A white marble-look quartz countertop with subtle grey veining, an undermount ceramic basin and a single-lever brushed brass faucet.
  • A skirted one-piece toilet positioned between the vanity and the glass shower partition for easy cleaning.

Frameless glass walk-in shower with patterned feature wall and window bench

In the former bathtub alcove, our crew completed a down-to-the-studs tub-to-shower conversion over a continuous bonded waterproofing membrane:

  • A patterned botanical porcelain feature wall inside the shower paired with bright white surrounding wall tile.
  • A built-in waterproofed bench beneath the frosted window, tiled and capped with a solid white sill that slopes slightly toward the shower pan so water never pools.
  • 10 mm clear frameless tempered glass and brushed brass shower controls that let natural daylight from the window illuminate the whole room.

Permits and pricing for a 3-piece bathroom remodel in Barrie

Under the City of Barrie’s Residential Building Permits guidelines, replacing a vanity and toilet in the same spot does not require a building permit, while altering drain piping for a tub-to-shower conversion requires a permit through the City’s APLI portal; read our article on Barrie bathroom renovation permits.

Our published 7 x 9 ft main-bathroom labour package starts at $8,000 prior to finish materials, and compact 5 x 8 ft bathrooms range from $9,200 to $22,600 all-in depending on finish tier.
