    Why Convert Your Tub — and What We Can Do

    1. Accessibility & safety. Low-threshold or curbless entry, anti-slip tile, seating, and grab bars make the shower safer for seniors, for people with limited mobility, and for homeowners planning to age in place.

    2. More space & style. A walk-in layout makes small bathrooms feel bigger and more modern.

    3. Easier maintenance. Large-format tile, linear/center drains, and coated glass mean fewer grout lines and faster cleaning.

    4. Better resale. Updated, code-compliant showers are a top buyer preference in the GTA, so this upgrade supports future sale value.

    Service options

    • Tub-to-shower conversion (most common): keep the current layout, convert only the tub area, install new waterproofing and glass — faster timeline and lower cost.

    • Full 3-pc / 4-pc bathroom update: add floor tile, new vanity, toilet, lighting/paint, accessories — larger scope, higher budget.

    • Our team can price both scenarios during the same visit.

    The floor throughout the bathroom is laid with large format tiles in a neutral shade. The shower area features a modern linear drain with high precision tile fitting
    A horizontal niche, fully finished with the same slab as the walls, is perfectly integrated into the shower area, providing stylish and concealed storage

    How We Guarantee “No Leaks”

    Durability starts behind the tile. That’s why we use a sealed system.

    • XPS foam boards on shower walls
    • Sheet membrane over boards
    • All seams are banded and sealed
    • Pre-sloped shower base integrated with the drain
    • 24-hour flood test before tiling
    • Photo documentation in the close-out package

    That’s why we can give a 5-year waterproofing and tiling warranty.

    Our 5-Step Process

    1. Consultation and design
      Site measure, layout options, curated materials to match style and budget.

    2. Protection and demolition
      Floor protection, dust control, safe removal, daily clean-ups, responsible disposal.

    3. Core installation
      Licensed plumbing/electrical to OBC/ESA, substrate prep, sealed waterproofing system.

    4. Tile, fixtures and glass
      Precision tiling, install shower system, vanity, toilet, accessories, custom glass.

    5. Final review and handover
      Walkthrough, punch list, photo proof of waterproofing and flood test, care guide.

    I was nervous about engaging a contractor what with all the stories you see in the news... but a bathroom reno with plumbing and electrical was something I needed professionals to do. Magic Reno as the Contractor, and Ivan and Illya as my lead tradesmen, did a great job. There was also plumbers and an electrician (didn't get their names) but the work was done promptly and I'm so very happy with the result. The team brought my "eclectic" design to life and did so quickly, but with significant care and attention to detail, at a very reasonable price. Thanks to the Magic Reno team, and Ivan and Illya in particular for delivering a result I love!

    We needed a bathroom renovation, and Magic Reno was one of the places we consulted. However, we didn't choose Magic Reno in the end, just because we got a cheaper offer from a different contractor. Otherwise, they were a super close second choice, and I was genuinely so impressed from the consult that I had to leave this review. In terms of costs, pricing was all super reasonable. They offered a winter discount as well and even offered to throw in a free ventilation fan for us. I sincerely appreciated how transparent they were with the pricing. The quote provided broke everything down, and there was even a section to show pricing for optional add-ons / upgrades. Also a special thanks to Platon, as he was the one we communicated with during consultation and for the quote. He was super patient with us, and he was very knowledgeable in his recommendations for how our bathroom could be renovated. He showed us some previous works and explained the materials that would be used, and everything seemed to be of excellent quality. The communication from Magic Reno and Platon has been absolutely incredible, and I would highly recommend that Magic Reno be considered for any renovations.

    Magic Reno did a complete bathroom renovation for us. Our kids returned home for the holidays and could not believe how beautiful and modern our new bathroom looked. Many thanks to Platon for the shopping experience and to Roman for his fine workmanship!

    I recently used magic reno to put in a new bathroom in my basement. They were all professional and did great work. Special thanks to Pavel for fixing things in my house that weren't even part of the renovation. I would definitely recommend using them for any future renovations. They had reasonable and transparent pricing and they cleaned up after the job was done. One last mention to ivan and iliya who did amazing tile work. Every tile cut was perfect.

    The best tile work you will find. Really good work did both of my upstairs bathrooms with them this year and both turn out really great. Also unlike many companies very easy to pick material with them all in one place.
