All of Taylor Made Bathrooms’ workers are covered by liability insurance.  For some specialized tasks, we may call in reputable subcontractors to ensure the best quality work. These subcontractors are also covered by general liability insurance.

To remove and replace a tub, toilet, vanity, and floor for an average (5’ x 8’) bathroom, renovations take approximately two weeks from start to complete finish.

We are very conscientious of any space we enter and take multiple precautions to keep your home clean. Any tradespeople that enter your home from our company are required to use drop sheets from the door they enter all the way to the bathroom. If it is wet outside, plastic will be put under the drop sheets for further protection. Vents and doors in the bathroom will also be shut if dust is being produced. Taylor Made Bathrooms is committed to leaving the home cleaner than when they arrived on the job.

Absolutely! After a visit our showroom to discuss what you are looking for, one of our professionals will come to your home to measure your bathroom, discuss options and provide a detailed quote. After that, our comprehensive contract will cover all the details for your bathroom renovations process, including cost and timeline, so there are no surprises.

If you have this issue, chances are your tub and shower valves are not pressure balanced. It is now mandatory in the Ontario Plumbing Code that all new home tub and shower valves must be pressured balanced, but older bathrooms may not have this update.

Pressure balanced valves prevent temperatures from freezing cold or boiling hot. If someone should flush a toilet while you are showering you may see a slight decrease in volume, but the temperature will not dramatically change.

In almost all situations, a new pressure balanced valve can be retrofitted for your home. Our sister company, Taylor’s Plumbing, is equipped with skilled plumbers who are experienced in changing old valves to pressure balanced ones. Contact them for an in-home quote today!

If you are looking for long-lasting bathroom flooring, cultured marble may be the best option for you. Cultured marble is a waterproof product that comes in sheets that are 3/8″ thick. It features a base colour that usually matches your fixtures with a white swirl.

Cultured marble can be easily cleaned with a wax cleaner, such as Gel Gloss. It is the optimal material for bathrooms because when the water hits the marble, it simply rolls off. There are also no grout lines or porous tiles, so soap does not stick to it. It is slightly more expensive than ceramic tiles but lasts a very long time. We have seen cultured marble that was 25 years old and still looked brand new!

For more information on cultured marble, visit our showroom! We have two cultured marble showers installed in our showroom and plenty of samples to look at.

The finishes used on bathroom fixtures like faucets have improved greatly in recent years, and almost all brand name faucets available today come with a lifetime guarantee on their finishes. This means you can clean your new faucets with any type of cleaner and they will still be covered.

To further protect the life of your faucet’s finish, we recommend that you avoid using cleaners with ammonia, such as Windex, and that you do not use any cleaners with grit in them. However, if you buy a brand name faucet the warranty will cover any finishing issues regardless of the cleaners you use.

The most common types of countertops are laminate, cultured marble, solid surface and granite. Other than laminate, the other three productsall allow you to under mount sinks, which means they are placed under the counter and consequently have no rim above the counter. This application makes the counter look very elegant and is easy to clean. Additionally, cultured marble and solid surface counters are man-made so they can have a moulded bowl built into them.

If these do not interest you, there are many other countertop options including wood, ceramic tiles, and glass.
