Barrhaven Bathroom Renovations and Shower Upgrades

Bath Planet Ottawa helps Barrhaven homeowners replace worn-out tubs and showers with walk-in showers and bathrooms that are easy to keep clean. We're a local family business, and every project starts with a free in-home consult with the owner, Jeff Billard. We don't cover over old walls; we take them back to the studs.

When the original bathroom starts to show its age

Barrhaven has grown a lot over the years, and many of its homes still have the bathroom they came with. Builder-grade fiberglass tub and shower units are fine at first, but after enough years they can crack, stain and get hard to keep clean. Caulking lets go, and grout in tiled areas darkens no matter how much you scrub.

If that sounds familiar, a shower replacement or a tub-to-shower conversion is often the most practical fix. You get a fresh shower with smooth acrylic walls and no grout lines to clean.

The big tub nobody uses

Some homes have a large soaker or corner tub in the ensuite that rarely gets used. If yours does, it may make more sense as a roomy walk-in shower with a bench. If you do love your baths, we can replace the tub instead. Jeff will be honest about which option suits your room and budget.

What goes into your new shower

Bath Planet acrylic wall systems come in a wide range of patterns, including looks that mimic tile without the grout. They're backed by a limited lifetime warranty. We pair them with Moen fixtures, Fleurco glass doors and Invisia accessories if you want a grab bar or shelf that looks like it belongs there.

Serving Barrhaven and the south end

Barrhaven sits in Ottawa's southwest, along the Jock River. We regularly drive out this way, along with neighbouring Riverside South and Manotick to the southeast and Nepean to the north. For projects elsewhere in the city, see bathroom renovations in Ottawa.

Frequently asked questions

Can you replace a fiberglass tub surround with a walk-in shower?

Yes. We remove the fiberglass unit and walls back to the studs, update the plumbing and waterproofing as needed, and install a new acrylic shower with a glass door.

How much does a shower replacement cost?

Our shower renovations start at $8,999 on our current price list. Your exact price depends on size and options, and you'll get a written quote after the free consult.

Is it a bad idea to remove the only tub in the house?

It depends on who lives there and your plans. Many people with another tub in the house, or no young children, are happy with a shower only. Jeff can talk through it with you.

Do you offer tile instead of acrylic?

Yes. Most clients choose acrylic walls because they're easy to clean, but we can install custom tile, and many people mix acrylic shower walls with tile floors.
