Thinking about basement bathroom renovation? Let us help you make the most of your space.

There are a lot of benefits to adding a basement bathroom. It creates comfort, convenience, and value to your home. It’s great for guests, rental units, in-law suites, or just making life easier for your family.

Basement Bathrooms: unique challenges

Renovating a basement bathroom is very different from renovating a bathroom on the main floor or upper level. There are quite a few unique challenges to consider, and it takes a skilled bathroom contractor to do it properly.

What Clients Are Saying About Miracle Dream Homes

Read What Our Satisfied Clients Have to Say About Their Miracle Dream Homes Experience

We are really pleased with our bathroom remodel from Miracle Dream Homes. We have a small bathroom (5x7) so we were limited in what could fit, but it looks so much bigger and more open with the new glass shower doors. Elliana helped us select a gorgeous tile for a feature wall in the shower. Viktor did an amazing job with the installation and the result is stunning. Viktor was on time, polite, hard working and always left the house clean. We feel it was very good value for money and would highly recommend Miracle Dream Homes.

I communicated with many members of MDH throughout our recent renovations of two full bathrooms. Agathe was very open with me at the planning stage, which I appreciated when I was trying to decide between different companies. Elliana were very communicative and provided useful guidance. Both used their extensive experience to provide recommendations for me to consider. While we did have some timeline concerns when the projects were underway, they were resolved. This was because the bathrooms that were demolished were the only two full baths in our house, and we were moving in shortly so needed to make sure one of them was completed. Although it wasn't 100% completed by the deadline, it was useable and it was finished two days later. We were very happy with how both bathrooms turned out. Enclosed is a photo of the primary ensuite. Oleg completed all of the finishing work in this bathroom and was extremely respectful of our space, as we had moved into our house at that point. Overall we are extremely happy with the communication, guidance, and workmanship of the projects!

Miracle Dream Homes delivered well beyond my expectations. The work was well done, on time, and on budget.We had two projects done with them over the span of 6 months and both went exceedingly well. At no point during these 6 months were there any delays or surprises.

We recently moved to Barrhaven. One of our neighbors referred us to this company, and we are glad we went with Miracle Dream Homes! We started our renovation with the powder room, and the results exceeded our expectations. All our guests compliment the design (thank you Elliana). And the whole process of working with the MDH team was so easy and pleasant from the get-go. Everybody was very professional, efficient, and helpful. Next on our plan is an ensuite bathroom renovation.

We recently completed a full basement renovation, and we couldn't be happier with the results! From the initial consultation to the final walk-through, the entire experience was professional, seamless, and exceeded our expectations.The design team took the time to understand our vision and offered creative solutions that perfectly fit our needs. They transformed a dark, underutilized space into a bright, functional, and beautiful area we now love using every day.The quality of the materials and craftsmanship was top-notch, and we were particularly impressed with how they handled the tricky parts of the project, such as moving our plumbing and the window casing wall angle for bringing in more natural lighting. Our basement is functional and feels comfortable. A good continuation of the rest of our home.What really stood out was the communication throughout the project. The team kept us informed every step of the way, ensuring that we were always on the same page with timelines (always exact), costs (no surprises), and design choices (we always had time to ponder options as well). Any concerns we had were addressed promptly and professionally. Definitely have pride in the work.We’re thrilled with how the space has turned out—it truly feels like an extension of our home. The attention to detail and commitment to excellence made this project a success. Highly recommend this company for anyone looking to renovate or finish their basement. It was definitely worth the investment!

Thank you to the team at Miracle Dream Homes for our recent bathroom renovation. The professionalism and workmanship of everyone we dealt with was excellent! Our finished project exceeds expectations - we would not hesitate to contact MDH for future projects and/or recommend them to others.

We are extremely pleased with our bathroom renovation. When Agathe came for the quote, she was great and very knowledgeable about everything. We were able to ask all of our questions. We felt everything would be done to make our dreams of a new bathroom come true. Elliana, the designer, helped guide us with the selection for tiles, bathtub and all material needed while explaining the pros and the cons of everything. She kept in contact regularly and answered emails or returned calls promptly. She was amazing! Victor the main contractor and his team made sure every detail was completed to our satisfaction and we remain very satisfied. Everything was done within the time frame given and within the contact prices established. We would not hesitate to use Miracle Dream Homes for other renovations in our house. Thanks everyone!

We had our boys/guest bathroom renovated by this team. They did a great job especially Victor the contractor. He worked very hard, came everyday, and we were able to work well with him. His workmanship is excellent. The electrician, plumbers, designer Elliana all did a great job too. Thanks to Agathe assessing the job, measuring everything out to giving us the quote and getting the job started. It was a great experience working with this whole team and we’d be very happy to work with them again in the future.

Great experience working with Miracle Dream Homes on our bathroom renovation. Elliana was very helpful with the initial design and material selection, and managing the overall project. Alex and his team did a fantastic job with the renovation itself, starting work on the day they had committed to, getting it done in time and on budget. The team of contractors were always respectful of our property and kept noise and mess to a minimum. Extremely trustworthy team and highly professional throughout, will contact them again for future renovations.

We are very pleased with our main bathroom renovation. Agathe was responsive and reassuring during the measurement and evaluation. Elliana, our project manager, was so helpful, from ensuring that the tile selection was best for our bathroom to locating and purchasing the perfect mirror on the last day when our original mirror was not delivered. Oleg did an outstanding job, completing the renovation with an attention to detail, a focus on cleanliness and helpful suggestions. We highly recommend MDH and use them again in future renovations.

I recently had four rooms done, two full baths and two powder rooms. They were all sad and dated and worse for wear from the early 90's, so I wanted something with a clean and modern look up to 2020's standards. I found this company in a google search and checked out their customer reviews through Facebook groups, so they seemed legitimate with a track record of satisfied customers so I decided to give them a shot. My initial meetings with Agathe to see if they would be a good fit for my plans went well. For the products, I was guided for selection by Elliana, the project manager, but I made the purchases out of my pocket rather than through the contractor which resulted in some savings. Overall the service/labour costs were extremely reasonable, especially in comparison with other full service reno companies (as a general comp, they are about half what Amsted would have charged with a similar scale job). They were able to schedule-in my jobs exactly when I wanted and once I lined up my products, all the work was done with a lot of efficiency. The installers/workers were skilled, prompt, hard working, and conscientious---and this can't be underestimated when you're having strangers inside your home, they were nice and considerate. The work was solid and I will note that their problem solving skills were excellent---something you need when working on older homes with a lot of 'mistakes' in the original builds. This company perfectly suited me for my needs and the level of my particular renovations and realized my own modest visions for my modest home. I would say that you should know what you want for your home first before engaging and have an idea for your selections, then I would strongly recommend MDH/Capital Bathroom as very good quality, great-value middle-class renovators

Miracle Dream Homes did our bathroom renovation this fall and we could not be happier. Everything looks amazing and they were extremely professional and respectful of our home throughout the entire process. They use an extremely detailed contract so that you know exactly what to expect. On time, on budget and on scope. We would highly recommend them! Thank you Alex, Elliana and the whole crew!

We chose Miracle Dream Homes to manage our basement bathroom renos (complete gutting - see before and after photos) because of the great reviews, their quick responsiveness and friendly and warm reception we received from the onset and they didn't disappoint. From dealing with Agathe at the beginning of the project to Elliana throughout its entire duration, to plumbers and electrician and finally to Victor, the on-site contractor, the service we received was exceptionally professional and the renos were completed within the planned timeframe of two weeks. They already had an alternative solution in place in the event of plumbing challenges with the repositioning of the vanity and we in fact encountered issues which was dealt with immediately, never deterring from the original timeline. We also really liked that we could either purchase our own bathroom materials or use their in-house services to do the shopping for you - Elliana and Victor provided great recommendations and alternative suggestions. We are extremely happy with the finished results and would highly recommend Miracle Dream Homes for your next renovation project.

This team did not disappoint, from start to finish. We never felt pressure or upsold, they took asbestos concerns very seriously and coordinated the removal. Once the construction began, they continuously asked and double checked every minor decision and didn't jump ahead. They were all extremely polite, respectful and courteous to us and our home. Not to mention the beautiful bathroom we have and are absolutely in love with! Elli, the designer, came up with some great ideas along the way whenever we came across certain problems. Our advice: hire MDH, and listen to their advice :). We will use them again for future projects.

Words cannot express on how this amazing team worked together to make remodeling our bathrooms a reality.Firstly, I like to thank Agathe for answering my call and starting me off on our renovations. Thank you, Elli for being patient with me. Her attention to detail is outstanding. She guided me in picking all tile and plumbing fixtures. We needed to transform our main bathroom to accommodate my husband’s disability. We removed our tub and turn it into a walk in shower. MDH suggested we have a built in bench and added grab bars. The outcome is so upscale that it feels that we are entering a spa! Thank you Dimitri, you are very dedicated and your attention to detail is amazing. Also, Thank you to the plumbing team and electrician for all their work. I highly recommend MDH for your next project. You won’t be disappointed!

I picked Miracle Dream Homes for my bathroom remodel because they offered designer services. None of the other builders I contacted had this. From the first initial quote to the completion of the project the people at MDHs were incredibly professional. My bathroom was completed in 3 weeks and looks amazing. I'd recommend this company to anyone requiring renovations or other services they offer. I'll be using them again for other projects in the future.

High quality work, great communication, expert design assistance. We were very pleased with the work done by MDH in remodeling our bathroom in December 2022. The team were responsive and helpful with our initial questions, assisted us greatly with figuring out design and choosing materials, and then completed electrical and plumbing and the installation of new tile, vanity, and shower on time and on budget. Victor the installer was very helpful and professional, delivering great work and a clean, organized worksite every day. We recommend Miracle Dream Homes without reservation.

Don't hesitate to use MDH! I'm extremely excited and happy to share the beautiful detailed work done by the team. MDH take great pride in their work. Their assistance in choosing materials and the materials' locations, and problem-solving, was invaluable and excellent.

We are so relieved we went with MDH instead of one of the other "full service" places. We were nervous at first about having to do our own shopping (what do I know about tiles and shower mixing valves?), but we ended up with exactly the finishings we wanted instead of being limited by the supplies chosen by a single company. And for SO much less money. We saved about 7000 on the project by buying everything ourselves. The MDH staff were helpful, efficient, communicative, and delivered quality work. Even though we have a tiny house with no garage, Victor managed to do the necessary cutting and drywall work without covering our whole place in dust. He was extremely accommodating and patient, even when some of the stores messed up our orders and he had to drive back and forth needlessly. We anticipated that we wouldn't be getting this work done until the fall or later, but MDH scheduled us within two weeks of having all the shopping done. We love the new bathroom and wholeheartedly recommend MDH. Thank you Agathe, Elliana, Victor and Yuri! Note: photos are the before and after.

We were thrilled with Miracle Dream Homes! I didn't realize how access to a designer would be helpful, but it was! And when Oleg arrived to start the renovation he was so professional. His work is accurate, timely and beautiful. We are hiring them for our next bathroom immediately!

Shawna Blanchard

MDH team did a really great job at a competitive price. It required for us to be a little hands on which we preferred and a little flexible which we were comfortable doing. The work and communication by the team was top notch, would recommend if you don't mind these considerations.

We are absolutely thrilled with our new bathrooms. MDH did 2 of our bathrooms and the transformation is amazing. From our first meeting with Agathe, design help from Ellie to the renovations done by Alex, Oleg and electrical work done by Anatoly, they were all so professional and attentive to details. They made the process so easy and stress free. We definitely would hire them again to do more work in our home. Martin and Nicole

John and Yuri were fabulous. The stone wall around the fireplace was carefully installed one by one to balance colours and sizes perfectly, for a stunning fireplace wall. Work was done on time, they cleaned up every night and were very professional and polite. They also did a ProSlat wall in the garage also very well done. I will be hiring them again for my ensuite. Thanks so much to the team!!

We selected Miracle Dream Homes (MDH) for the renovation of our main bathroom based upon their positive online reviews and the accompanying photographs showcasing their work (see their website and instagram page for more info) . We were not disappointed. The service that we received from MDH was exceptional, from the early beginnings discussing our ideas for the renovation with Agathe and Ellie, all the way through to the demolition and renovation itself.Oleg, Dimitri, and Anatoliy completed the demolition of our existing bathroom and subsequently installed the completely new bathroom, which included installing new heated tile flooring, installation of a standalone shower (complete with subway tile) and free-standing tub, new toilet, new heated towel rack, new lighting, and a new vanity and mirror.Throughout this process the team was quiet (even during the demo!) and incredibly professional. As importantly, the quality of their work was exceptional. We went from what I can only describe as a dated bathroom to a bathroom deserving of a feature in 'House and Home' magazine. We were so pleased with the final results that we will be working with MDH again on the renovation of our second bathroom.Renovating can be stressful, particularly if you don't know who to call, or even exactly what you want. MDH guided us throughout the process, providing helpful advice and suggestions throughout the design process, the cost estimation, and the subsequent installation / renovation. I cannot recommend MDH enough. If you want a quality renovation done at a competitive price and by accomplished tradespersons and experts, look no further than Miracle Dream Homes.

We just had a complete bathroom renovation done by Miracle Dream Homes. Yuri, Elli and the whole team were friendly and very professional. Our installer, Oleg, was always on time and his work was EXCELLENT as well as the plumber, Roman and the electrician Toli. Our bathroom was completed in 2 weeks. It was a pleasant experience and would definitely recommend Miracle Dream Homes for any renovation.

About Us

At Miracle Dream Homes, we have been proudly serving the Ottawa region with high-quality bathroom renovations since 2004. We work closely with our clients to make sure we create the bathroom you have always dreamed of. If you have questions and are searching for “bathroom design in Ottawa,” we have ideas to share that will inspire you and all the answers that will ensure that your bathroom renovation is planned and finished properly.

Ceiling Height and Layout Limitations

Basements usually have lower ceilings, structural beams, and limited space to work with. There are certain code requirements as to how low your ceilings can be. They also have to be kept in mind while designing your basement bathroom.

Proper Ventilation.

Basements typically often have poor airflow and higher humidity levels coming off of foundation. Having good ventilation is essential.

Waterproofing and Foundation Work

Because basements are below ground level, they’re more prone to moisture and water leaks. Before installing flooring or covering walls, be sure to check for signs of water damage or foundation issues.

Electrical Considerations

Basement bathrooms also need customized electrical work. GFCI protected breaker, wiring that is able to support heated floors (if necessary), proper wiring for the exhaust fan. All these have to be considered at the planning stage. especially if your basement wiring is older or wasn’t originally designed to support a bathroom.

Plumbing Rough-Ins and Drainage.

Depending on your basement layout you will have to work around rough-in locations if they already exist. Relocating drainage is not cheap so you may want to plan your renovation accordingly. If your basement doesn’t already have plumbing in place, we’ll need to cut into the concrete foundation to install drainage and connect to the main sewer line. It’s a complex job that requires coordination with the city and obtaining necessary permits.
