Ensuite Renovations
Transform your master ensuite into a space that works as hard as the rest of your home.

Includes tub-to-shower conversions for ensuites where the tub goes unused.
Main Bathroom Renovations
Full gut renovation of your main family bathroom — new layout, new fixtures, new tile, everything rebuilt properly.

All plumbing, electrical, tile and fixtures coordinated under one team.

Cosmetic updates — new tile, vanity, fixtures without moving plumbing — generally don't require a permit. Renovations involving moving plumbing, adding a bathroom, or altering electrical systems require a permit through the Township of Woolwich. LUMA assesses what's required and handles the process if needed.

A powder room or smaller bathroom typically takes 2–4 weeks once work begins. A full ensuite or main bath renovation typically takes 4–8 weeks. We give you a realistic timeline at the outset and keep you updated throughout.
Q: Can you convert a bathtub to a walk-in shower in Elmira?
Yes — tub-to-shower conversions are one of our most common bathroom projects. We handle the full conversion including proper waterproofing, custom tile, glass enclosure and all plumbing work. Done correctly it adds more value to your home than it costs.
Q: Do you handle plumbing and electrical?
Yes. We coordinate all licensed trades including plumbing and electrical as part of the project. LUMA manages the full scope — you don't hire separate contractors.
