A Bathroom Renovation Contractor
Waterloo Homeowners Can Rely On
Waterloo homes range from established neighbourhoods to newer subdivisions, and a bathroom renovation done right should fit the home it's in and stand up to daily use for decades. The quality of the work — especially the waterproofing you don't see behind the tile — is what separates a renovation that lasts from one you're redoing in five years.
LUMA Build Design is a family-owned general contractor based in Centre Wellington. We've been renovating bathrooms across Waterloo, Kitchener and the surrounding region for over 20 years — from compact powder rooms to full ensuite rebuilds — with the craftsmanship and attention to detail the job actually requires.
We manage the full project. Design consultation, permits through the City of Waterloo where required, and all trades coordinated including plumbing, electrical, tile, cabinetry and fixtures. One team, one point of contact, from demolition to final walkthrough.
Bathroom Renovation Services in Waterloo
Ensuite Renovations
Transform your master ensuite into the space it should be. Custom tile work, walk-in showers, freestanding tubs, double vanities, heated floors, frameless glass and proper ventilation. We design and build ensuites that feel luxurious and function perfectly for everyday use — including tub-to-shower conversions for ensuites where the tub never gets used.
Main Bathroom Renovations
Full renovation of your main family bathroom. New layout, new fixtures, new tile — everything rebuilt to modern standards with quality materials that hold up for years. We assess what's worth keeping and replace what isn't, including tub-to-shower conversions, vanity upgrades, lighting, exhaust solutions and all plumbing and electrical work coordinated under one team.
Powder Room Renovations
A powder room renovation delivers some of the best value-per-square-foot of any project in your home. We design and build powder rooms that make a strong impression — custom vanities, statement tile, quality fixtures and proper lighting. Small space, big impact, done right.

Accessible & AODA-Compliant Bathrooms in Waterloo
For residential projects, we incorporate barrier-free showers, grab bars, comfort-height fixtures, wider doorways, non-slip flooring and walk-in tub options — built to look like a considered design choice, not a medical necessity.
For commercial renovations, AODA compliance is a legal requirement in Ontario.
