Elora's Trusted Bathroom Renovation Contractor
Elora homes have character worth preserving — and a bathroom renovation done right should add to that character, not work against it. Whether you're updating a heritage home, finishing a newer build, or simply replacing a bathroom that hasn't been touched in twenty years, the quality of the work matters.
LUMA Build Design is a family-owned general contractor based in Centre Wellington. We've been renovating bathrooms across Elora, Fergus and the surrounding area for over 20 years. We understand Elora's housing stock — from the older stone homes near the gorge to newer builds on the edge of town — and we know how to renovate bathrooms that fit the character of the home they're in.
We manage the full project. Design consultation, permits where required, and all trades coordination including plumbing, electrical, tile, cabinetry and fixtures. One team, one point of contact, from demolition to final walkthrough.

Frequently Asked Questions —
Bathroom Renovations in Elora
Q: How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Elora?
Costs vary based on size, scope and finish level. A powder room renovation typically starts around $8,000–$15,000. A main bath full renovation typically ranges from $18,000–$35,000. A full ensuite renovation with custom tile, heated floors and frameless glass typically starts at $30,000 and goes up from there. Heritage homes in Elora sometimes carry additional cost depending on what's discovered once demolition begins — we flag these before proceeding, never after. Detailed quotes provided after a free on-site consultation.
Q: Do older Elora homes have special considerations for bathroom renovations?
Yes. Older homes — particularly Elora's heritage stone and pre-war builds — can have plumbing configurations, subfloor conditions, and structural elements that differ from newer construction. We assess these during the consultation so you know what you're working with before any work begins. No surprises once the walls come down.
Q: Do I need a permit for a bathroom renovation in Elora?
Cosmetic updates generally don't require a permit. Renovations involving moving plumbing, adding a bathroom, or altering electrical systems require a permit through the Township of Centre Wellington. LUMA assesses what's required and handles the process if needed.
Q: Can you convert a bathtub to a walk-in shower in an Elora home?
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. For older Elora homes we assess the existing plumbing configuration during consultation to confirm what's involved before quoting.
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.
Q: What is AODA compliance for bathrooms in Elora?
AODA (Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act) sets standards for accessible design in Ontario businesses. For washrooms this includes turning radius clearances, accessible fixture heights, lever-style door hardware, proper signage and barrier-free entry. Elora businesses are required to meet these standards. LUMA designs and builds AODA-compliant washrooms for commercial renovations across Centre Wellington.
Q: What areas do you serve for bathroom renovations?
LUMA renovates bathrooms in Elora, Fergus, Arthur, Mount Forest, Elmira, Belwood, Drayton and the surrounding Centre Wellington and Wellington County area.
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.
We ensure your washrooms meet Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act standards, including turning radius clearances, door hardware, fixture heights and signage requirements — keeping your business compliant and your customers accommodated.
