Bathtub renovations matter more than many homeowners expect, especially in Calgary homes where bathrooms often sit over older subfloors and outdated plumbing. Moisture control, proper ventilation, and correct layout planning all play a role in how long a new tub installation will last. Without the right preparation, even a good-looking bathtub renovation can lead to hidden water damage or tile failure.
Our team at RP Services starts every bathtub renovation by understanding how the existing bathroom is built. We assess moisture exposure, framing condition, and airflow before recommending materials or layouts. This allows us to plan waterproofing, tile placement, and tub positioning in a way that protects the structure of the home.
We guide clients through tub selection, tile choices, and layout adjustments with clear explanations and honest feedback. Every decision is made with long-term performance in mind, not shortcuts or surface-level fixes.
Proper planning sets the foundation for a successful bathtub renovation. We evaluate framing, subfloor condition, and existing plumbing to ensure the bathtub can be installed securely and level. Our workflow includes reviewing design ideas, confirming measurements, and sequencing demolition and installation so the bathroom stays protected throughout the project. In Calgary homes, this step is especially important due to aging construction and past renovations that may not meet current standards.
Tile and waterproofing work together to protect walls and floors around a bathtub. We install proper waterproofing membranes behind tile and ensure grout lines and transitions are sealed correctly. Our team coordinates tile layout with tub dimensions to avoid small cuts or uneven finishes. In Calgary’s dry climate with seasonal humidity changes, correct waterproofing helps prevent cracking and long-term moisture damage.
Bathtub placement affects how a bathroom functions day to day. We review clearances, door swings, and fixture spacing to make sure the layout works comfortably. Our process includes aligning tubs with tile lines, niches, and plumbing locations for a balanced design. Many Calgary homes have compact bathrooms, so careful layout planning helps maximize space without sacrificing durability.
During construction, we follow a clear workflow from demolition through final installation. Substrate repairs are completed before the tub is installed, followed by waterproofing, tile work, and fixture connections. We coordinate plumbing and electrical with trusted trades and maintain daily jobsite cleanup. Clear communication keeps Calgary homeowners informed at every stage of the renovation.

Waterproofing is critical in any bathtub renovation to protect walls, floors, and framing from moisture damage. We install proper waterproofing systems behind tile and at all tub transitions before any finish work begins. This step helps prevent leaks, mold, and long-term structural issues.
Porcelain tile is commonly used around bathtubs because it is durable, water-resistant, and easy to maintain. Natural stone can also be used but often requires additional sealing and maintenance. Our team helps clients choose tile based on performance, not just appearance.
A bathtub renovation timeline depends on the scope of work, including demolition, waterproofing, tile installation, and plumbing updates. Most projects take several weeks once construction begins, especially if substrate repairs or layout changes are required. We provide clear timelines before work starts and keep homeowners updated throughout the project.
