Bathroom Renovations in Shawnigan Lake and the Cowichan Valley
Bathroom renovations in Shawnigan Lake, Mill Bay, Cobble Hill, Duncan and Ladysmith
Whether your bathroom needs a full gut or a fresh tub surround and vanity, Matts Island Construction remodels bathrooms across the Cowichan Valley. One customer called Matt "the bathroom renovation wizard", and we plan to keep earning it.
We plan the layout with you, help you choose tile, fixtures and finishes, and manage the job from demolition to the final wipe-down. You deal with one contractor the whole way.
What we do
We take on full bathroom remodels and smaller updates: new tub and shower surrounds, tile floors and walls, vanities and storage, waterproof flooring, lighting, ventilation and paint.
We choose materials that stand up to moisture, and we take care with the waterproofing behind the tile, where most bathroom problems start. Not ready for a full remodel? A new surround, a vanity swap or fresh flooring can change the whole room.
Plan and layout
We look at the space, your budget and how you use the room, then plan a layout that works.
Tub and shower
New tub and shower surrounds, tiled or panelled, built to keep water where it belongs.
Tile and flooring
Ceramic and porcelain tile, plus waterproof flooring that handles splashes and steam.
Vanity and finish
New vanities, storage, lighting, ventilation and paint to finish the room.

Built to handle water
A bathroom takes more moisture than any other room in the house. Good ventilation, mould-resistant materials and careful waterproofing are what make a renovation last, and they're the parts we never rush.
Planning more than one room? We also take on kitchens, basements and whole-home renovations.

What bathroom customers say
Matt is the bathroom renovation wizard! So happy with how this one has turned out. Highly recommend to anyone
I hired Matt for Ceramic bathroom tile job... The job was fantastic so I hired him for other house upgrades...all were completed with proper skills and looked great
We’ve had Matt complete several projects around our home including flooring install, painting and tile work. The finished product has always been exceptional. Matt did a great job of keeping us up to date on his timeline/availability which we appreciated.
Bathroom renovation questions
How much does a bathroom renovation cost?
It depends on the size of the room, whether fixtures are moving, and the tile, vanity and finishes you choose. A refresh costs far less than a full gut. We'll walk through your options and give you a free, no-obligation quote.
How long will my bathroom be out of use?
It depends on the scope. A tub surround or vanity swap is much quicker than a full remodel. We'll give you a timeline up front and keep you posted, so you can plan around it.
Can you just redo the tub or shower surround?
Yes. Smaller updates like a new surround, retiling, a vanity swap or new flooring are all jobs we take on, not just full remodels.
Do you help choose tile and fixtures?
Yes. We'll help you pick materials that suit your style and budget and stand up to moisture, and we'll tell you honestly where it's worth spending and where it isn't.
Do I need a permit for a bathroom renovation?
It depends on the work involved. Rules differ between the Cowichan Valley Regional District, which covers Shawnigan Lake, Mill Bay and Cobble Hill, and municipalities like Duncan and Ladysmith. We'll walk you through what your project needs before work starts.
