Overview
This Courtice bathroom renovation replaced a cramped acrylic tub-and-shower combo with a fully custom walk-in shower, freeing up usable floor space in a 10 × 6 ft layout and bringing the room in line with how the homeowners actually used it. The original tub was rarely used, and the acrylic surround had become dated and difficult to keep clean.
Wilworks gutted the space to the studs, relocated the drain and water supply, and rebuilt around a new shower footprint with a built-in bench. New large-format floor tile, a dark double vanity with quartz countertop, and a full glass enclosure with marble-look quartz wall panels transformed the room from builder-grade to move-in-worthy.

Before
The original bathroom was a standard builder configuration — an acrylic one-piece tub/shower unit framed into a surround, a white floating vanity, and grey-blue walls with a dated two-bulb light fixture. The tub went unused, taking up a third of the floor space, and the acrylic walls were showing their age. The layout worked but left no room for improvement without a full removal.
After
Removing the tub unit opened the floor plan considerably. The new walk-in shower runs the full depth of the original alcove, with a quartz wall surround in a marble pattern, a ceiling-mounted rain head, a handheld slide bar, and a built-in bench along the back wall. A frameless glass enclosure with a half-panel keeps the space visually open.
The dark espresso vanity with a white quartz top and dual undermount sinks anchors the opposite wall, paired with brushed nickel fixtures and a wide frameless mirror with a four-light bar overhead. Large-format charcoal floor tile and sage green walls complete the palette — warm without being heavy, and a clean contrast against the white glass enclosure.
