Replacement is expensive, slow, and wasteful. Restoration delivers the same finish in a single day, at a fraction of the cost, with the existing asset preserved.
The default approach in Canadian multi-residential is rip and replace. It's expensive, slow, disruptive to tenants, and generates significant landfill waste, even when the underlying tub is structurally sound.
Per unit, materials and labour. Two to three days of unit downtime. Demolition work. Plumbing reconfiguration. Significant disposal waste. Disruption to surrounding units and tenants.
Per unit, all-in. 24-hour turnaround. No demolition. Minimal waste. The existing tub preserved and restored to a like-new finish that performs for 8 to 12 years.
Pricing reflects a single-unit project. Volume pricing reduces per-unit cost further for multi-unit projects.
We are not a residential one-off vendor adapted to multi-unit work. Revive is purpose-built for the way property managers and co-op boards actually run buildings.
We coordinate with your turnover calendar and unit availability. Work happens when units are between tenants or when access is confirmed, on your schedule.
Contained work zones, ventilation, and respect for occupied units. Tenants are notified appropriately. The work is done quietly, cleanly, and on schedule.
Every job comes with before-and-after documentation, written scope, and a 30-day workmanship guarantee. Records you can hand to your board or asset manager.
Per-unit pricing scales with project size. A 20-unit project costs less per unit than a four-unit project. Built for portfolio-scale work, not one-offs.
$2M liability coverage. WSIB registered. All work performed to industry standards with documented chemical handling and safety protocols.
We provide written proposals showing restoration versus replacement side by side. Real numbers. No on-site quotes. No surprises.
For a 50-unit building turning over 8 bathrooms a year, the math becomes meaningful quickly.
Replacement: 8 units × $3,000 average
$24,000
Revive Restoration: 8 units × $595 (Tier 2)
$4,760
Annual savings
$19,240
Illustrative. Actual pricing varies by project specifics. We provide written cost comparisons for every prospect.
Member-led co-ops who want to preserve building assets and save on capital expenses without raising housing charges or special assessments.
Purpose-built rental owners who turn over units on regular cycles and need a vendor who works around their schedule and reporting needs.
Third-party property management firms serving institutional ownership groups who need documented, accountable restoration work.
Portfolio-level operators making capital allocation decisions across multiple buildings, looking for restoration partners who can scale.
Co-ops in heritage districts where replacement creates permit headaches and original fixtures (like clawfoot tubs) are worth preserving.
Specialized multi-residential operators serving vulnerable or transient populations where minimal disruption is non-negotiable.
If your building has units that could use bathtub or surface work, we'll come on-site and provide a written cost comparison of restoration versus replacement within 48 hours of the walk.
