What a condo repipe costs in Vancouver

Replacing Kitec in a Vancouver condo suite typically costs $5,000–$12,000, depending mainly on bathroom count and access. A coordinated whole-building programme brings that down materially per suite — often 15–30% — which is why it's worth knowing what your strata is planning before you arrange your own.

These are market ranges for Metro Vancouver, not a quote. They’re here so you can plan and compare, and they’re reviewed quarterly. Big jobs genuinely vary — access, materials, what’s behind the wall, what’s above the pipe. We won’t quote one without seeing it, and neither should anyone else. Where we publish a fixed price, it’s fixed.
What moves the price

What decides where in the range you land

Bathroom and fixture count

the main driver.

Access

a suite with an accessible ceiling or bulkhead is cheaper than one with tiled walls and no access panels.

Isolation valves

a suite without them needs a building shut-off scheduled, which adds coordination cost.

Drywall repair

the biggest variable between quotes. Patched, taped, or paint-ready are three different prices. Get it in writing.

Strata requirements

some buildings require specific insurance limits, hours, or a supervisor.

Elevator and protection

booked service elevator, pads, corridor protection.

Floor level

material handling on the 30th floor costs more than the 3rd.

What people ask us

How much does a Kitec repipe cost in a Vancouver condo?

Yes, typically 15–30% per suite.

Who pays — me or the strata?

Depends on whether the piping is common property or in-suite, and on your bylaws.
