Many bathroom maintenance tasks fall under general handyman work and do not require a specific licence. However, any work involving the plumbing system (beyond simple fixture swaps) is a compulsory trade in Ontario under the Building Opportunities in the Skilled Trades Act (BOSTA) and requires a plumber with a Certificate of Qualification from Skilled Trades Ontario. Electrical work such as exhaust fan replacement requiring new wiring must be done by an ESA-licensed electrician. Simple cosmetic tasks like recaulking do not require licensing.
