Cost of your bathroom renovation can be vary! Here is basic brake down cost local contractors charging for:
Turning your existing tub into a shower stall or replacing tub Ether you replacing your tub or installing new shower stall Total apx. cost will be $ 15,000-$20,000 materials/labor total. Average good quality materials cost for this job $7,500 itself, and labor to complete this job vary $7,500-10,000 Few tips: A. when you buy new tub, a good quality tub can't cost less then $750, what ever is less this price will be money wasting in a near future. for the shower you better pay more and choose local brands like Riobel, Moen, Kohler, Blanco. They always have some parts available in stock around town, and at reasonable price B. Spend more on custom frameless shower glass door/surrounds! It's last for ever, easy to maintain/clean, and have a luxury, and clean look. Spend extra $200-300 for 8"inch corner frameless glass shelves instead of asking your contactor to install wall insert for shampoo bottles. It is easy to clean, looking good, and waterproofed. Wall inserts will cost you much more because of extra time for installation, insert, and tiling job. In a long run eventually all of them start leaking behind the wall, because no mater what water and bacteria build up in the middle bottom part and corners. C. Ask your contractor to use bigger size tiles to have as less as possible grout lines. I will look good, clean easier, and less bacteria build up on the grout lines. D. when buying shower control/faucet choose the whole set: hand shower with hose, and shower slide bar. It is very useful and handy to have in your shower.
