Hi Edward,

Assuming you simply want an acrylic replacement surround this fix would be $360-480 in labor and $300-500 for the surround and adhesive.

$980 + Tax

Without seeing the condition of the framing or drywall.

Be prepared to budget for replacement of those things as well if your contractor recommends it. Many of us would not feel comfortable installing on damaged drywall.

Good luck with your project!

An acrylic glue down tub surround is not very expensive. Removing the old one from the drywall and installing the new one isn't a big job. If every thing went smooth, a local handy man could do this for as little as $1000.

There are many other factors that could add to that cost.

1. The quality of the surround you choose

2. The condition of the drywall after the old surround is removed.

3. The condition of the tub. If it is getting due for replacement, then that would be the time to do it

3. The condition of the taps and mixing valves, again, that would be the time to change them if they are at all questionable.

So a basic $1000 job could significantly increase, so have a contingency fund.
