How much would it cost in labour alone to rip out a steel bathtub (rip out only, no disposal) and ceramic tile surround? Then install a 3 piece acrylic tub and shower combo?
Please provide two estimates.
1) With there being no problems behind the wall.
2) With there being problems behind the wall.
Thank you!
it would cost around 600 just to rip and install new the 3 piece one.
as for the second quote no one would ever be able to give you a quote just like that and before ripping the old tub cause there are so many problems that can happen plumbing wise. your p trap could be leaking or rough in or pipes etc etc and each problem cost a different amount to fix
What you are looking for is almost impossible to say anything without actually seeing the situation. eg. how tight is the washroom, stairs???
The rip out can take 2-3 hours.
Installation should be between 4 - 5 hours
but you have issues to deal with in between because as you said there is tile on the walls so drywall or lack-thereof can play into this. Inevitably plumbing will be an issue as with regards the drain because in will most likely need to cut out. you can check this web site

1 days work..$400.. Do it yourself..cheaper
Demo Labour: $800.00
Install 3pc acrylic tub/shower combination: $1500,00 + gst, plumber costs inclusive.
Given that you have the correct rebuild materials and product for the project. If you are wanting to use Moen plumbing products then installation is additional due to the unreliable parts inside the units.
