|---|---|---|
| Demolition and disposal | $800–$2,500 | Higher in pre-1960 homes with mud-set tile floors |
| Plumbing rough-in | $1,200–$7,000 | Low for a like-for-like swap; high the moment a drain relocates |
| Electrical, GFCI and ventilation | $700–$3,200 | Many pre-1970 bathrooms have no exhaust fan at all |
| Waterproofing membrane system | $600–$2,200 | The line cheap quotes omit and the reason showers fail in year three |
| Tile and installation | $1,800–$9,000 | Large-format and mosaic both add labour over standard field tile |
| Vanity and countertop | $800–$6,000 | Stock through custom; double vanities roughly double this line |
| Fixtures — toilet, tub, shower, trim | $1,200–$7,500 | |
