this sounds about right. $25K is still a lot. [/quote]

$25k is not the number. You’re playing to the high-end of exotic tile estimates.

We recently did this and it cost us $5k. The numbers broke down this way:

Demo bathtub and old tile wall and build a new shower stall with niche, including all building parts and complete job/tile/fixture labor: $3k

Polished Porcelain marble-look 12x24” tile from Lowes for walls: $250

Polished porcelain mosaic tile from Lowes: $150

Kohler shower fixtures from Lowes: $250

Glass door partition and sliding glass door with handle and towel bar, installed from Dulles Glass: $1000
