[quote=Anonymous]The person quoted $35k for a small rowhouse bath must have sucker written on their forehead.

You can do each for $15k and it will look quite lovely, so long as you avoid high end materials. That's not to say it needs to look cheap -- everyone with an eye for design knows that the cheap marble subway tiles from HD can make a bathroom look super high end (just by way of example). You just have to make sure when you go to the store, you don't get talked into, say, the $800 toto toilet when you can buy a good American Standard one for $250.  The big cost drivers will be moving plumbing (cost will vary depending on far you move it. Moving a toilet 8 inches - not bad. Moving a toilet 5 feet with the joists - not bad. Moving a toilet 5 feet against the joists - $4000).  Glass shower enclosure - we paid almost $4000 for a basic shower. Conversely, a bathtub shower rod is $25.  And amount of tile work. For instance, tile just around a tub - $500. Tile a whole bathroom - $2500.  The rest of the stuff can be pretty standard in a small bathroom - basic tile floor, midlevel double vanity, basic mirror, plumbing, faucet, fixtures, basic electrical work, bathtub -- all that including labor can be done for $12k, and there shouldn't be too much variation on costs in a small bathroom. The variation comes from the other items I listed above, and from surprises. [/quote]
