[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think 10k is very low as a bathtub does not normally fit in the footprint of a shower.  How badly do you really need one?[/quote]
Is it possible a tub was ripped out to create a shower? That's been a big trend with remodelers. If so, easier to recreate a tub arrangement.[/quote]

It was! Thus why there is space where the old tub was. The problem with removing bathtubs in all the bathrooms then trying to sell the houses, some people still need the bathtubs!

Will this be cheaper to put a tub back in?[/quote]

The question is the floor - if you have to change the plumbing and they open the floor, do you have matching tile to patch and repair? Also, any time you demo/open the walls you can find “surprises” especially in a shower. If you are close in DMV, I would say $5k is the best case scenario, assuming you put in Home Depot grade finishes, but it’s hard to find qualified ppl to do small jobs without the price gouging. If you assume $5-10k, you should be fine; just make sure they know what they are doing and can waterproof the space. [/quote]
