The bathroom is very small maybe 8×10 at BEST.
It needs to be completly gutted.
Only half the bathroom will be tiled (floor and half the shower area)
I am supplying the fixtures, toilet, new tub, and tile.
The contractor supplies the rest.
Approx what should I expect to pay? What have you paid in the past?
