The current space where the bathroom will be is a laundry room so this area already has plumbing or atleast water lines and a drain pipe going down from it. I have a basement so there will not be any slab related work either. Just tearing up a some drywall, some basic framing , new drywall, adding a door, the plumbing etc. White Drapes With Fairy LightsAll that being said i understand you can have a huge range of prices tags depending on the fixtures etc in a bathroom.80'S Prom Dresses Size 8 a) What i am trying to gauge is how much would it cost to put in a regular shower, potty and bathroom sink given what i have mentioned above.Aqua Blue Chevron Curtains b) how long do contractors generally take to do this kind of work. I have other questions, as in will the current drain pipe have to be replaced with a new one if i add a potty etc ..

but i am guessing that can only be answered if someone came and saw the actuall pipes.

Adding fixtures means that supply lines farther "upstream" will probably need to be increased in size to deliver design flow to an increased number of fixtures. And the drain for the washer is going to be 2", not the 3" pipe needed for a toilet. If the main drain standpipe is in the adjacent wall, not too bad. If it is several feet away, or in the other end of the house, a new standpipe to the crawlspace, with adequate slope to the exterior drain would be required. Additionally, structural framing may well be in the way, as it usually is in bathrooms. Depending on the nature of the framing, it may be very expensive to cut/move/bridge floor framing to accommodate a toilet and shower/tub drain. Thanks everybody for the replies.

I am guessing i'll have to spend atleast 10K based on your answers. I didnt know plumbing upstream would have to be changed given it is a laundry room with the hot/cold water lines running there. The existing laundry room is adjacent to an exterior wall and access to the attic is available and easy so hopefully exhaust fans etc should not be too hard. Would the floor need to be bridged etc even if its just a shower stall ? not a tub ? Also would having basement access to the pipes below the house make it any cheaper.. Either ways i get some quotes from contractors. Thanks for the responses.

Pick good ones who have done significant remodeling many times. By "bridging," I mean cross-bracing joists if any have to be cut or notched extremely for plumbing installation. Drains take up a lot of space in the floor cavity.

If your toilet drain, a 3" I.D. pipe has to run perpendicular to the joists there could be some severe carpentry involved. And a shower drain has to find the main drain, which means drilling, notching, etc. You want that carpentry done right. And cutting and bridging could entail having to add joists, which would be difficult and expensive. When running waterlines, I was taught that any line serving more than 5 fixtures would have to be 3/4" waterline to provide proper volume. Rule of thumb, with some basis, I believe. Your washing machine is one fixture. If the waterline feeding it, a 1/2" line is fed off a 3/4" line, and you add a toilet, two vanities, and a tub/shower unit, that is 4 additional fixtures, maxing it out at the 5. But, it is probably NOT fed directly from a 3/4" waterline, if it shares supply with another upstairs bath, so upsizing may be needed. 247 posts, read 479,779 times Probably more than $10K. Last year I had my master bathroom renovated...basically gutted and replaced a tub with a walk-in shower,new toilet, vanity, sink, etc....and all the correct plumbing and electrical was there already....and that was $15K.
