Total cost for removing the old tub and installing a new one can run $1,500-$5,000 or more but averages $2,500-$3,500 depending on the ease of access, local rates, the quality of the new fixtures, and the extent of the repairs/replacements for the walls, plumbing and flooring.
The next step up on the renewal scale is to replace an old tub or shower with a fiberglass or plastic insert that includes integrated wall panels. According to Paul Nygren, of Nygren Remodeling, Inc. , in Minneapolis, this type of job costs about $2,000 to $3,000.
