Hello, hope some of the pros can give me an idea of what it should cost to move some plumbing. Right now we have a standard sized tub in our master bath. Where it sits there's room for a garden tub and my wife would like to get one. Before we get into all this I'm trying to approximate the cost of this. We live in Texas and have a concrete foundation. The house was built in 1980 and my guess is that the current drain is cast iron. I'm assuming the drain will need to be moved over to re-center with the garden tub and the water supply lines as well, right? And the plumber would probably want to replace the cast iron with PVC to the main drain, right? Is there any way to get a ball park idea of what this should cost? I know I can call a plumber and get an estimate but the ones around here will charge just to come give an estimate and I'll have no idea if he's full of it or if he's giving me a fair price. In case it matters the tub is against an outside wall on the long side and sandwiched between two closets on the short ends. I can take or draw a picture if someone things it's needed. Thanks in advance.
