I live in NYC, and I know that the cost of living is high here for everyone.
However I was a bit shocked by the bid I just got for my bathroom rehab.
I was quoted the following:
(Note that all prep, demolition, debris removal and fixtures are supplied by others. This is just to show up and do the plumbing part).
Install new sink and toilet in existing locations $1650.
Additional charge to replace lead bend for toilet if it can't be extended $695
Install new lead pan in 3'x3' shower $2195
Then if I want to swap the position of the toilet and tub, which means moving the branch lines and waste lines about five feet there is an additional charge of $15300
Does this bid make sense, even in NYC? I can't imagine that swapping out the sink, toilet and shower pan is more than a days' work, and that alone is nearly $4000.
