You were writing/posting the other one while I was writing/posting here. LOL
quote; Sometimes the top cap is a little large for a drain.
If we are referring to the same drain, the "top cap" is ALWAYS too large for the drain, as it is supposed to be.
$700 for just the pan - waterproofing and flood test?
I charge roughly $150 for a cement curb $85.00 a square for the pan and waterproofing with flood test.
3'x4' shower 12 square * 85 $900 + $150 curb Roughly $1050.00 for the base. No tile - No grout. .
Pricing is gonna have to wait, RSCB. Its cold in Vegas when the house your working on is in Utah. Cold morning last winter was -22°F. Glad I have an ICF basement.
....who is coming in behind me and possibly damaging my work? ............
If the plumber is installing a ld school liner then it's roughly $1,100 per fixture. The shower would be counted as one fixture if there is not a crazy amount of stuff. Typically for this price you get the rough in work. Flood test. Pressure test. Liner. Cheap Ass drain. Thermostatic rough in. Shower head. Hand held supply. Trim. Price does not include the plubing fixtures but does include the liner, the cheap ass drain, water lines and waste and vent lines.

dhagin said:Sure, a guy can shoot out a ballpark number, but the truth is all jobs are different and pricing will vary. Sometimes it varies a whole bunch.
To make any pricing discussion have merit, some parameters need to be defined imo.
Thanks Roberto cerob, pretty sure were talkin about kind of a fixed price for a std budget 3 x 3 shower ? Maybe we can clear things up and help folks understand what it should cost and why? What to look for? And what the various components may cost in Your area currently?
How much is your preferred shower pan and whats all included?
Im thinkin its a curious pricing topic!
If the fixed price for a standard budget 3x3 would be more defined -- what is included ( plumbing , tear off , electrical , carpentry , tile , etc . ) -- it would be easier to have a closer range to define a price . In general , someone with a limited price or budget , would not look at options or different ways of doing , except something that is already advertised or meet the demands of the fixed price -- regular vs. epoxy grout , flexible sealant at all changes of planes on tiled surfaces , acrylic vs. tiled shower base floors , etc. --
preferred shower pan -- standard one -- would be a mud base with a Schluter regular drain or ACO , Schluter , Deco drain as linear drains -- others can also work -- , hybrid membrane system -- more than the recommended specs . -- , which can go for about 700 to 1,000 $ + the amount for the drain -- flood test included -- .
OK so to be clear one more time, .... we simply are trying to understand what a 3x3 basic no frills yet quality built shower should cost and helping clarify what a real tile pro would charge. We understand material and location changes things........whats it like in your area? ballpark is fine.
This is awkward, but...
