Pricing is $29.99\/mo or $239.99\/yr, about $20\/mo on annual, with a 7-day free trial.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"pm__btn\" href=\"https:\/\/swcostestimator.app.link\/ce-ai\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">SimplyWise Cost Estimator<\/a><br \/>\n<\/section>\n<h2>Demo is where the swap earns or loses<\/h2>\n<p>An old alcove tub comes out through a wall you have to open, and what is behind it is unknown until then. Soft subfloor at the drain end, a rotted stud, a waste line that misses the new tub&rsquo;s drain.<\/p>\n<p>Three things decide the hours. Whether the tub is steel or cast iron, because iron comes out in pieces. Access to the waste and overflow, from below or by opening the floor. Whether the new valve fits the rough opening.<\/p>\n<h2>What the labor side pays<\/h2>\n<p>The occupation is Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters. The May 2025 national median wage was $30.67 an hour, the mean $34.70, across 465,840 people.<\/p>\n<p>The 25th percentile sits at $24.13, the 75th at $40.92, the 90th at $52.13.<\/p>\n<p>Those are wages an employer pays an employee. The survey excludes the self employed, so none of it is a billed rate.<\/p>\n<h2>A worked example, alcove swap<\/h2>\n<p>Stated inputs, builder grade. A Bootz Aloha steel tub at $219.00, a MAAX Elan wall kit at $139.00, a Danco 80977 drain trim kit at $24.99, a Delta Monitor 13 trim kit at $134.99, and four HardieBacker 500 sheets at $18.19, which is $72.76. Four sheets covers roughly 10 lineal ft of alcove to the 59 in top of the kit.<\/p>\n<p>Material lands at <strong>$590.74<\/strong>. The drain trim line is trim only, so the drain shoe and overflow tee are not in this number. The Sutherlands listing for the Delta kit reads MultiChoice valve included, so confirm what ships in the box against the part number before you add or drop a rough in valve line. Call it ten hours valued at the 75th percentile wage of $40.92, which is $409.20.<\/p>\n<p>Material plus wage is <strong>$999.94<\/strong>. That is a floor, not a price. No supplier or agency publishes a billed total, so neither do we.<\/p>\n<h2>Price a tub swap in four steps<\/h2>\n<ol class=\"pm__steps\">\n<li>\n<h3>Measure the alcove and the drain end<\/h3>\n<p>A 54 in opening does not take a 60 in tub. Confirm the drain is on the same end as the tub you quote.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Pick the material, then the surround<\/h3>\n<p>Enameled steel is the builder grade line. Acrylic and Vikrell cost more. The wall kit is a separate line.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Price drain trim and valve trim separately<\/h3>\n<p>Two different parts, two different tasks.
