Structural changes, such as moving plumbing lines or updating your subfloor, also impact the bottom line compared to a simple swap. Whether you opt for a sleek, minimalist look or a fully accessible spa-style setup, the hardware and labor choices dictate the cost. Your exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
