How much would it cost to put a shower in a half bath?

I'm moving in a few weeks and I'd like to turn the half bath into a full bath, but only for a few hundred dollars. Can it be done?How much would it cost to put a shower in a half bath?
Sorry, even if you DIY the material alone for a fiber glass pan and a surround is close to a 1000$. This wouldn t even include a tub , just a shower unit. Plus all the plumbing supplies etc.Then you ll have new flooring most likely...GLHow much would it cost to put a shower in a half bath?
I have done this. It was not easy as most half baths are not large enough to do this without moving stuff around and thus it has to be on the 1st floor with a basement below that allows you to get at the plumbing. Online, you can find prefab shower stalls (also at big box building stores) but not for under about a thousand plus the plumbing. You could build your own shower stall and just buy the floor tray (at most building big box stores). In order to do this you need to be able to do basic carpentry and basic plumbing. It is not hard but you need to get to the library and read up before you try it and then plan everything out in great detail before you pick up a hammer. The job I did cost about 1700 with me doing all of the labor but it works. If you know anyone who is handy with carpentry or plumbing get them to help.
Let me get this straight - you want to add a bathtub to an existing shower?


If you are thinking about hiring someone in this economy - you will likely find someone willing to do the work for real cheap. Look them up on craigs list or something.


Cheapest tub is like $130 + $60 to $80 for other hardware + a few new replacement tiles (if you can find matching tile) + $200 to 600 for labor depending on your luck.


So, yeah, it can potentially be done for a few hundred.

No, with new piping, water in drain out. Permits, Wall covering, tile or fiber glass, you will have $3000 to $10,000.


Sorry......
