Designing Kitchens and Bathrooms - Two-person shower - how expensive?

We are converting most of our basement into a master suite, complete with a new master bath. We would *like* a two-person shower, and have room for one, but I am concerned with cost. We are able to get alot of materials for this remodel second hand (free) or used, so our bathroom material cost without the two-person shower is hovering around $1500, plus $1500 for the plumber.

Has anyone put in a two person shower and about how much does it cost? It would be fully tiled, with exception of the door, and be about 4'x6'. I am guesstimating about $1500 ($700 for tile, $300 for the door, $200 for fixtures, $300 for concrete board/etc.), not including the plumber. Is that too low?

Cost of materials and labor tend to vary among the different areas of the country. And, where you live, you will find that prices tend to vary among retailers and laborers.

Shop around for pricing of materials. Some do quite well finding materials at surplus supply stores. Some tile stores have discontinued or reduced priced tiles.

If not DIYing, get at least three estimates for the project if you are lucky enough to live somewhere where there are skilled people who are willing to work.

Sorry I forgot to mention... we will DIY all except the pipe work. After seeing part of our basement bathroom ceiling collapse because a DIYer didn't plumb the upstairs tub properly, and being afraid of water damage, it's one of the only things we hand over to an expert. And we have our plumber, ironically lowest bid and highest recommendations.

DIY will save labor costs. One thing you may add to your to-do list is shower pan.
