What affects the price
- Tub type. Soaking-only models cost the least. Two-seat and luxury models cost the most.
- Jets and heated features. Hydrotherapy jets and heated seats usually need an electrician, which adds cost.
- Plumbing changes. If drains or supply lines need to move, expect extra plumbing labor.
- Accessibility add-ons. Grab bars, quick-drain systems and handheld showers add to the price.
How to get an accurate quote
- Get at least three quotes. Prices for the same job often vary a lot between contractors.
- Compare the same scope. Make sure each quote covers the same materials, removal, permits and cleanup.
- Check license and insurance. Ask for proof of insurance and look up the contractor's license with your state.
- Get it in writing. A written estimate should list the work, the price, the payment schedule and the warranty.
