All kinds of variables here. Just installed Vikerell (great unit) for a customer where quite a bit of plumbing had to be updated. Re-plumbed, sheetrocked over enclosure; homeowner took care of the painting and all materials; labor turned out at right at $1000.

this plumber was @ at 2700 for shetrock, new drain, and Vikrell unit. Seemed kind of high to me. Saw unit he described for $600 say $300 for sheetrock and faucet. That leaves $1700 for install??
