Okay, this tub drain is beyond what I am willing to do. I am sure I could eventually learn how to use a jack hammer, but I just want to take a shower! The first of 3 plumbers came by to give estimate to install tub drain. $500.00. He said he will have jack hammer up the concrete to get to the drain and install new one. That includes ME putting in the tub and he will then hook up drain to tub.
Since this is the first estimate, I was shocked. I wasn't expecting that he would have to jack hammer anything! I didn't know that the tub has to be in place before he can hook up the drain properly.
I have called for a total of 3 estimates. However, the last one I am not sure. I kept asking if he had a license. The secretary said the company is licensed. I told her that I understood that, but is the plumber himself licensed? Again she said "we " are licensed. I will ask when he gets here.
There is a picture below of the area.
