Basement Bathrooms · Published packages
Basement bath.
Fixed price.
Rough-in to finish — ejector pits, tile showers, body sprays. The whole plumbing scope, quoted up front. I do the plumbing right and permit-ready. You bring your tile guy.
What I handle
The plumbing — rough-in, ejector, shower system, and finish. Permit-ready, by one licensed plumber.
Framing, tile, and drywall are your contractor's lane. I stay in mine and do it right — so when the inspector comes it passes, and when you turn the tap, it works.
1 · The rough-in
Before the concrete closes up.
The plumbing that disappears into the floor and walls. Get this wrong and it's a jackhammer to fix — so this is where the 25 years earn their keep.
3-Piece Rough-In
Toilet, vanity, and shower or tub. Drains, vents, water supply — plus a permit-ready drawing. The bones done right, before the concrete and framing close up.
$2,900 – 3,800
+ Sewage Ejector Pit
For basements below the sewer line. Sealed basin, pump, check valve, and alarm — code-compliant and properly vented.
$2,400 – 3,500
The floor · your call
Who breaks the concrete?
Most basement baths need the slab opened for the under-floor drains and the ejector. Two ways to handle that — your call.
You break the slab
You or your contractor cut the concrete and haul the dirt out. I run the plumbing in the open trench, then it's yours to patch — no floor charge from me.
Your scope
I break + patch the floor
I cut the slab, dig the trench, and haul the dirt away — dump fees included — then set the plumbing, bring in fresh concrete, and patch it flush. You walk down to a finished floor.
from $800
2 · The shower system
From simple to spa.
Valve, drain, and the upgrades — body sprays and rain heads roughed in correctly, so they actually have the flow to perform.
Standard Shower
Pressure-balance valve and drain. Clean, reliable, no fuss.
$550 – 800
Tile-Shower Package
Valve, pan or linear drain, and niche prep — roughed and ready for your tile setter.
$1,200 – 1,800
+ Body Sprays (per pair)
Thermostatic valve upgrade to handle the flow, plus the spray rough-ins and trim.
+$800 – 1,200
+ Rain Head
Ceiling or wall rough-in and trim.
+$300 – 450
3 · The finish
Once the tile's in.
I come back and set every fixture, then test it with you.
3-Fixture Trim-Out
Once your tile and drywall are in: I set the toilet, vanity faucet, and shower trim — then test every one with you.
$900 – 1,400
4 · The whole thing

Common questions
Straight answers.
Do I need a sewage ejector pit?
If your basement floor sits below the municipal sewer line, yes — waste can't drain by gravity, so a sealed ejector basin and pump lift it up to the main. I install the pit, pump, check valve, alarm, and vent, all code-compliant and properly vented.
Can this make a legal basement suite?
The plumbing I install — proper venting, an ejector where needed, and separate metered-ready fixtures — meets code for a second suite. Whether the suite is fully legal also comes down to egress, fire separation, and your city's zoning; your contractor and the municipality handle that side, and I handle the plumbing to code.
Do you do the tile and framing too?
No — and that's on purpose. I'm a plumber, not a general contractor. I do the plumbing right — rough-in, ejector, shower system, finish trim — and you bring your tile and drywall guy. You get a specialist on the one part that's a jackhammer to fix if it's done wrong.
What fixtures do you install?
Moen and Delta, sourced through Emco and Noble — pressure-balance and thermostatic valves, body sprays, and rain heads. Quality lines with parts you can still get decades from now.
How long does the plumbing take?
Rough-in is usually 1–2 days; the finish trim is a half-day once your tile is in. You get the timeline in writing with your fixed quote — no surprises.
