I hired Dave to replace the drain and overflow plumbing, install a roman tub faucet, and install a fiberglass soaking-tub that was already roughed-in and only needed to be secured in place. Dave charged me $2750, which was mostly to cover labor for himself. The only items purchased to complete the work were a few pipes on the drain, new overflow/stopper, mortar, and a couple pieces of lumber. There was no breakout of fees charged, hourly rate, or parts cost. All of the work I paid Dave to do could have been done in a single day, but Dave took two days to do it. After a couple days of sitting full of water to keep it weighted down into the mortar footing Dave poured, the tub still moves freely as it did before. After calling and speaking with Dave, he was only willing to come out and put a bead of caulk around the tub, which most definitely would not secure it in place. Aside from the tub not being secured, the faucet that Dave installed is not properly centered.
