Did this one with a buddy a few years back. Two cabinets and sink from ikea - $600 or so. Tub was maybe $600-$800. $150 toilet, $500 for tile and new vent fan. Closer to 40 sq feet, and probably a bit more expensive today, but nowhere close to some of the prices I’m seeing here.

Labor is out of control for these projects. I gutted a 1k square foot unit 3 years ago for $22k with a contractor. I’m talking wall to wall gut and replacement including plumbing. I got an estimate a couple months for my basement to get it re-dry walled and it was $15k.

Shit if I could get 20k in labor for a 2 week project I’d probably move into the biz.

I know people that moonlight doing side projects like this and they do pretty good $$$
