It’s a second floor, somewhat tight stairs, but tbh, he came in the back entrance and not the entrance that would be taken, so I can’t imagine that factored into his estimate! He also didn’t mention opening the walls, but I would understand that being more expensive. The tub’s worn, had 35 years of stains in it that don’t clean easily, and missing a drain cover (I bought one that rests in it but it doesn’t work as well as I’d like — I asked a plumber about it and he said that the whole tub would have to be replaced in order to replace the drain, ugh). It’s fiberglass so I didn’t think reglazing an option, hmm… I can look into that. Thanks for the response!

Sounds like he’s giving you a “I don’t want to do your small job” quote. Like others said, go straight to a plumber, shouldn’t be more then a day worth of labor, probably less than $1000 + materials.
