Leslie D on Sep 27, 2012Depends on the type of flooring in those areas. Is it sheet linoleum, carpet or tile? The list of jobs would probably be: 1. Repair plumbing leaks (this cost would depend on whether you have corroded pipes, loose connections or leaking valves. Sounds like a good handyman could handle this, without the need for a plumber. 2. Remove existing flooring and toilet and patch subfloor. 3. Replace flooring (material cost and labor for laying that would determine cost). 4. Reset toilet with new wax ring (assuming the toilet itself isn't broken). 5. Replace leaking faucet unless new seat & spring (inside faucet) could fix the problem and corrosion could be cleaned (is it dripping when off, or leaking around the base?). All of these items would determine final cost. Assuming sheet linoleum is your flooring material and that leaks can be easily fixed, most of your cost will be in the labor. I could easily see 8 hours labor for 2 guys, and replacement using lower-end materials. Best case scenario would be about $800 - $1000, worst case $1500-$2000, depending on whether a new toilet is needed, if tiling is involved and materiasl chosen, and if new faucet and piping is needed.Helpful Reply
