Oklahoma metro-by-metro prices
2 of the 2 metros sit above the statewide midpoint of $1,650, and the top-to-bottom gap is 0%. Each row prices the default size with that metro's own BLS wages and BEA price levels, so the gap between rows is real local variation rather than a flat markup.

|---|---|---|---|
| Oklahoma City, OK | $820 – $2,500 | $1,650 | +1% |
| Tulsa, OK | $810 – $2,500 | $1,650 | +1% |

Why two Oklahoma quotes can differ
Pre-made versus custom
Pre-made trays are $500-$1,550 installed; a custom tile pan is $900-$3,500; a custom stone pan is $1,200-$2,000 or more (HomeGuide).
Extras
Benches, trench drains and curb changes add $100-$600.
Tile
Tile for the shower costs $10-$50 per square foot installed, and that comes on top of the pan.
Permit
Plumbing permits are $30-$500, and many cities require one to replace a shower pan.
Wages behind the Oklahoma number
Oklahoma's labor line is priced from 2 trades, each compared with its US median wage. After weighting by each trade's share of the work, the state comes out at 0.85 times the national level.
Plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (47-2152), 50% of the weighting: a median of $27.87 an hour, 9% below the US median of $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $21.78 and $35.69 an hour. About 6,050 work in the state. That is 35.4 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 30.0 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
Tile and stone setters (47-2044), 50% of the weighting: a median of $21.32 an hour, 20% below the US median of $26.77. The middle half of them earn between $17.40 and $25.57 an hour. About 280 work in the state. That is 1.6 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 2.3 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters ($35.69 an hour) would add about $130 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($21.78) would take off about $100. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 1,707,680 jobs across Oklahoma (May 2025), which is 1.1% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (47-2152) | 50% | $21.78 | $27.87 | $35.69 | $30.67 | 0.91 | state |
| Tile and stone setters (47-2044) | 50% | $17.40 | $21.32 | $25.57 | $26.77 | 0.80 | state |
