Extras

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.
What plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters and the other trades earn in Oregon
Oregon'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 1.29 times the national level.
Plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (47-2152), 50% of the weighting: a median of $46.66 an hour, 52% above the US median of $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $36.02 and $60.77 an hour. About 5,370 work in the state. That is 27.3 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 30.0 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
Tile and stone setters (47-2044), 50% of the weighting: a median of $28.27 an hour, 6% above the US median of $26.77. The middle half of them earn between $22.58 and $34.61 an hour. About 790 work in the state. That is 4.0 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 2.3 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters ($60.77 an hour) would add about $240 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($36.02) would take off about $180. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 1,967,130 jobs across Oregon (May 2025), which is 1.3% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
