The costs associated with moving plumbing in a bathroom renovation heavily depend on the scope of work. For a minor adjustment, like moving a sink or raising a shower head, the cost will be lower; but for major changes, like relocating a shower or tub across the room, it can be more expensive. You also need to factor in the cost of new pipes and materials, fixtures, drywall and flooring, and unexpected issues such as mold or rot. Plumbers rates in NYC can vary from $50–$150 per hour, and the number of hours needed will depend on the complexity of the work, including the type of plumbing and how easy it is to access the pipes. The work will likely require permits, which can add additional costs. It’s important to consult a professional plumber or licensed general contractor to find out exact costs, but a homeowner should expect to spend at least $1,000–$10,000 to move plumbing.
