I wanted to get some advice on what a bathroom reno entails so I know about how much it’ll cost and what to expect.

I live in a 1920′s brocik row house. The bathroom has penny tiles on the floor, and the shower is tiled almost to the ceiling. The rest of the walls are tiled almost halfway up the walls. So, would the plaster walls have to come down when the tiles come down? Do you tile over the plaster? Tile the ceiling over the shower? I know I want to replace the pipes and fixtures. What else do I need to be thinking about? Any other resources to read?
