looking for a general estimate for bathroom renovations

im hoping to get an idea of how much i might expect to pay to have some new ceramic tile installed in a small bathroom.. about 20 sq feet at the most. 2 old layers need to be removed (yes, 2 layers of ceramic tile, one on top of the other), and new tile installed. the sink and cabinet will also need to be replaced. im looking for an estimated price of the labor, the cost of the materials is yet to be determined. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

for $20 you can get a heavy hammer and chisel and do the demo yourself. pretty easy there. the tiling and plumbing are potentially a do-it-yourself project too depending on how handy and confident you feel.

tiling, itself isn't too hard and should only cost af few hundred dollars in labor. materials can go anywhere from $1-$30 sq/ft. installing sinks and toilets is relatively cheap too, particularly if you buy the units yourself. also shouldn't be more than a few hundred dollars.

f you don't know what you're doing, it's going to look like cr*p... Do you know if the plumbing behind the wall is in good shape? if not, this would be the time to replace it... anyway, except to pay bet 3 to 10 for a redone bathroom, depending on how upscale the fixtures and contractor is.
