Not bad for work done. Seems to be an average price ~ amenities you're adding in.

The other half is who's unhappy, which is why I'm asking for a (likely to be ignored) sanity check.Quote:

Totally fair from your description.
Probably not too bad of price. Was that with a granite counter top?
Agree, sounds legit based on the description. If the "other" half wants to negotiate with a contractor who already did the work, let her do so...while standing behind her signaling to the contractor that she is crazy. :)
Only question I would have is did they pull a permit? If not, that is on you as much as them, but might be a bargaining chip.
Supplies cost me about $2.5K to do my complete bathroom in 2009 that sounds like it was close to what yours is. Gutted and complete remodel, brother-in-law did the drywall. Took about 80 hours all in and I did not buy high end fixtures or tile.
If you are happy with the work and the outcome, pay the man and be happy and thankful for a job well done.
Sounds about right to me.
My kitchen guy ballpark quoted $8K for a small bath with new (replacement) tile floor, new tub, mix valves, tile to ceiling. Toilet I can do and already bought to matchy matchy the others (they're cheap). Vanity and wall cabinet was considered out of play, and I'll probably just get a manufactured top/bowl that "looks" like granite.
Master bath ballpark was more like $20K but that also was two small rooms with a large double bowl vanity and top. Toilet/shower in one room, sinks in the other. New mixer valve, tile shower, glass door, new (replacement) tile floor. Tile into 2nd room. Drywall refinish.
If you're happy with the work, sounds fair price.
That said, I'm hoping to negotiate a better deal using a tile guy and doing some of the work myself.
Now, paying $10K for a new hardwood floor that ends up 2" off on a 48' span is something to be pissed about. Ask me how I know.
Couple layers of quarter round ought to fix you right up brutal.
We got our final bill today for a new bathroom and the total was right at $6700. I'd already purchased almost everything except some building materials. The guy charged $80/hr labor for himself and his helper.
