The Bath Fitter Fam Podcast

What could possibly go wrong during a bathroom remodel?

Apparently… a lot.

In this special Halloween episode of the Bath Fitter Fam Podcast, Dori Long and Andrew Murphy react to some of the strangest, funniest, and downright unbelievable stories our team has encountered in the field.

We’re talking a bathroom filling with dirt thanks to some unexpected underground residents, a snake hiding beneath a bathtub, vinyl siding and a GUTTER inside a shower, one seriously creepy toilet clog, an unforgettable customer prank, and a remodel that somehow ended with seven grab bars.

Some are funny. Some are bizarre. And a few sound like they belong in a horror movie.

Welcome to Remodel Nightmares — where sometimes the scariest part of a bathroom remodel is finding out what’s already there.

The Bath Fitter Fam Podcast — Episode 2

The answer isn’t as simple as one number. Will and Cam explain what drives shower remodel costs up or down, why bathroom remodeling quotes can vary so much between companies, and what homeowners should look for beyond the initial price.

They cover everything from shower doors, accessories, materials, and custom features to warranties, contractor qualifications, hidden costs, financing, and long-term value.

And yes, they finally give a ballpark. For the type of shower projects discussed in this episode, they explain that many projects may fall in the $8,500–$15,000 range, depending on the design, conditions, accessories, and customization involved. Highly customized projects can go beyond that range.

If you’re researching shower replacement costs, tub-to-shower conversions, bathroom remodeling prices, Bath Fitter pricing, or shower financing options, this episode will help you understand what you’re actually paying for, and what questions you should ask before signing a contract.
