What are you doing yourself and what are you hiring a professional for ? Is a plumber going to be hired for all the plumbing or will you do it yourself ? Do you have a second bathroom to use during the reno ? If not, then time is a factor and will affect the way you approach your project. Also, if you only had a tub before, you probably do not have an exhaust fan. I would highly recommend getting one installed if you are to install a shower to prevent moisture damage. Higher the sones, the quieter the unit & higher the price. You may need to hire an electrician if you cannot do this yourself. The more work you can take away from a professional, the more savings for you.<br><b>References : </b><br> I attempted to answer, but there are things I do not know.

Put up any wall board as needed and green board where needed.Mud tape and primer. Get plumber and the tile guy to convert shower / tub Set vanity and sink . Final paint, although you may prefer to paint when it wide open ( I do) Then finish stuff like fixtures and stool. Some minor variations in the order can be done sometimes , but that s the basic order. Any questions you can e mail me thru my avatar, I ve done bathrooms countless times.

Be sure you know what size vanity so the floor tiles fit.<br><b>References : </b><br> Take down all that tile first, you can still take a bath that way.
