I am a master carpenter with over 30 years of remodeling experience. I have done many bathrooms. They are by far the hardest room in a house to deal with.  The tracking through the house, inability to have more than one person in the room, color matching fixtures/tile, issues with fixtures, etc. They are time consuming and can drag on. Most of the plumbers I know don’t want to get involved if the home is historic or there is much in the way of problem solving. And I know many contractors who wont touch bathroom remodels and many who shouldn’t. There are a lot of details to bring together.

If you do it yourself, don't rush.  Put time into working through details like adding blocking wherever you will have a grab bar or toilet paper holder. Try to test the shower pan before closing in the walls. Your tub likely had a 1-1/2” drain line and it should be 2” for shower, so you will probably be doing some plumbing. Try to line up everything ahead of time, but if elements aren’t working as envisioned take time to work through the design.
