        "text": "The total cost depends primarily on the fixture grade, installation labor, and whether rough-in lines require modification. Basic finish trim replacements installed onto existing compatible valves carry minimal labor costs. Expenses rise when a project requires replacing concealed in-wall shower valves, upgrading old galvanized or deteriorating copper supply lines, or adjusting drain placement for a new freestanding tub or double vanity. Premium materials like solid brass, custom thermostatic shower systems, and specialty finishes also impact the fixture budget.",
