re: Shower hardware replacement

You will have to replace the whole thing. I just ran into this doing some work at a neighbors house. There were no markings so I pulled the valve and found markings to tell it was Glacier Bay. Glacier Bay no longer made the valve/diverter set up she had so she bought a whole new Delta set up. I opened the wall and pulled it. Upon doing this I discovered the plumber sweated fittings on because if the threaded adapters were installed the valve did not fit in the wall so I had to notch the studs to make it fit. Some of those valve bodies say not to sweat to them even if the internals are removed so I suspect that’s why her Glacier Bay didn’t seem to work. Make sure your plumber follows the instructions.
Pneumatic with compressor is cheapest route. I bought the cheapest one from Home Depot years ago, not sure the brand and it’s still going strong. About to use jt on my fence build.
I did a basement for someone not too long ago. They had a bar with tile around it. Getting the tile out is a bitch and that part will cost you a few thousand. There’s a hydraulic machine that pops it off then you need to bring in a floor grinder and control the dust.

The LVP install should be 3-5 bucks a square foot. Get the thickest you can and try out the interlocks on them. The stainmaster from Lowe’s would not lock consistently, it was almost like the tiles were banana shaped. You should have the toilets pulled and flanges cut out and reset on top of the floor.

What are you taking out where there is no tile?

Say 3k to remove the tile 2k to remove and reinstall toilet flanges, 10k for the floor install, 2k for the quarter round to total 18k, but I’m missing demo of the rest of your existing floor, plus materials. 26k might not be far off….

Get a 2023 or up….the 10 speed transmission is fixed in those years…the 3.5 ecoboost is fine…use the premium gas and change the oil frequently and you won’t have problems
