A professional licensed plumber typically charges between $175 and $350 in total labor and service call fees to replace a standard bathtub drain basket and waste shoe assembly. If the replacement requires cutting open an access panel behind the tub wall or repairing corroded subfloor piping, total costs can range from $350 to $650. Verification: Fill the bathtub and pull the plug to verify that water empties rapidly without leaking underneath the tub.
