We stayed with friends over the weekend and they have a fancy walk in tiled shower with extra jets on the side and a bench with an additional handheld shower head in the back. Just curious what that runs. Oh heated towel rack too and heated floor tiles in another part of the house.

That's a must in my dream home. Walk in shower, no doors or glass. Fuck that stuff, that breaks first or gets nasty.
Would be all tiled, however someone mentioned marble. Hmmmm, I'd have to look into that. Probably not but still interesting. I'm trying to figure out how a bench is useful, maybe some shower sex or just drinking beer for an hour in the shower. I'm kinda digging that idea now. |

Last house I lived in I used cultured marble for cost savings and ease of installation, about 4-5 grand total.
If you are very thrifty, do a lot of the work yourself, and skimp on materials even more than I did you could probably do it for less. Start getting extravagant and there really is no upper limit to the cost. The glass doors I really wanted to use would have been about 5K just in and of itself. I compromised by going with a Kohler "frameless" (which wasn't actually frameless, true framless glass shower doors are stupid expensive) that was IIRC around $500. Warning: When you have a shower that can fit 4-6 comfortably with showerheads on both sides, people are going to assume you are a kinkster. It just goes with the territory. Have a good sense of humor about the comments you are bound to receive. |

5600 ish for the whole thing assuming your not in the big apple. That's also assuming you did the demolition to a point. Heated tiles on the rest of the floor in the bathroom will run about a extra 600 if electric and already redoing the tile. Rain shower system is just like it sounds, heavy or light rain from the ceiling. This ofcourse depending on if any other issues were found.

I remember going into Home Depot Expo a few years ago and seeing showers like this for around 20K. They had some uber expensive stuff in that place.
The HD Expo by me is now closed, victim of the economy I guess. |

2500 to 3 grand, depending on the size you need. (Let's say 4X6)
Now if you need a "room", all bets are off. |

Get the built-in seat. You won't regret it. You'll think up uses for it. Trust me on this.
Three years ago we had a bathtub replaced with a fiberglass walk-in shower. The additional price of the seat was negligible. We had several grab bars added because of our age. Turnkey installation was about $5k. If your tub is more than a few years old, be prepared for a shock when you turn on the shower. The force and flow is nowhere near what we were used to, thanks to .gov regulations. |

There are a lot if variables; type of tile, fixtures, glass work, extras like the towel rack you mentioned. We just finished building and our tile cost was included in the bathroom tile so I don't know the break out. I do know the glass work alone was a few grand for ours and we used natural travertine marble tile so it jacked the price up. Some of the extras though are less than you think, we added heated floors and it was only like an extra $1200. I could easily see spending $5-10k.
I do have an octopus drain though
