The cost of hiring a professional to install a tub typically ranges from $300 to $500. However, the cost may be higher or lower depending on the type of tub you choose and the complexity of the installation. For example, a jacuzzi tub can be more expensive to install than a standard tub because it requires additional plumbing and wiring. If you are trying to save money, you can install the tub yourself. However, it is important to note that improper installation can lead to water damage and other problems. If you are not comfortable installing the tub yourself, it is best to hire a professional.

It depends on a lot of factors, like the distance from the plumbing hookups, the type of tub (if it's a standard tub or an irregular one), and how much work is actually required. Generally speaking, plumbers will charge around $100-300 for installing a tub.
