If the schedule slips by one week a make up schedule now must be submitted.The contractor must list all subcontractors he will contract out to and you introduce you and you go over with them can they meet the schedule if not they are out.If this contractor is not performing as agreed send out a delay notice to put it on record in your files.Penalties should be included in the contract for liquidated damages and your contract should say you have the sole right to supplement the work regardless of who's name the permit is under and hopefully the permit is in your name.

If the water damage is getting into the next room, you may be talking lots of sheetrock work, flooring, some frame replacement and then the shower itself...... cost will vary depending on cheap fiberglass drop in or full tile etc etc....No way to comment on the cost....it may be dead on..... not enough info to comment
