One great way to get pricing on projects like this is to submit your project inquiry into one of the companies that helps match you with qualified remodeling contractors.
For example, at http://www.remodelingintown.com/ you can submit your project info for free, and then lots of contractors can see the project. They have this technology that makes sure the contractors who can actually do your job can then contact you to give you an estimate. I think it’s pretty cool cuz you can save money once you get a bunch of quotes, ya know?
If the drains are big enough for a sink, toilet and bath, the rest of the install will be about the same as any other bathroom since supply lines do not run in the slab. If you only have one floor drain as in most basements, you will need to trench in new sewer drain connections, and that could be both expensive, and crack your foundation slab. If you have the head room, you might consider a raised floor.
Labor for this kind of job shouldn’t be much since you’re already roughed in, and if you ahve your tub and sinks and the like, you’re looking at about a day and half of work. Call a local lplumber for hourly charges - my husband is aplumber and they charge about $70 per hour in labor.
