According to
http://www.jonathanpress.com/97-98-Oct-Jun/lifexpec.htm
The average life expectancy of bathroom products and materials varies from 10 to 15 years for fiberglass bathtubs and showers to 50 years for cast iron bathtubs and commodes. Shower doors last about 25 years. The average life expectancy of a toilet is 10 to 15 years, but the longevity of toilet seats has declined with the substitution of plastic for metal bolts. Medicine cabinets and bath vanities are expected to last 20 years; the paint finish in the interior of medicine cabinets usually wears down, causing the metal to rust from moisture in the bathroom.
