Around Belleville Lake you get everything from converted cottages to new construction, and the older cottage bathrooms almost never have a standard-size alcove.
ZIP codes we cover in Belleville & Van Buren: 48111
Lakefront cottages plus 1970s-2000s subdivisions. The Belleville Lake area mixes older converted cottages with newer subdivision homes, so tub alcoves here range from non-standard cottage dimensions to modern builder sizes.
That single fact drives most of what a job here costs. The age of the house determines whether the tub is cast iron or fiberglass, whether there's plaster or drywall behind the tile, and whether the bathroom is upstairs at the top of a narrow staircase. Knowing that before we arrive is why we can quote Belleville & Van Buren accurately over the phone instead of sending someone out to look.
From $6,995
installed · financing available
Remove the old bathtub entirely and replace it with a low-threshold walk-in shower — new base, new waterproof walls, new fixtures.
Keep your existing tub. We cut a low step-through opening in the wall of it and finish the edges with a molded insert.
A full Ella's Bubbles walk-in bathtub with a sealing door, molded seat, grab bars and optional hydrotherapy jets.
Starting prices, installed. Your fixed quote depends on alcove size, existing tub material and the finishes you choose. Financing available with approved credit.
Practical detail people don't think about until the day: we need to get a tub out and a shower base in. In tighter Belleville & Van Buren streets and older homes with narrow doorways and turns at the top of the stairs, that's a real consideration.
We cut cast iron down in place rather than carrying it out whole, which solves most of it. But it's worth mentioning your layout when you call — a second-floor bathroom at the end of a tight hallway is a different quote than a main-floor one.
We measure
Alcove width, doorway clearance, tub material. Ten minutes, and it's what makes the quote accurate.
Wall panel or tile, bench or no bench, glass or curtain. Fixed price either way.
Floors covered before anything moves. Tub out, base in, walls up, fixtures on.
We run the water with you, show you everything, and answer questions before we leave.
The fastest route to a price: email one wide photo of your bathroom plus the width of the tub alcove to bob@detroittubs.com. We can usually quote Belleville & Van Buren the same day without coming out at all.

Yes — cast iron is common in older Metro Detroit homes and we cut it down in place rather than trying to carry it out whole. It takes longer than fiberglass or steel, and we account for that in the quote.
