Flat Rock's older river-adjacent homes rarely have a textbook 60-inch alcove, so measuring first isn't optional here.

Mixed older homes and 1990s+ subdivisions. Flat Rock's older homes near the Huron River often have non-standard bathroom dimensions that need a measured, custom-fit conversion rather than a stock kit.
Every neighborhood in Metro Detroit has its own version of this problem, and Flat Rock is specific enough that a contractor who mostly works elsewhere will misprice it. We've been in these bathrooms for 18 years.

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.
A lot of Wayne County homes — particularly the bungalows and smaller post-war houses across Flat Rock — have exactly one full bathroom. There's no second bath to use while the work happens.
That's the single biggest reason we work to a one-day schedule. A week-long remodel in a one-bathroom house isn't an inconvenience, it's a genuine problem for the people living there.
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.
Two ways to get priced: email a photo to bob@detroittubs.com, or fill in the form and we'll call you back within one business day. There's no in-home sales presentation either way — we're installers.

A cutout (from $1,550) leaves your existing tub in place and cuts a low step-through opening into its wall — done in a few hours. A full conversion (from $6,995) removes the tub entirely and replaces it with a walk-in shower, base and waterproof walls — done in about a day. Cutouts are the lower-cost fix; conversions are the more complete, longer-term one.
No. We work inside the existing tub footprint — the floor, vanity, toilet and rest of the room stay exactly as they are. Only the tub and the wall around it are opened up.
