1950s-70s ranches. Fraser's ranch subdivisions have consistent layouts and standard alcoves, which keeps conversions here quick and priced at the lower end of the range.
People are often surprised that removal is the hard part rather than the installation. Anyone can glue up a wall panel. Getting a 350-pound cast iron tub out of a bathroom without wrecking the doorframe, the stair treads or the floor is the part that takes 18 years to learn.

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.
If you're in a condo or townhome near Fraser, the association likely has rules about what can be changed and shared plumbing walls that limit what's practical.
Staying inside the existing tub footprint avoids nearly all of that — we're not moving drains or opening shared walls. If your association wants documentation before approving work, tell us and we'll provide it.

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.
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.
In Fraser, tub-to-shower conversions start at $6,995 installed, cutouts start at $1,550, and Ella's Bubbles walk-in tubs start at $12,995 installed. Your exact price depends on the alcove size, tub material and finish you choose, and we give you that number in writing before any work begins.

Permit requirements vary by municipality. Where Fraser requires a permit for this type of work, we handle pulling it as part of the job — it's included in your fixed price, not an add-on.
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.
