A second-floor bathroom with a deep cast iron tub is the classic Grosse Pointe Park situation, and it's the exact case a step-through cutout was invented for.

1910s-1930s brick homes, many with second-floor baths. Park homes commonly have the only full bath on the second floor with a deep cast iron tub — a combination that makes a step-through cutout a popular middle option when a full conversion isn't wanted yet.
Every neighborhood in Metro Detroit has its own version of this problem, and Grosse Pointe Park 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 Grosse Pointe Park — 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.

Most people never need an in-home visit. Send a wide shot of the bathroom and the alcove width.
In writing, before anything is ordered. That number doesn't move unless you change the scope.
Morning start, evening finish. You keep your bathroom the same night in most cases.
Silicone needs a day to fully set, so we say shower in it tomorrow morning.
Call (586) 791-4800 and describe the bathroom — how old the house is, whether the tub thuds like cast iron when you tap it, and roughly how wide the alcove is. That's normally enough for a real number in about five minutes.

It depends on whether you still want to soak. A walk-in tub (from $12,995) makes sense if the hydro or air massage genuinely helps with arthritis, circulation or chronic pain. A walk-in shower conversion (from $6,995) is the better practical choice if you haven't taken an actual bath in years and just want to get in and out safely.
