Grosse Pointe Woods bathrooms are typically larger and better finished than the metro average, which opens up conversion options — full tile, glass, benches — that a tighter bathroom can't support.

1940s-60s colonials and brick ranches. The Grosse Pointes have larger, better-finished bathrooms than most of the region, and homeowners here tend to choose full walk-in showers with upgraded finishes rather than a basic conversion.
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 Grosse Pointe Woods accurately over the phone instead of sending someone out to look.

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 Woods — 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.
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.
