Harper Woods is almost entirely post-war brick with consistent bathroom layouts, which makes it one of the more predictable and affordable cities in the metro area to convert.
1950s brick bungalows and ranches. When we price a job in Harper Woods, that's the first thing we ask about — not the finishes. A homeowner picking tile is choosing between options that differ by a few hundred dollars. Whether there's a cast iron tub sitting on a second floor is a difference of a full day's labor.

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 Harper Woods 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.

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.
