Walk-in shower conversion, Lake Orion, MI

Lake cottages plus 1990s-2010s subdivisions. Lake Orion's converted cottages have irregular bathroom dimensions, while the surrounding township subdivisions have standard master-bath garden tubs ready to convert.

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.

Three Options for Lake Orion Homeowners

Tub to Shower Conversion

From $6,995

installed · financing available

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.

Resale in Oakland County

It's a fair question in Lake Orion, where housing values make people think carefully about what they change: does removing a tub hurt resale?

Our honest read — if it's the only tub in the house and the likely buyer has small children, keep one somewhere. If you have a second full bath, or the buyer pool skews toward downsizers, a large walk-in shower is the more wanted fixture in today's market. We'll tell you which one your house is.

If you're comparing quotes, ask the other companies two things: is the price fixed, and how many days will you be without a bathroom? Those two answers separate a conversion specialist from a general remodeler who also does bathrooms.

Common Questions

Is a walk-in tub or a walk-in shower better for me?

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.

Do I have to be home while you work?

Someone needs to be home to let us in and to walk through the finished work with us, but you don't need to be present for the entire job.

How much does a tub to shower conversion cost in Lake Orion?

In Lake Orion, 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.

Can you make it wheelchair accessible?

Yes. We install fully barrier-free, zero-threshold shower bases and L-shape wheelchair-transfer walk-in tubs, and can fit grab bars into solid blocking behind the wall on any job.

What's the difference between a cutout and a full conversion?

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.

How soon can you get to my Lake Orion house?

Most Lake Orion jobs are quoted the same day by phone or photo, and installs typically finish in a single day once scheduled. Call (586) 791-4800 for current availability.
