Oak Park bathrooms are original, tiled, and generally in good condition. The tub is the only thing that needs to change, and it can change alone.

Oak Park's compact post-war homes have single main-floor baths with tiled alcoves, where a clean tub removal that preserves surrounding tile is the core of the job.
Housing here is largely 1950s brick ranches and bungalows, and that shapes everything about a conversion: how the tub comes out, what's behind the wall, and how long we're in your house. We've done enough Oak Park bathrooms to know what we're walking into, which is why we quote a fixed price instead of an hourly rate that grows once the wall is open.
From $6,995

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.
It's a fair question in Oak Park, 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.

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.
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.

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.
Most Oak Park 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.
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.
No. Every wall finish we install — printed acrylic, CNC-engraved acrylic, solid acrylic or tongue-and-groove vinyl tile — is grout-free, so there's nothing to scrub and nowhere for mildew to grow.
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.
