1940s-60s bungalows and ranches. The City of Wayne has a compact, older housing stock with small bathrooms where removing the tub is often the only realistic way to gain usable space.
Every neighborhood in Metro Detroit has its own version of this problem, and Wayne 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 Wayne — 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.
