Tub to Shower Conversion in Metro Detroit

The old tub comes out. A low-threshold walk-in shower goes in. Your floor, vanity and toilet stay put — and in most homes we're done the same day.

What You Actually Get

A conversion is not a remodel. We work inside the footprint your bathtub already occupies, which is why it costs a fraction of a full bathroom renovation and takes a day instead of a week.

Complete removal and disposal of the old tub — including cast iron, which we cut down in place rather than trying to carry out whole.

A new shower base — low-threshold or fully barrier-free, sized to your alcove.

Waterproof, grout-free walls — acrylic panels or tongue-and-groove tile, trimmed on site for an exact fit.

New valve, showerhead and handheld on a slide bar, usable seated or standing.

Grab bars anchored into solid blocking behind the wall — not toggle bolts in hollow drywall.

Optional bench, recessed niche, corner shelves and glass door.

Full cleanup and haul-away. You should not be able to tell we were in the rest of the house.

WALL FINISHES — Grout-Free Wall Options

Every finish we install is grout-free. Nothing to scrub, nothing for mildew to grow in.

Marble & Stone Printed Acrylic — High-gloss printed acrylic in Calacatta Gold, Carrara and other stone patterns. Three-piece kit: one 60" × 98" back panel and two 40" × 98" side panels, trimmed on site for an exact fit. Grout-free. Most popular finish. Looks like stone, cleans like acrylic.

CNC Engraved Pattern Acrylic — Geometric patterns machined into the acrylic surface (Urban Maze and others). Three-piece 40" × 60" × 98" surround with real surface texture rather than a print. For a contemporary bathroom where a flat panel would look plain.

Solid White Glossy Acrylic — Clean solid white, high gloss. Three-piece kit, bonds directly to drywall or straight over existing tile. Panels trim to fit. The straightforward choice, and the fastest to install.

Tongue & Groove Grout-Free Tile — Premium vinyl tile with a matte finish that locks together tongue-and-groove with no grout lines anywhere. Fits walk-in tub surrounds, shower bases and tub-shower combinations. Tile appearance with nothing to scrub. Nothing for mildew to grow in.

Shower Bases

The base determines how low the step-in is, which is the whole reason most people call us. A standard bathtub wall is 15 to 17 inches. These are a fraction of that — or nothing at all.

How the Day Goes

Is a Conversion Right for You?

A conversion makes sense if:

Stepping over the tub wall has become the hard part of your day

You haven't taken an actual bath in years

You have a second tub elsewhere in the house, or don't need one

You want the bathroom to work for the next twenty years, not just now

Common Questions

How much is a tub to shower conversion?

Call (586) 791-4800 and describe your Metro Detroit bathroom — most questions like this are easiest to answer with a quick phone call, and we'll give you a straight answer along with a fixed price.

Will I lose value on my house by removing the only bathtub?

Not meaningfully, and often the opposite. Most homes in Metro Detroit have a second tub elsewhere, and a genuinely usable, safe shower tends to matter more to buyers than a bathtub that hasn't been used in years. If you do want to keep tub functionality, a cutout with a removable insert panel is worth asking about.

Do you have to break the tile around the tub?

Only as much as necessary to remove the tub and set the new base and wall panels — we don't demo tile outside that footprint, and our wall panels can bond directly over existing tile in many cases.

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 about grout — do I have to scrub it?

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.

How long will I be without my bathroom?

For a full conversion, typically one day — you can usually use the new shower again by the next morning once the silicone has cured. Cutouts are often finished in a few hours.
