The Clawson Bathroom Problem
Clawson's compact homes have small baths where a walk-in shower meaningfully increases usable floor space compared to the original tub footprint.
Housing here is largely 1940s-50s bungalows and small ranches, 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 Clawson 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.

Finish Standards in Clawson
Homeowners in Clawson generally aren't looking for the cheapest possible fix, and we don't push one. The wall finish, the glass, whether there's a bench and a recessed niche — those choices are the difference between a bathroom that looks renovated and one that looks repaired.
We'll show you the range and tell you honestly where spending more actually shows and where it doesn't.
How a Clawson Install Works

Alcove width, doorway clearance, tub material. Ten minutes, and it's what makes the quote accurate.
You pick the finish
Wall panel or tile, bench or no bench, glass or curtain. Fixed price either way.
Install day

Get a Fixed Quote for Your Clawson Bathroom
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.

Clawson — Common Questions
What about grout — will I have to scrub it?
No. Everything we install is grout-free: acrylic wall panels or tongue-and-groove tile that locks together with no grout lines at all. There's nothing for mildew to get into. It's the feature people mention most a year later.
What if my bathroom is really small?
Small bathrooms are most of what we work in. That's usually an argument for a conversion rather than against one — a tub occupies about 13 square feet of a room that might only have 40, and a shower in that same footprint makes the space genuinely bigger to move around in. For very tight rooms, a cutout is often the smarter call.
How long will the job take in my Clawson home?
Most conversions and cutouts in Clawson are a single day. We arrive in the morning, the old tub comes out, the new base and walls go in, and we clean up and leave that evening. Walk-in tub installs occasionally run into a second day when electrical work is needed for jets or a heated seat — and we tell you that when we quote, not on the day.
What's the difference between a cutout and a full conversion?
A cutout ($1,550) keeps your existing tub and cuts a low step-through opening in the side of it, finished with a molded insert. A full conversion ($6,995) removes the tub entirely and replaces it with a walk-in shower. The cutout is faster and much cheaper; the conversion gives you a proper shower and more usable floor space. We'll tell you which one your situation actually calls for.
Do I need a permit for this in Clawson?
For a straight like-for-like conversion inside the existing footprint, usually not — we're not moving drains or altering structure. Requirements vary by municipality, and if Clawson does require one for your specific job we'll tell you and handle it. We don't work without the permits that are actually required.
Can you handle a cast iron tub in Clawson?
Yes, and around here it's routine. We cut cast iron down in place rather than trying to carry it out whole — that's the part that damages doorframes, stair treads and floors when it's done by someone who hasn't done it before.
