What We Run Into in Eastpointe Bathrooms
1940s-50s brick bungalows. Eastpointe's compact bungalows have small main-floor baths with original cast iron tubs, where a cutout or conversion frees up genuinely useful floor space.
That single fact drives most of what a job here costs. The age of the house determines whether the tub is cast iron or fiberglass, whether there's plaster or drywall behind the tile, and whether the bathroom is upstairs at the top of a narrow staircase. Knowing that before we arrive is why we can quote Eastpointe accurately over the phone instead of sending someone out to look.

Staying in the House
Eastpointe has a high share of homeowners who bought their house new and never left. We hear the same sentence constantly: nobody wants to move over a bathroom.
They shouldn't have to. A conversion or a walk-in tub costs a fraction of moving, and it addresses the actual problem — which is almost never the house, and almost always the fifteen inches of tub wall between you and getting clean.

Questions We Get From Eastpointe Homeowners
Can you handle a cast iron tub in Eastpointe?
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.
Is a walk-in tub or a walk-in shower better for me?
If soaking genuinely helps — arthritis, circulation, chronic pain — get the walk-in tub; the hydrotherapy is real. If you haven't taken an actual bath in years and just want to get clean safely, get the shower. It's roughly half the price and there's no waiting for it to fill or drain. We sell both and we have no reason to steer you wrong.
Do I need a permit for this in Eastpointe?
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 Eastpointe 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.
Will you have to tear out my whole bathroom?
No. We work inside the footprint your bathtub already occupies, so the floor, vanity and toilet stay exactly where they are. That's what keeps a conversion at a fraction of a full remodel and finishes it in a day instead of a week.
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.
How much does a tub to shower conversion cost in Eastpointe?
Conversions in Eastpointe start at $6,995 installed. Bathtub cutouts start at $1,550 and walk-in bathtubs at $12,995. 1940s-50s brick bungalows — and that's the main thing that moves the final number, because older tubs take longer to remove. You get a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
