Getting a Tub Out of a Farmington Home
Historic downtown homes plus 1950s-70s ranches. The City of Farmington's older core has small original bathrooms, while the surrounding ranches have standard alcoves — a straightforward mix to work with.
People are often surprised that removal is the hard part rather than the installation. Anyone can glue up a wall panel. Getting a 350-pound cast iron tub out of a bathroom without wrecking the doorframe, the stair treads or the floor is the part that takes 18 years to learn.

Oakland County Master Baths
A large share of Farmington homes have both a tub and a separate shower in the master bathroom. If you're in one of those, you already know the tub hasn't been filled in years — it's holding towels, or nothing at all.
That's the easiest conversion we do and the highest-value one. The footprint, the drain and the water supply are already there. Converting it gives you one large, genuinely usable shower instead of two compromised fixtures.

Frequently Asked — Farmington, MI
How soon can you get to my Farmington house?
Quotes are usually same-day by phone, or from a photo you email us. Installation scheduling depends on the season — spring and early summer are our busiest — but we're typically booking a couple of weeks out for conversions and cutouts. Walk-in tubs take a little longer because the tub is ordered to fit your specific alcove.
How much does a tub to shower conversion cost in Farmington?
Conversions in Farmington start at $6,995 installed. Bathtub cutouts start at $1,550 and walk-in bathtubs at $12,995. Historic downtown homes plus 1950s-70s ranches — 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.
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 you actually work in Farmington, or just advertise there?
We work in Farmington regularly — it's part of our core Oakland County service area and has been for 18 years. Same pricing as everywhere else, no travel surcharge. We also cover Farmington Hills, Livonia, Southfield, Novi.
What happens if you find something unexpected behind the wall?
In Farmington's older homes it happens — rotted subfloor, a previous repair done badly, galvanized pipe that shouldn't go back into service. We stop and talk to you before we spend any of your money. You'll get the options and the costs, and you decide. What we don't do is keep working and hand you a bigger invoice at the end.
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.
