The Garden City Bathroom Problem
Garden City was platted with unusually generous lots and single-story homes, and its long-term residents make it one of the steadiest markets for walk-in tubs and step-through cutouts in western Wayne County.
Housing here is largely post-war ranches on wide lots, 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 Garden City 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.

One Bathroom, One Shot
A lot of Wayne County homes — particularly the bungalows and smaller post-war houses across Garden City — 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.
How a Garden City Install Works
Photo or phone quote
Most people never need an in-home visit. Send a wide shot of the bathroom and the alcove width.
Written fixed price
In writing, before anything is ordered. That number doesn't move unless you change the scope.
One day on site
Morning start, evening finish. You keep your bathroom the same night in most cases.
24 hours to cure
Silicone needs a day to fully set, so we say shower in it tomorrow morning.

Garden City — Common Questions
Can you make it wheelchair accessible?
Yes. We install fully barrier-free roll-in bases with zero threshold in 60″×30″, 60″×32″ and 60″×36″, plus L-shape transfer walk-in tubs that open the entire end of the tub for a seated transfer. Tell us the situation on the phone and we'll spec it properly rather than selling you a standard unit.
Is financing available for Garden City homeowners?
Yes, with approved credit. It's how most of our walk-in tub customers pay, and it turns a five-figure project into a monthly payment. Ask when you call and we'll walk you through it. See our financing page for the details.
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 charge for the quote?
No. Quotes are free, there's no obligation, and there's no three-hour in-home sales presentation — we're installers, not a sales operation. Email a photo of the bathroom and the alcove width and we can usually price it without visiting at all.
How long will the job take in my Garden City home?
Most conversions and cutouts in Garden City 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.
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.
