Bathtub to Walk-In Shower Conversion — Redford, Michigan

Bathtub Removal and Shower Conversion in Redford
Redford Township's bungalows are compact and solidly built, and almost universally have a single upstairs or main-floor bath with an original cast iron tub — the exact scenario a tub cut or conversion solves.
The housing stock: late-1940s and 1950s brick bungalows. That matters because the tub in a 1930s home and the tub in a 1990s home are different objects requiring different tools. One gets cut into pieces where it sits. The other lifts out in one go. Same finished result, very different day.

One Bathroom, One Shot
A lot of Wayne County homes — particularly the bungalows and smaller post-war houses across Redford — 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 Redford 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.

Redford — Common Questions
Do I need a permit for this in Redford?
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 Redford 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.
What happens if you find something unexpected behind the wall?
In Redford'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.
How much does a tub to shower conversion cost in Redford?
Conversions in Redford start at $6,995 installed. Bathtub cutouts start at $1,550 and walk-in bathtubs at $12,995. Late-1940s and 1950s 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.
Do I have to be home while you work?
Someone should be there at the start so we can walk through it together, and at the end for the handover. In between you're welcome to go out. We cover the floors, we work clean, and we haul everything away — you shouldn't be able to tell we were anywhere except the bathroom.
Do you actually work in Redford, or just advertise there?
We work in Redford regularly — it's part of our core Wayne County service area and has been for 18 years. Same pricing as everywhere else, no travel surcharge. We also cover Livonia, Detroit, Farmington Hills, Garden City.
How soon can you get to my Redford 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.
