Bathtub Removal and Shower Conversion in South Lyon
South Lyon has several active-adult communities where walk-in tubs and zero-threshold showers are specified from the start, and where conversions are common in slightly older units.
The housing stock: older in-town homes plus 1990s+ subdivisions and 55+ communities. 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.

Finish Standards in South Lyon
Homeowners in South Lyon 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.

Get a Fixed Quote for Your South Lyon 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.

Frequently Asked — South Lyon, MI
How much does a tub to shower conversion cost in South Lyon?
Conversions in South Lyon start at $6,995 installed. Bathtub cutouts start at $1,550 and walk-in bathtubs at $12,995. Older in-town homes plus 1990s+ subdivisions and 55+ communities — 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.
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.
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.
What happens if you find something unexpected behind the wall?
In South Lyon'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.
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.
Is financing available for South Lyon 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.
