Bathtub Removal and Shower Conversion in Waterford
Waterford's lake-area homes include many converted cottages with non-standard bathroom dimensions, so custom-fit conversions are the norm rather than the exception here.
The housing stock: converted lake cottages plus 1970s-90s ranches. 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 Waterford
Homeowners in Waterford 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.
How a Waterford 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.

Waterford: What People Ask Before They Book
Is financing available for Waterford 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.
How much does a tub to shower conversion cost in Waterford?
Conversions in Waterford start at $6,995 installed. Bathtub cutouts start at $1,550 and walk-in bathtubs at $12,995. Converted lake cottages plus 1970s-90s 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.
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.
What if my bathroom is really small?
Small bathrooms are most of what we work in. That's usually an argument for a conversion rather than against one — a tub occupies about 13 square feet of a room that might only have 40, and a shower in that same footprint makes the space genuinely bigger to move around in. For very tight rooms, a cutout is often the smarter call.
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 Waterford, or just advertise there?
We work in Waterford 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 Pontiac, White Lake, Clarkston & Independence Twp, Commerce Township.
