Westland, MI Bathtub Removal & Shower Conversion
Most Westland homes have one full bathroom, on one floor, with one tub. When that tub becomes hard to step into, there's no backup — which is exactly why conversions here tend to be urgent rather than cosmetic.
- Conversions from $6,995 · cutouts from $1,550
- Walk-in bathtubs from $12,995 installed

The Westland Bathroom Problem
Westland has a high concentration of single-story ranches and a large population of long-time residents aging in place, which makes step-in access the single most requested bathroom change in the city.
Housing here is largely 1960s-70s ranches and split-levels, 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 Westland 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 Westland — 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 Westland Install Works
We measure
Alcove width, doorway clearance, tub material. Ten minutes, and it's what makes the quote accurate.
You pick the finish
Wall panel or tile, bench or no bench, glass or curtain. Fixed price either way.
Install day
Floors covered before anything moves. Tub out, base in, walls up, fixtures on.
Walkthrough
We run the water with you, show you everything, and answer questions before we leave.

Westland — Common Questions
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.
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 Westland, or just advertise there?
We work in Westland 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, Garden City, Canton, Wayne.
How soon can you get to my Westland 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.
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.
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.
