The Woodhaven Bathroom Problem
Woodhaven's newer Downriver housing generally has fiberglass or acrylic tub-shower units, which come out quickly and keep conversion costs at the lower end of the range.
Housing here is largely 1970s-90s ranches and colonials, 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 Woodhaven 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.

Working in Older Wayne County Homes
Wayne County has the oldest housing stock we work in, and older homes hold surprises: galvanized supply lines that should be replaced while the wall is open, plaster that doesn't take a screw the way drywall does, and tile set directly into mortar beds rather than backer board.
None of that is a problem — it's just work that has to be anticipated. When a contractor quotes a Woodhaven bathroom as though it were new construction, that's when the price changes halfway through. We price the house that's actually there.

Frequently Asked — Woodhaven, MI
Do I need a permit for this in Woodhaven?
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 Woodhaven 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.
How long will the job take in my Woodhaven home?
Most conversions and cutouts in Woodhaven 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.
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 Woodhaven'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 Woodhaven?
Conversions in Woodhaven start at $6,995 installed. Bathtub cutouts start at $1,550 and walk-in bathtubs at $12,995. 1970s-90s ranches and colonials — 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.
