Walk-in shower conversion, Auburn Hills, MI

1990s-2010s subdivisions and townhomes. Auburn Hills' newer townhomes and condos often restrict structural changes, so conversions here are frequently designed to fit the existing alcove footprint exactly.

Every neighborhood in Metro Detroit has its own version of this problem, and Auburn Hills is specific enough that a contractor who mostly works elsewhere will misprice it. We've been in these bathrooms for 18 years.

Three Options for Auburn Hills Homeowners

Tub to Shower Conversion

From $6,995

installed · financing available

Remove the old bathtub entirely and replace it with a low-threshold walk-in shower — new base, new waterproof walls, new fixtures.

Keep your existing tub. We cut a low step-through opening in the wall of it and finish the edges with a molded insert.

A full Ella's Bubbles walk-in bathtub with a sealing door, molded seat, grab bars and optional hydrotherapy jets.

Starting prices, installed. Your fixed quote depends on alcove size, existing tub material and the finishes you choose. Financing available with approved credit.

Finish Standards in Auburn Hills

Homeowners in Auburn Hills 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.

Common Questions

Is a walk-in tub or a walk-in shower better for me?

It depends on whether you still want to soak. A walk-in tub (from $12,995) makes sense if the hydro or air massage genuinely helps with arthritis, circulation or chronic pain. A walk-in shower conversion (from $6,995) is the better practical choice if you haven't taken an actual bath in years and just want to get in and out safely.

Do you charge for the quote?

No. Quotes are free, whether by phone, by emailing a photo to bob@detroittubs.com, or in person. You get a fixed price in writing before anything is ordered.

Will you have to tear out my whole bathroom?

No. We work inside the existing tub footprint — the floor, vanity, toilet and rest of the room stay exactly as they are. Only the tub and the wall around it are opened up.

What if my bathroom is really small?

Small bathrooms are common in older Metro Detroit housing stock, and we carry custom-size shower bases for alcoves that aren't a standard 60 inches. Send a photo and the alcove width and we'll tell you what fits.
