Dearborn homes tend to have small, well-built bathrooms with original tile — which means the goal is usually to remove the tub without wrecking everything around it.

1920s Ford-era brick homes in the east end, 1950s ranches west of Telegraph. Dearborn splits neatly in two for bathroom work: the older east-side homes near the Rouge plant have deep cast iron tubs and tight 5x7 baths, while the newer west-side ranches have standard alcoves that convert quickly.
Every neighborhood in Metro Detroit has its own version of this problem, and Dearborn is specific enough that a contractor who mostly works elsewhere will misprice it. We've been in these bathrooms for 18 years.
A lot of Wayne County homes — particularly the bungalows and smaller post-war houses across Dearborn — 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.
The fastest route to a price: email one wide photo of your bathroom plus the width of the tub alcove to bob@detroittubs.com. We can usually quote Dearborn the same day without coming out at all.

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.
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.
Someone needs to be home to let us in and to walk through the finished work with us, but you don't need to be present for the entire job.
