Farms homes frequently have original 1920s and 30s bathrooms with hex tile floors and cast iron tubs set into plaster — beautiful, and genuinely difficult to step into after a certain age.
1920s-40s brick colonials and Tudors. When we price a job in Grosse Pointe Farms, that's the first thing we ask about — not the finishes.

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.
Practical detail people don't think about until the day: we need to get a tub out and a shower base in. In tighter Grosse Pointe Farms streets and older homes with narrow doorways and turns at the top of the stairs, that's a real consideration.
We cut cast iron down in place rather than carrying it out whole, which solves most of it. But it's worth mentioning your layout when you call — a second-floor bathroom at the end of a tight hallway is a different quote than a main-floor one.
