Hamtramck bathrooms are small even by pre-war standards. A conversion here isn't a luxury — it's usually the only way to make the room work.

Hamtramck's tightly packed pre-war homes have some of the smallest bathrooms in the metro area, frequently under 5x6, where removing the tub is the only meaningful way to gain room.
The housing stock: dense 1910s-1920s workers' housing and two-family flats. That matters because the tub in a 1930s home and the tub in a 1990s home are different objects requiring different tools. One gets cut into pieces where it sits. The other lifts out in one go. Same finished result, very different day.

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.
Practical detail people don't think about until the day: we need to get a tub out and a shower base in. In tighter Hamtramck 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.

No. Every wall finish we install — printed acrylic, CNC-engraved acrylic, solid acrylic or tongue-and-groove vinyl tile — is grout-free, so there's nothing to scrub and nowhere for mildew to grow.
Yes. We install fully barrier-free, zero-threshold shower bases and L-shape wheelchair-transfer walk-in tubs, and can fit grab bars into solid blocking behind the wall on any job.
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.
A cutout (from $1,550) leaves your existing tub in place and cuts a low step-through opening into its wall — done in a few hours. A full conversion (from $6,995) removes the tub entirely and replaces it with a walk-in shower, base and waterproof walls — done in about a day. Cutouts are the lower-cost fix; conversions are the more complete, longer-term one.
