Downtown Milford and Milford Township are effectively two different markets for bathroom work, separated by about eighty years of construction.

Historic downtown homes plus rural subdivisions. Milford's in-town historic homes often have original clawfoot tubs, while the surrounding township has newer construction with standard alcoves — two very different conversions.
People are often surprised that removal is the hard part rather than the installation. Anyone can glue up a wall panel. Getting a 350-pound cast iron tub out of a bathroom without wrecking the doorframe, the stair treads or the floor is the part that takes 18 years to learn.
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.
A large share of Milford homes have both a tub and a separate shower in the master bathroom. If you're in one of those, you already know the tub hasn't been filled in years — it's holding towels, or nothing at all.
That's the easiest conversion we do and the highest-value one. The footprint, the drain and the water supply are already there. Converting it gives you one large, genuinely usable shower instead of two compromised fixtures.

Most people never need an in-home visit. Send a wide shot of the bathroom and the alcove width.
In writing, before anything is ordered. That number doesn't move unless you change the scope.
Morning start, evening finish. You keep your bathroom the same night in most cases.
Silicone needs a day to fully set, so we say shower in it tomorrow morning.

Yes, financing is available with approved credit for Milford homeowners, across all three services — cutouts, full conversions and walk-in tubs.
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.
Most Milford jobs are quoted the same day by phone or photo, and installs typically finish in a single day once scheduled. Call (586) 791-4800 for current availability.
