Riverview's subdivisions were built from a handful of floor plans, so we've usually already done a bathroom identical to yours.

Riverview's ranch subdivisions have consistent floor plans and standard alcoves, making it one of the more straightforward Downriver cities for a same-day conversion.
Housing here is largely 1960s-70s ranches and split-levels, and that shapes everything about a conversion: how the tub comes out, what's behind the wall, and how long we're in your house. We've done enough Riverview bathrooms to know what we're walking into, which is why we quote a fixed price instead of an hourly rate that grows once the wall is open.

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.
Wayne County has the oldest housing stock we work in, and older homes hold surprises: galvanized supply lines that should be replaced while the wall is open, plaster that doesn't take a screw the way drywall does, and tile set directly into mortar beds rather than backer board.
None of that is a problem — it's just work that has to be anticipated. When a contractor quotes a Riverview bathroom as though it were new construction, that's when the price changes halfway through. We price the house that's actually there.
We measure
Alcove width, doorway clearance, tub material. Ten minutes, and it's what makes the quote accurate.
Wall panel or tile, bench or no bench, glass or curtain. Fixed price either way.
Floors covered before anything moves. Tub out, base in, walls up, fixtures on.
We run the water with you, show you everything, and answer questions before we leave.
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 Riverview the same day without coming out at all.

Yes. We've been doing tub-to-shower conversions, cutouts and walk-in tub installs across Wayne County — including Riverview — for 18 years. We quote Riverview jobs by phone or photo, usually without an in-home visit.
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.
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.
Yes — cast iron is common in older Metro Detroit homes and we cut it down in place rather than trying to carry it out whole. It takes longer than fiberglass or steel, and we account for that in the quote.
Most Riverview 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.
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.
