Taylor's housing is remarkably consistent: post-war ranches with a standard alcove tub in a 5x8 bathroom. That consistency is why we can quote most Taylor jobs accurately over the phone.

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 Taylor bathroom as though it were new construction, that's when the price changes halfway through. We price the house that's actually there.
Not sure whether you need a $1,550 cutout or a $6,995 conversion? That's the most common call we get. Describe the bathroom and we'll tell you honestly — including when the cheaper option is the right one.

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.
No. Quotes are free, whether by phone, by emailing a photo to bob@detroittubs.com, or in person. You get a fixed price in writing before anything is ordered.
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.
Permit requirements vary by municipality. Where Taylor requires a permit for this type of work, we handle pulling it as part of the job — it's included in your fixed price, not an add-on.
In Taylor, tub-to-shower conversions start at $6,995 installed, cutouts start at $1,550, and Ella's Bubbles walk-in tubs start at $12,995 installed. Your exact price depends on the alcove size, tub material and finish you choose, and we give you that number in writing before any work begins.
Call (586) 791-4800 for a fixed price — usually about five minutes on the phone.
