Trenton has a lot of homeowners who've been in the same ranch since the plant days. Nobody wants to move over a bathtub, and they don't have to.

Trenton's riverfront neighborhoods have a high share of original owners in single-story homes — the demographic where walk-in tubs and step-through cutouts get the most use.
The housing stock: 1950s-70s ranches and colonials. 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.
A lot of Wayne County homes — particularly the bungalows and smaller post-war houses across Trenton — have exactly one full bathroom. There's no second bath to use while the work happens.
That's the single biggest reason we work to a one-day schedule. A week-long remodel in a one-bathroom house isn't an inconvenience, it's a genuine problem for the people living there.

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 — 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.
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.
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.
Call (586) 791-4800 for a fixed price — usually about five minutes on the phone.
