Most Westland homes have one full bathroom, on one floor, with one tub. When that tub becomes hard to step into, there's no backup — which is exactly why conversions here tend to be urgent rather than cosmetic.

Westland has a high concentration of single-story ranches and a large population of long-time residents aging in place, which makes step-in access the single most requested bathroom change in the city.
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 Westland 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.
A lot of Wayne County homes — particularly the bungalows and smaller post-war houses across Westland — 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.
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 Westland the same day without coming out at all.

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.
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.
Yes. We've been doing tub-to-shower conversions, cutouts and walk-in tub installs across Wayne County — including Westland — for 18 years. We quote Westland jobs by phone or photo, usually without an in-home visit.
Most Westland 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. 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.
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.
Call (586) 791-4800 for a fixed price — usually about five minutes on the phone.
