Replace a dated or leaking shower with a properly built one in Taylor, MI. Taylor is a downriver community of modest 1950s and 60s ranches and bungalows built for auto-industry families, including the Telegraph corridor, Heritage Park and the Goddard Road neighbourhoods. A tub-to-shower conversion is the most requested job we do in Taylor, and in most of these houses it fits inside the existing footprint.

Taylor budgets tend to be practical, and a well-executed tub-to-shower conversion usually delivers more than a full gut.
Most shower failures are waterproofing failures. City water is treated and consistent here, so scaling is less of a factor than in the outlying counties. We build the pan and membrane to spec before a single tile goes on, because that layer is what determines whether the job lasts.
In Detroit and Dearborn that usually means cast iron waste stacks and galvanized supply that has narrowed with corrosion. Pulling a steel alcove tub and rebuilding the space as a walk-in shower is precise work — the drain moves, the framing changes, and the surrounding floor has to be made good.
Taylor conversions are among the most affordable we quote, because the drain rarely needs to move far. You see the cost of pan, waterproofing, tile, glass and labour as separate lines. Financing is available on approved credit if you would rather spread the cost.
Durable porcelain tile and a quality thermostatic valve matter more in Taylor homes than decorative detail. Grout lines stay straight, slopes drain properly, and niches land where you actually reach for them. Shower tile is unforgiving and it is most of what people notice afterwards.
We work the Telegraph corridor, Heritage Park and the Goddard Road neighbourhoods regularly. Frameless panels, thermostatic valves and rain heads all change the plumbing behind the wall. We size the valve to your supply rather than to a catalogue photo.
Relocating a shower drain is permit work. Taylor permits are quick, and most conversions here are complete in about a week. We file with the right municipality for your address and meet the inspector on site.
A tub-to-shower conversion sits well below a full bathroom remodel, but the range depends on whether the drain moves and what condition the subfloor is in once the old unit comes out. A conversion is usually the lowest-cost way to make an old Taylor bathroom usable again, well short of a full remodel. We quote after inspecting, in writing, at no charge.
Usually yes, and in Taylor it is the most common request we get. The tub comes out, the drain is relocated and reset, the alcove is reframed and waterproofed, and the floor is tied back in. Taylor permits through its own building department, and we handle the filing. Most conversions finish inside a week.
A properly waterproofed shower should last decades. A well-built pan in a Taylor ranch will outlast the fixtures around it, and we specify the membrane to that standard. The ones that fail early almost always failed at the pan or the membrane, not at the tile, which is why we do not rush that stage.
Yes. Financing is available on approved credit, which matters when a shower fails unexpectedly. Financing matters in Taylor when a failing shower has to be replaced before anyone had budgeted for it. We can give you the monthly figure during the free consultation.
