Replace a dated or leaking shower with a properly built one in Canton, MI. Canton is one of the newest communities in wayne county, built out largely from the 1990s through the 2000s in planned subdivisions, including Sunflower Village, Windsor Park, Central Park Estates and the Cherry Hill corridor. Canton primary baths already have a separate shower, so the work is replacing a dated fibreglass surround with tile and frameless glass.

Canton primary baths are usually generous — double vanity, separate tub and shower — so the work is upgrading dated builder-grade finishes rather than solving space.
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.
Canton shower costs sit in tile, glass and valve upgrades rather than in relocating any plumbing. 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.
Replacing a fibreglass surround with porcelain tile and frameless glass is the standard Canton upgrade. 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 Sunflower Village, Windsor Park, Central Park Estates and the Cherry Hill corridor 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. Canton Township inspections are routine, so glass lead time usually sets the finish date. 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. Canton costs are finish-led: the shower stays where it is and the spend goes into tile, glass and a better valve. We quote after inspecting, in writing, at no charge.
Usually yes, and in Canton 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. Canton Township permits through its municipal services building, and we handle the filing. Most conversions finish inside a week.
A properly waterproofed shower should last decades. Canton plumbing is modern and correctly vented, so a new shower here fails only if the waterproofing was done badly. 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. Canton owners often bundle a shower with other updates, and financing keeps the whole project on a single payment. We can give you the monthly figure during the free consultation.
