The Job

A Steel Tub and Tile Wainscot Out, a White Walk-In Shower In

This Plymouth bathroom had a steel tub in green tile under a soffit, with more green tile wainscot around the room. The tub, the tub walls, the soffit, and all of the wainscot tile came out.

The new walk-in shower sits on a made-to-fit Pro Stone base with a 62-inch curb. Solid White Pro Stone walls in a gloss finish run 96 inches high, with a matching ceiling panel, a corner seat, a soap dish, and two corner shelves. A Delta Arvo 2-in-1 shower in chrome, chrome grab bars, and a 3/8-inch rain glass pivot door with an inline panel and chrome hardware finish it.

Where the wainscot tile came off, we hung new moisture-resistant drywall and taped and finished it. A new white 16 by 16-inch tile floor went down with a Solid White Pro Stone threshold. The cherry vanity, its top and faucet, the mirror, the wall cabinet, and the toilet all stayed.

Adam and Dave did the install, and Larry was the product specialist. This is one Home Pro USA project in Plymouth, on the Washtenaw County side. Nearby work is on our Ypsilanti and Canton pages.

Before

A Steel Tub, Green Tile, and a Mosaic Floor

The bathroom before the remodel: the steel tub with sliding doors and green tile, the green tile wainscot around the room, and the dark mosaic floor.

After

A Walk-In Shower, New Walls, and a White Floor

The finished room: a Solid White Pro Stone shower with a corner seat, grab bars, and a rain glass pivot door, smooth new walls where the wainscot was, and a white tile floor. The vanity, top, faucet, mirror, wall cabinet, and toilet stayed.

Project FAQs

Questions About This Remodel

Can you remove tile wainscot along with the tub?
Yes. In this bathroom the green tile wainscot came off every wall, not just around the tub. We hung new moisture-resistant drywall where it was, and taped and finished it.
How long does a tub-to-shower conversion like this take?
A tub-to-shower conversion by itself usually takes 2-4 working days. This job also removed tile wainscot around the room, added new drywall, and put in a new floor, which adds time. Your written quote lists the full scope before work starts.
What is a rain glass pivot door?
It is a 3/8-inch glass door with a textured rain pattern that lets light through while blurring the view. Here the door pivots open next to a fixed inline panel, with chrome hardware and a header across the top.
What is Pro Stone?
Pro Stone is our cultured marble for shower bases, walls, seats, shelves, and thresholds. It goes up in large panels with no grout lines. This shower uses Solid White in a gloss finish.
Can I keep my vanity?
Yes. This homeowner kept the cherry vanity, its top and faucet, the mirror, the wall cabinet, and the toilet, and we worked around them.
Do you work in Plymouth?
Yes. This Plymouth home is on the Washtenaw County side, near Ford Road. We have also remodeled bathrooms in nearby Ypsilanti and Canton. Home Pro USA crews remodel bathrooms across Metro Detroit from our Center Line showroom.
