Customer, Kelsey, requested an overhaul of a dated bathroom to improve safety and style while retaining a bathtub for soaking, prioritizing easier maintenance, neutral colors, and a practical layout with corner shelving and a shower curtain rather than glass doors.

The homeowner originally considered removing the tub but ultimately chose a new, modern rectangular model with a lower apron that still allows for comfortable bathing. Smart Choice composite wall panels in a soft, stone‑look gray were installed around the tub and to the ceiling, paired with matching trim for a seamless finish. A curved shower rod opens up elbow room, and the shower features both a rain‑style showerhead and a handheld sprayer on a glide bar for flexible use. Two corner shelves provide storage without cluttering the space, and no seat was added per the customer’s request. The upgrade also introduced a compact vanity and new faucet, along with wood‑look waterproof flooring for warmth and durability.
Ted McCann of Five Star Bath Solutions explained that the six‑layer Smart Choice composite panels replicate natural stone without grout, are non‑porous and mold‑resistant, and can be cleaned easily with dish soap and water. He noted that all installers are full‑time, background‑checked employees, and that the franchise is part of a larger network with more than 90 locations in the U.S. and Canada. This focus on bathrooms ensures that projects are handled efficiently and with a high degree of expertise.
Installation involved a full tear‑out down to the studs, replacement of plumbing and diverters, and installation of waterproof foam and concrete backer boards. The new tub and wall panels were then set in place, followed by the curved rod, showerheads, and corner shelves. A project manager will perform final measurements before installation, and the work can typically be completed in about two days once scheduled.
Five Star Bath Solutions backs its materials and labor with a lifetime warranty registered to the home, ensuring future homeowners are covered. Ted emphasized that there are no hidden fees or change orders, even if unforeseen issues are discovered during demolition. Promotions included 77 % off installation labor and a $750 rebate for providing a review. The company offers flexible payment options, including financing and American‑made materials manufactured and stored locally for quick delivery.
