The homeowner’s primary goal was to eliminate the awkward and high‑walled tub and upgrade to a modern shower that blends style with daily usability. Smart Choice composite wall panels in a marble‑look design were selected, providing a seamless, non‑porous surface with matching trim and no grout lines. Brushed‑nickel hardware ties together the rain‑style overhead shower and a handheld sprayer on a slide bar, while a sliding glass door keeps water contained and visually opens the room. Safety features include an angled grab bar on the back wall and a fold‑down teak bench for optional seating. Two corner shelves and an additional mid‑height shelf organize toiletries without cluttering the space.
Ted McCann from Five Star Bath Solutions walked the customer through the Smart Choice system, emphasizing that the six‑layer composite panels are mold‑resistant, non‑porous, and simple to clean with dish soap and water. He explained that all installers are full‑time, background‑checked employees of the company’s 90‑location network, ensuring professional workmanship. Ted also described the slip‑resistant custom shower base with integrated drain channels and matching smooth trim for a finished, high‑end appearance.
After the project manager’s measurement visit, installation began with a complete removal of the old tub and tile, inspection for hidden damage, and replacement of plumbing with new PEX lines. Waterproof foam and concrete backer boards were installed before adhering the composite panels and custom base. The shower fixtures, bench, grab bar, shelves, and sliding door were then fitted. Installation typically takes about two days, and crews protect the home, remove debris, and leave the space clean upon completion.
Five Star Bath Solutions backs its work with a lifetime transferable warranty that covers both product and labor. Ted assured the customer that there are no change orders or surprise fees; any issues discovered behind the walls would be addressed at no additional charge. The proposal included promotions such as 77 % off installation labor, a $750 rebate for submitting an online review, and 12‑month no‑interest financing through 360 Financial. These discounts, along with flexible payment options, were designed to make the investment more manageable while delivering a long‑lasting solution.
