Customer, Jerry, requested their tub be replaced with a deeper soaker tub and a full wet area remodel to resolve chronic leaking issues from their tiled surround. The primary goal was to modernize the space with low-maintenance finishes while preserving the bathroom’s compact footprint. The final configuration included a soaker tub installation, wall panels extended to the ceiling in a stone-look finish, matte black fixtures, and a matching wall-mounted sink and faucet combination.

Stacy Drake explained Five Star Bath Solutions' composite wall systems, detailing the six-layer PVC-based material with a scratch-resistant top coat that resists mold, mildew, and staining. She emphasized their use of a 100% waterproof backer board, superior to the green board found in traditional DIY setups, and pointed out their unique metal bracket shelf system for improved structural integrity. Stacy discussed the difference between acrylic, fiberglass, and composite options, noting that their composite system often costs less than modern acrylics while delivering a higher-end finish. She also introduced their preferred Jetta brand soaker tub, which is foam-backed for a solid, non-flexing installation.
The installation involved full demolition of the old wet area, including removal of the cast-iron blue tub, surrounding tile, wall-mounted sink, and old plumbing. The new soaker tub was installed with updated waterproof wall panels in a Calacatta-style marble pattern. Plumbing was upgraded, and new insulation was added as needed. Final installation included matte black fixtures, corner shelf, grab bars, lighting, mirror, and a matching wall-mounted sink with integrated countertop and backsplash. Vinyl sheet flooring in a hexagon marble pattern was installed to replace the outdated tile.
Five Star Bath Solutions offers a lifetime, fully transferable warranty that covers labor, materials, plumbing, and accessories. Stacy emphasized that the company is a locally owned and operated franchise based in White Bear Lake, providing the personalized care of a small business backed by national buying power. The company’s strong reputation is reinforced by high local review ratings, a focus on detailed project planning, and an integrated network of referral partners for work outside their scope. The customer appreciated the ability to view samples on-site, the no-pressure consultation approach, and the flexibility to finalize choices throughout the design phase.
