Alaina Dettling, Five Star Bath Solutions representative, guided the customer through available options, addressing functional upgrades and design enhancements. Rather than using traditional tile and grout, Alaina recommended six-layer composite wall panels that mimic natural stone and extend up to the ceiling for a seamless, modern finish. Matte black hardware was selected in place of the originally proposed brushed nickel. The design eliminated the previous bulky threshold and introduced a safer low-profile base with enhanced floor visibility. The hinged door noted in the original review was replaced by a framed bypass glass system with soft-slide rollers to optimize the narrow space without interfering with adjacent fixtures.
Installation followed a complete demolition protocol, exposing framing and subfloor to ensure proper sealing and mold inspection. A proprietary waterproof backer board and channeling system were used behind the walls, while corner seams and fixtures were sealed using multi-layer adhesives. The Delta valve and showerhead were reinstalled, with clear understanding that only the reused components would be excluded from warranty coverage. Visual renderings were provided during planning to confirm final selections. Installation was completed in under two days, with the bathroom protected throughout using drop cloths and tape barriers.
Five Star Bath Solutions provided a fully transferable lifetime warranty covering all new materials and labor. The reused plumbing components were excluded, as clarified during contract finalization. Customers avoided financing and paid directly, receiving discounts for overstock color selection, participation in a referral program, and same-day sign-up. All permits, inspections, and cleanup were handled by the team. The final cost was reduced from $19,187 to $14,475 after all applied offers.
