The finished walk-in shower features full-height composite wall panels in a soft marble design with natural veining. The matte black barn-style sliding glass doors with exposed rail hardware replaced the original curtain setup. Interior components include a black Delta Intuition shower system with square overhead spray and handheld wand, a recessed niche for bath essentials, and a horizontal ADA-compliant grab bar across the back wall. The color palette and surface finishes remained consistent with the existing aesthetic.
Shelby Ball of Five Star Bath Solutions presented the Smart Choice composite system as an alternative to natural stone or tile. The product offered a grout-free, low-maintenance finish with antimicrobial protection, installed over ShowerShield non-organic backing to prevent mold. Shelby addressed durability concerns, noting the composite panels are impact- and stain-resistant and do not fade or discolor. The selection process included side-by-side comparisons and glass door customizations.
Installation began with a full demo of the fiberglass enclosure and plumbing upgrades. Wall studs and subfloor framing were reinforced, and a new waterproof composite shower base was installed, custom fit to the original footprint. All accessories, including grab bars and niche, were secured with structural backing. Marine-grade silicone was applied at all seams for long-term water resistance.
The two-day install was performed by in-house, certified Five Star crews with no subcontracting involved. Protective coverings were used in adjacent areas, and the jobsite was left clean and ready for use. A pre-install critical measure ensured exact fit of each component and final placement of accessories before the order was released.
Five Star Bath Solutions backed the project with a one-page, lifetime warranty covering all product, parts, and labor. The company’s four guarantees—Best Value, Certified Craftsman, No Surprise, and Property Protection—were outlined during the consultation. Shelby extended a limited-time promotional discount that reduced the composite shower price from $17,250 to $15,698. The customer moved forward at signing based on the offer, company reputation, and local representative support.
