Centro Smart Choice wall panels with a polished stone aesthetic were installed in place of the tiled surround. The enclosure was framed in to accommodate the new composite panels, with a slight recess around the ceiling maintained for structure. Two corner shelves were added for product storage. A frameless sliding glass door system with top-mounted tracks replaced the prior shower curtain rod setup, creating a sleeker appearance. A detachable handheld showerhead was added with fixed positioning, though the originally discussed slide bar was not included. No bench was added due to spatial constraints and absence of available tile.
Carlson Reissiger, the Five Star Bath Solutions representative, recommended the Centro Smart Choice system for its stone-like surface and ease of maintenance. He explained how the panel system is created from scanned real stone and bonded to a durable composite layer. The solution includes a non-slip, concrete-like pan and an antimicrobial backer board double the thickness of typical industry materials, providing lasting resistance against mold and mildew. Brushed nickel fixtures were proposed to match the customer’s style while maintaining functionality.
Installation required full demolition of the previous tub, including removal of old wall tile and floor protection. The customer’s request to reuse leftover tile was evaluated, but the final installation used all-new composite wall panels. The recessed window was preserved and integrated into the new wall layout. Delta fixtures, glass panels, and custom trim were installed as part of a two-day rebuild. Electrical or niche customization was not part of the final execution.
Five Star Bath Solutions provided a true lifetime warranty covering labor, materials, and product performance, transferable to future homeowners. Carlson discussed fixed pricing and potential savings if onsite inspection revealed usable tile, though this was not ultimately implemented. An active 77% off installation promotion and available senior discount added to overall value, with all work completed by licensed and insured professionals.
