Solid surface wall panels in a white and gray marble finish replaced the old tiled shower surround. Panels were installed floor to ceiling, wrapping the full enclosure and entry wall to ensure complete moisture protection. Two corner shelves and one mid-wall safety grab bar were added, all in color-matched materials. A third horizontal bar, dual towel bars, and black framed sliding glass doors were included, creating a bold contrast against the walls. The original built-in cubby requested during planning was not installed, and no bench was added due to space constraints.
Representative Cal Reissiger recommended Five Star Bath Solutions’ Smart Choice solid-surface system for its durability and ease of maintenance. He emphasized the benefits of grout-free, non-porous wall panels with a seamless design that eliminates the mildew and cracking issues associated with tile. Cal presented fixture finish options including matte black, brushed nickel, and antique black, ultimately coordinating the project with matte black finishes across fixtures and glass door framing.
Installation involved complete demolition of the old enclosure, removal of tile and grout, and evaluation of any hidden moisture damage. Custom composite panels were installed across all walls and up to the ceiling, supported by double-thickness waterproof backer board. The updated layout did not include a bench or built-in storage cubby as originally discussed. New matte black Delta plumbing fixtures were installed, including a fixed handheld showerhead and minimalist trim components.
Five Star Bath Solutions provided a lifetime transferable warranty covering labor, material, fixtures, and accessories. Cal emphasized that the solid panel system does not require ongoing sealing or maintenance and will remain protected under the warranty for as long as the customer owns the home, with full coverage extended to new owners if the home is sold. The active 77% installation discount applied at the time of the project reduced upfront costs and provided long-term value.
