Customer, Wolatz, requested a safer and more accessible bathing solution by converting an outdated jetted tub into a walk-in shower for elderly parents. The goal was to reduce trip hazards and provide a setup that supports assistive bathing, emphasizing simplicity, safety, and longevity. A low-threshold base with integrated grab bars, built-in seating, and a spacious layout was prioritized to improve comfort and mobility.

The new configuration replaced the corner tub with a full shower enclosure surrounded by marble-look composite panels. Wall surfaces featured a staggered subway pattern in white and gray tones, paired with a matte black sliding door for privacy. Fixtures, including a handheld shower and dual grab bars, were matched in oil-rubbed bronze for contrast. Two corner shelves were recessed into the wall for clutter-free storage, and the shower floor was upgraded to a solid marble-pattern composite pan with gentle slope.
Joey LeBlanc, representative for Five Star Bath Solutions, recommended the Smart Choice package for its antimicrobial protection, grout-free finish, and ADA-rated components. He explained the waterproofing system’s use of marine-grade silicone and a composite backer board that prevents mold buildup. Joey emphasized the reinforced grab bar mounting, tested to support up to 400 pounds, and outlined layout options using a 3D visualizer to help finalize positioning for all accessories.
Installation included full removal down to the studs, correction of any water damage, upgraded plumbing, and support reinforcements for long-term durability. Although the customer initially considered a curtain enclosure, the final design incorporated a semi-private sliding glass system in textured finish for enhanced privacy and easier maintenance. Joey confirmed the ability to replace door style later if accessibility needs changed.
The company backs all projects with a lifetime transferable warranty covering materials and labor. The customer received a corporate upgrade from the Performance tier to Smart Choice, along with a 77% discount on installation. Financing options included zero-down and no prepayment penalties, and a 30-day price match guarantee with a $100 refund was also provided to secure long-term value.
