Final installation features included keeping the existing bathtub, not a full tub-to-shower conversion. The tub was retained, and the main visual upgrade was the replacement of the old tile surround and curtain rod with sleek white composite wall panels arranged in a modern horizontal subway layout. A single corner shelf was installed in place of the previously requested three. A brushed nickel handheld shower system was added, mounted higher than the original showerhead for better reach. The curtain was replaced with a dual sliding glass door featuring built-in towel bars for added function.
Stacy Drake presented Five Star Bath Solutions’ six-layer PVC-based wall system with enhanced scratch and mold resistance. She explained how the composite material offers realistic matte textures and finishes without the gloss of acrylic. Layout guidance was provided to align the top of the walls just above the shower head for clean balance. Stacy clarified that the system includes waterproof DensShield backers and no-trim finishing options, maintaining simplicity in visual presentation.
The remodel process included demolition of the old tile and inspection of plumbing and backing surfaces. Existing framing and plumbing lines remained intact, with the updated Delta fixtures installed directly onto the preserved tub. The glass sliding doors were custom-fitted after wall installation. A pre-construction walkthrough ensured alignment of layout preferences and shelf placement. Water was briefly shut off during the single-day remodel, and work was documented for transparency.
All components of the remodel are backed by a fully transferable lifetime warranty covering materials, labor, and installation. The company provided direct communication access to the local ownership team, and the customer appreciated the pressure-free consultation, clear pricing, and the option to revisit rendering selections.
