The final remodel included a full-height walk-in shower with marble-style PVC composite panels, installed with no visible grout lines. A new Delta handheld fixture with a square head and brushed nickel finish replaced the previous round sprayer. Two built-in corner shelves were installed instead of the four originally planned. A brushed nickel sliding glass door was installed with one rain-textured panel and one clear panel, preserving partial privacy while maintaining light entry. The new composite base offered a solid visual match to the wall panels. No grab bars were installed, despite being included in the original plan.
Zach Sterling guided the selection of the Smart Choice package, explaining the antimicrobial six-layer PVC wall system. The digitally printed panel design provided a realistic stone aesthetic without pattern repetition, paired with Hydro Block backer board that is fully mold-proof and inorganic. Zach emphasized the absence of caulk-prone seams or organic materials, explaining that the walls and base were manufactured for long-term durability.
Installation involved removing the entire tile surround and inspecting for moisture-damaged framing. The waterproof composite pan and wall panels were installed on day one, followed by fixtures, trim, and door installation on day two. A 24-hour caulking cure time was required before the shower could be used. Cleanup included disposal of debris, dust protection for nearby surfaces, and reassembly of bathroom components.
The project is covered under the Five Star Bath Solutions Lifetime Plus Warranty, which includes materials, installation, and caulking. The no-surprise guarantee covers any framing repairs discovered during demolition at no additional cost. Additional support was offered through a 30-day price lock, \$100 deposit option, liability insurance, and discounts for same-day booking and social media reviews, bringing the final Smart Choice package quote to \$14,832.
