The upgraded layout retained the jetted tub footprint but introduced a full wrap of composite wall panels in a white marble finish. The updated surround includes two corner-mounted shelves and a chrome square handheld showerhead with slide bar. A horizontal grab bar was added on the back wall for safety. All trim and edges were updated in matching material for a cohesive, seamless appearance. The result transformed the space from aged and tile-heavy to bright, functional, and easier to maintain.
Jordan Santiano, the Five Star Bath Solutions representative, presented the Smart Choice composite system made with six bonded layers and antimicrobial coating. The walls are non-porous, grout-free, and backed by the proprietary Shower Shield system—a cement-coated, closed-cell foam backer board designed to block water penetration. Jordan addressed prior concerns with seamless panel failures from another provider by explaining the company’s thorough material inspection process and product warranty coverage. The customer selected a white marble pattern for its updated look and ease of care.
Installation included complete demo to the studs, removal of compromised surfaces, and plumbing upgrades to a lifetime-warranted PEX system. All walls were sealed with Shower Shield and surfaced with seamless Smart Choice panels. Two built-in shampoo shelves were added, along with a chrome curtain rod and full skirt wrap around the tub deck using the same wall material. Moisture remediation was addressed during install at no added charge. The flooring around the tub was reconfigured to meet the updated skirt finish and was prepped for the customer's own flooring contractor.
Five Star Bath Solutions offers a lifetime transferable warranty covering all parts, labor, and installation. Their “no surprise” policy includes remediation of mold, leaks, and structural issues discovered during demo at no additional cost. The company applied multiple incentives to help manage the customer’s budget, including a 77% installation discount, upgrade to Smart Choice at no added charge, $750 cash discount, and $500 discount for review participation. While final commitment was pending other financial decisions, the customer expressed confidence in the transparency and professionalism of the proposal.
