The remodeled space now features a walk-in shower with full-height composite wall panels in a Calcutta White finish. The interior includes a fold-down teak bench installed on the left side and a set of three safety grab bars. A chrome handheld showerhead was mounted on the right wall, and two integrated corner shelves were placed at varied heights. A frameless sliding glass door system with exposed rollers and towel bar handles was used to enclose the shower.
Johnny Hammer, the Five Star Bath Solutions representative, recommended the Smart Choice package with Centrel wall panels. He explained the system’s grout-free surface, high-resolution stone-like finish, and non-porous construction that resists mold and mildew. The customer originally considered a prefabricated corner bench but opted for the fold-down teak model after reviewing samples. Window privacy was addressed by retaining the existing glass with optional frost film as a potential future upgrade.
The product package included Centrel panels printed in 10x20 style, ADA-compliant non-slip shower flooring, and a waterproof backing system made of ShowerShield and reinforced corners. All plumbing fixtures were upgraded to chrome Delta components, and fixture heights were adjusted for comfort and accessibility. Though the review text indicated frosted doors, the final installed doors are fully clear, as confirmed in the photos.
Installation was completed in two days. The old tub, tile, and fixtures were removed down to the studs. Subfloor and framing were inspected and reinforced as needed. New PEX plumbing lines were installed, and the full rebuild included bench installation, wall paneling, accessory mounting, and custom trimming around the existing window.
Five Star Bath Solutions provides a fully transferable lifetime warranty covering labor, panels, fixtures, accessories, and sealing. The customer was given 30 days to accept the discounted price. Final project cost totaled $12,955 after labor and promotional savings, including $2,000 in combined discounts for AARP, veteran status, senior pricing, and online review incentives. Financing was available with a $0 down option at $186 per month.
