Tabitha Lambert, the Five Star Bath Solutions representative, recommended the Smart Choice composite system, highlighting its grout-free six-layer design. The panels were selected in a bold marble pattern, not the originally discussed Azura Bay finish. Nonporous surface and antimicrobial properties supported a low-maintenance outcome. Chrome fixtures were installed across all plumbing and safety hardware. A recessed niche was not present in the final setup. Instead, corner shelves were added for bath storage. Tabitha emphasized the use of patented waterproof backing and long-term water resistance with marine-grade silicone.
Installation was completed in two days. The team removed the tub and surrounding tile to the studs. A custom shower base was fabricated to match the original drain location. Plumbing was replaced and adjusted to accommodate the handheld and fixed shower units. Grab bars were anchored into blocking and aligned to meet ADA height range. Wall panels extended to the ceiling within the existing arch. No recessed niche or curtain was included—curtain rod was replaced with a straight chrome bar.
Five Star Bath Solutions provided a fully transferable lifetime warranty covering all labor, materials, and waterproofing components. The original $17,100 MSRP was reduced through layered discounts including 77% labor savings, military and cash offers, and a same-day corporate reduction, bringing the final price to $11,200. Installation used in-house trained and background-checked employees. The customer was informed of the eight-week lead time for materials and appreciated the detailed layout guidance from the 3D design tool.
