Tub To Shower Conversion

Muirfield Ridge Dr, Garner, NC , 27529

Antigone McKenna introduced Five Star Bath Solutions’ Smart Choice composite package, featuring a six-layer antimicrobial surface with embedded stone visual design. The customer selected a warm neutral finish for the wall panels and base to match the tile flooring. Fixtures were retained in chrome finish and included a dual-function showerhead with a wall-mounted holder for convenience. The overall look was customized for comfort, safety, and a refined appearance without grout lines or textured seams. The new design reached to ceiling height and included a wall wrap at the enclosure entry for a fully integrated visual finish.

Installation involved demolition of the existing unit down to the studs, followed by layout approval and waterproof prep using Shower Shield backer board with quad-lock silicone corners. Visual confirmation shows two corner shelves, a fold-down teak bench on the valve wall, and two grab bars: one installed vertically near the entry and one horizontal on the back wall. The handheld shower wand remained in chrome with an adjustable height holder. The project was completed over a multi-day period with onsite cleanup.

Five Star Bath Solutions supports all Smart Choice installations with a fully transferable lifetime warranty covering product, parts, labor, and workmanship. Antigone outlined that pricing includes all plumbing upgrades, such as replacement of copper with PEX piping, as well as any subfloor repairs needed. The final quoted price was $17,125 with senior discount and promotional savings applied. A scaled-back option for shower-only and flooring was presented at $14,371, with both proposals covering installation, materials, and financing options.
