Kim Etherton from Five Star Bath Solutions introduced the company’s exclusive marble-look composite wall panels, designed to offer the appearance of real stone without the need for caulking or sealing. Kim explained that the surface is manufactured in the U.S., resistant to chipping, and can be wiped down with ease. She also introduced textured matching shower bases and low-maintenance luxury vinyl tile flooring, confirming these options would deliver both durability and cleanliness. The system’s advanced digital imaging process provided a realistic stone look while minimizing upkeep.
The installation included complete demo down to the studs, structural inspection, and remediation of any water damage. The remodel was completed with full-height marble-style composite panels, a solid surface shower base, and two corner shelves. A frameless sliding glass door system in a brushed finish replaced the original curtain rod. The showerhead and valve system were upgraded with a stainless finish, but no bench or recessed shelf was installed, and the window was left as-is without a waterproof wrap. The wall-to-wall surface and threshold showed seamless transitions for easy cleaning and visual consistency.
Five Star Bath Solutions provides a fully transferable lifetime warranty on its wall systems, which remains valid if the home is rented or sold. Kim emphasized the importance of this flexibility for homeowners with long-term investment plans. Although customer-supplied fixtures are not covered, all work and installed components remain protected under the warranty. Kim confirmed the company’s B2 licensing and veteran-owned operation, assuring that no subcontractors would be used, and all labor would be handled by trained in-house professionals.
