Customer, Walter, initially requested a tub-to-shower combo conversion to create a space suitable for soaking during colder seasons. The original configuration lacked a tub, featuring a gray molded surround with basic fixtures and a ceiling opening showing exposed framing. The setup included a curtain rod with no waterproofing integration and lacked functional storage or seating. The remodel focused on creating a more spa-like experience, improved waterproofing, and a clean finish throughout.

The remodeled space features a full walk-in shower, not a tub-shower combo as initially discussed. The final installation includes large-format light gray subway tile-look composite wall panels, extending floor to ceiling on all sides. A frameless sliding glass door system in brushed nickel finish was installed instead of matte black. The shower base was converted to a low-entry style with a textured tile-matched pan. Three floating corner shelves and a built-in bench were integrated for function and comfort. Fixtures include a handheld showerhead and matching valve trim in polished chrome rather than matte black.
Ostin Tuma from Five Star Bath Solutions originally presented the Smart Choice multi-layered composite system, emphasizing its waterproof, non-porous, and antimicrobial design. He positioned it as a low-maintenance alternative to real tile while delivering a similar visual finish. The customer preferred a minimal and coordinated look, leading to the selection of subway tile-style wall panels and matching storage elements. While the original plan included a soaker tub, the final decision shifted to a full walk-in shower to maximize space and accessibility.
Ostin described a full demolition process to the studs with structural review, installation of a waterproof backer system, and updated plumbing using commercial-grade Delta components. The panels were installed up to the ceiling, sealed with antimicrobial silicone, and finished with quad-lock corner protection. Accessory placement was customized based on shower layout. A recessed niche was mentioned in the original discussion but does not appear in the final installation. The job was completed within a one-day timeframe, with lead time ranging between four and six weeks from signing. Ostin scheduled a second walkthrough to align all preferences prior to install.
Five Star Bath Solutions provided a fully transferable lifetime warranty covering materials, labor, plumbing, and service visits. All installation work is guaranteed under the company’s policy with no additional trip fees. The total quoted cost was $20,850 before discounts, with final pricing reduced to $18,850 after internet and social media promotions. The customer was given an additional option to omit the glass door for a $1,000 savings, though the installed door confirms this was not selected.
