The remodeled layout introduced a walk-in shower system with marble-style wall panels and a custom-fit glass door enclosure. The design incorporated a brushed nickel grab bar mounted on the back wall, a diagonal safety bar, and a horizontal bar integrated into the glass door. A recessed niche and corner shelf provided organized storage within reach. The fixed window remained in place, with the wall panels custom-trimmed around it. A folding teak bench was mounted to the side wall to accommodate guests with mobility needs. The new floor base was constructed with mosaic tile in coordinating tones to blend with the upgraded grey ceramic floor. The enclosure used a framed dual-bypass sliding glass door system instead of the originally proposed swing-open style. Fixtures and accessories were updated to brushed nickel, and the showerhead was replaced with a multi-spray handheld system mounted on a flexible hose.
The Five Star Bath Solutions representative recommended the Smart Choice package for its antimicrobial, low-maintenance properties. The six-layer composite system featured integrated surface protection that resists mold, mildew, and scratching. The patented Shower Shield backer board was highlighted for its water-impermeable construction and impact durability. Samples and 3D previews were used during the design phase, helping the customer visualize the final layout and compare trim options, including the niche and bench.
Installation included complete removal of the tub and tiled wall system, plumbing conversion to support the new handshower, structural review, and installation of panels and base. All seams were finished with marine-grade silicone. Work was completed by the company’s trained, background-checked in-house crew. The job was finished within the stated two-to-three-day timeframe, with no subcontractors used. Craftsmanship on corner edges, niche alignment, and bench support was closely managed to meet expectations.
