The Five Star Bath Solutions representative presented the company’s six-layer composite Smart Choice wall system, featuring a waterproof, mold-resistant backer board and factory-sealed joints using proprietary silicone. He explained that unlike fiberglass or big-box acrylic kits, this composite panel is scratch-resistant, has antimicrobial properties, and avoids the maintenance demands of tile. The shower base included a non-slip textured surface, and the panels came in subtle finishes with a softer satin sheen, preferred by the customer over high-gloss acrylic. Fixtures offered included plumber-grade Delta hardware, and the representative emphasized the inclusion of a handheld shower at no extra charge, finished in metal, not plastic, for longevity and aesthetic appeal.
Installation involved complete demolition to the studs, re-plumbing with PEX, and bracing added for secure shelving. The wall panels were extended to the ceiling for full coverage and capped with a clean trim piece. The oil-rubbed bronze bypass sliding glass door was installed as selected, replacing the previous curtain configuration. Work also included safety features such as grab bars installed with internal reinforcement. Updated tile work and storage enhancements outside the wet area contributed to a more unified and functional layout, including the addition of a white over-toilet cabinet and refreshed lighting to complement the brighter, modern shower enclosure.
Five Star Bath Solutions offers a lifetime warranty that covers all labor, materials, parts, and silicone. The warranty is fully transferable to the next homeowner, and the company emphasizes a strong reputation, local ownership, and commitment to customer satisfaction over advertising. Factory-trained, full-time installers manage all aspects of the remodel and permitting. This remodel was completed without delays, and the homeowner acknowledged the professionalism of the install team and expressed interest in working with the company again on a future bathroom project.
