Carlson Reissiger from Five Star Bath Solutions introduced multiple material and layout options, ultimately recommending the Centrel composite system for its realistic stone appearance, affordability, and easy maintenance. The Centrel wall system is grout-free, antimicrobial, and simulates natural finishes while avoiding mold risks associated with traditional grout. Carlson also described the use of thick backer boards equipped with Hydro-Tech moisture shields, providing durability well above industry norms. He addressed design flexibility, confirmed that the wall being considered for removal was non-load-bearing, and outlined options for repositioning outlets to accommodate the new vanity configuration. He built customer confidence by emphasizing the team’s strong reviews, licensed and insured status, and personal oversight of high-skill crews.
Installation followed standard protocol with in-house professionals managing every stage. The project began with demolition of the oversized corner tub and surrounding materials, followed by preparation for the new framed enclosure. Images confirm the replacement area now features a marble-style Centrel wall panel system in a grayscale vein pattern, paired with matte black grab bars and a wall-mounted shower system. A low-threshold shower base was installed in place of the original tub, aligning with the customer's request for safer and easier access. Recessed shelving was added on both rear and side walls for seated convenience. Surrounding flooring and vanity cabinet were preserved during this stage, with space left for future upgrades to the dual-sink system.
Five Star Bath Solutions offers a lifetime transferable warranty covering materials, installation, and Delta plumbing components. Carlson explained that while tile options are available upon request, the company avoids offering warranty coverage for grout-based finishes due to known maintenance issues. Instead, sealing systems and non-organic backing materials are used to guarantee long-term resistance to moisture and failure. Multiple promotions were available to the customer, including 77% off installation, military discounts, and $0-down financing. Carlson reinforced that project costs would not increase post-signing, even if adjustments were required during install.
