Mike Kellerman of Five Star Bath Solutions presented the Smart Choice package as the ideal solution. This flagship offering features quarter-inch thick virgin PVC wall panels with antimicrobial and anti-scratch properties, installed over the proprietary waterproof backer board system—a cement-layered, closed-cell foam core called Shower Shield. Mike explained how their installations avoid traditional grout and caulking, instead using marine-grade silicone that won’t crack or peel, providing a seamless, watertight finish. The company creates 3D renderings of the selected products so homeowners can preview their remodeled space, and Mike emphasized that their system mimics the look of stone without the cost, weight, or risk of mold.
With over 30 years of industry experience and a locally owned operation in Justin, TX, Five Star Bath Solutions employs only full-time, background-checked, drug-tested, and certified installers. Mike detailed the company’s thorough installation process, which includes complete demolition down to the wood studs, free replacement of any damaged structural materials, plumbing updates, and final installation of all new components. Drop cloths are used to protect the home throughout the project. While the couple planned broader updates to the bathroom flooring and surrounding tile themselves, they appreciated the simplicity of hiring one company to handle the entire shower remodel. The job was scheduled for roughly eight weeks out and would take approximately three days to complete.
All Five Star Bath Solutions installations are backed by a lifetime transferable warranty covering wall panels, sealants, plumbing, and accessories, with Delta fixtures carrying their own manufacturer lifetime guarantee. The only exception is the glass door, which includes a separate manufacturer warranty. The Smart Choice package was quoted at $20,000 but included a $4,000 discount through a 30-day promotion. Mike offered an additional same-day decision incentive, reducing the final cost to $14,784. The couple opted to finance the project through Foundation Financial at approximately $211/month and were impressed with the transparent terms, professional communication, and lifetime service commitment.
