Tub To Shower Conversion

Krumkill Rd, Albany, NY , 12203

The remodel replaced the previous tub and curtain system with a seamless walk-in shower. The new installation features a clear bypass sliding glass door with polished chrome hardware and integrated towel bars. A handheld showerhead system is installed at the left wall with a vertical bar for adjustability. Three corner shelves were added to maximize storage while maintaining an open, uncluttered layout. Smooth white composite wall panels replaced the aging insert, providing a sleek and uniform look that brightens the space and resists future staining or mildew.

The Five Star Bath Solutions representative emphasized the value of using composite wall materials over traditional tile, eliminating grout lines for easier maintenance and long-term durability. The new system uses a low-threshold acrylic base, providing safe step-in access without requiring a full floor redesign. Although the chandelier lighting remained unchanged, the updated enclosure elevated the bathroom’s cleanliness and functionality while blending with the vintage charm of the space.

This remodel followed a standard two-day timeline, beginning with complete removal of the previous tub, plumbing, and wall panels. Framing and plumbing were reinforced to accommodate the new fixtures, and the new composite walls were installed with full waterproofing treatment. Sliding glass doors were mounted and aligned for smooth operation, with built-in towel bars providing dual use. Installation debris was removed same-day, and flooring was preserved without requiring alteration.

Five Star Bath Solutions provides a fully transferable lifetime warranty on all installed products. Any manufacturing or installation issues are resolved at no cost. Price transparency is guaranteed, with no mid-project changes or surprise upgrades. The customer opted for a direct-payment approach without financing, and no additional promotional incentives were used.
