The completed shower features full-height, seamless stone-look composite wall panels in a gray marble style. A low-threshold entry replaced the tub for easier access. The final design includes brushed nickel fixtures, including a handheld showerhead, and two angled grab bars for added stability. Three triangular corner shelves were added for daily use items, and a shower curtain rod was mounted for enclosure in lieu of a glass door, aligning with the customer’s cost-conscious approach. A recessed niche, originally considered, was not implemented in the final build.
Chris True of Five Star Bath Solutions presented multiple package levels, with emphasis on the Smart Choice system. The exclusive composite material offers 28 natural stone-inspired finishes, high durability, and antimicrobial protection. Chris explained the product is manufactured for minimal maintenance and long-term value, ideal for homeowners planning to sell. Color-matched shower pans and trim were included for a polished and cohesive look, eliminating the visual contrast typical of mismatched white bases.
Installation included complete removal of the previous tile and bathtub, with demo to the studs and subfloor. New waterproof backer was applied along with sealed composite wall panels. PEX plumbing upgrades and reinforced blocking were installed to accommodate grab bars, which were anchored at two locations. The shower floor transitioned seamlessly into the existing tile, and materials were selected to complement the room’s layout without overcomplicating the design.
Five Star Bath Solutions backed the project with a lifetime transferable warranty covering product, workmanship, and installation under the Smart Choice system. Chris reiterated that no hidden fees would be charged for mold or rot remediation. Installation was completed within the standard two-to-three-day timeline. The customer was assured that the local Nashville team could be contacted at any time for follow-up service or adjustments if needed.
