The final configuration removed the framed enclosure and recessed tub, replacing them with a matte white freestanding tub and a barrier-free walk-in shower. The shower system included large-format marble-style composite wall panels, a frameless glass panel divider, a black wall-mounted handheld shower, and a floating corner shelf. Fixtures throughout the space were finished in black, including faucets, tub filler, and hardware, delivering a cohesive modern contrast against the light wall and floor palette.
Five Star Bath Solutions representative, introduced the Centra composite wall system, noting its seamless antimicrobial finish, mold resistance, and expansion sealant that avoids shrinkage. He reinforced the company’s no-caulk approach and steel-bracket reinforcement for long-term structural integrity. While chrome hardware was originally considered, matte black was chosen for visual cohesion and contemporary appeal. Shower glass was minimized to a single panel to maintain openness without requiring a full door assembly. The freestanding tub was selected in place of a jetted version, aligning with a minimalist aesthetic and eliminating the need for additional electrical.
Installation included a full tear-out of the shower and tub enclosure, new plumbing connections, and integration of the black tub filler beside the freestanding unit. DensShield waterproof backing was applied behind all wall panels. The site was prepped with a full walkthrough by the install team to verify framing and layout prior to material installation. Flooring was updated with stone-look vinyl planks, offering durability and slip resistance. All work was completed within the typical one-to-two day installation window.
Five Star Bath Solutions included a lifetime transferable warranty on all installed components, with the exception of any optional mechanical elements. Financing options and multiple discounts were available, although electrical was not required due to the removal of the jetted tub option. The customer selected the layout for its open feel, simplified maintenance, and long-term value.
