Tom Seesz from Five Star Bath Solutions reviewed differences between fiberglass, tile, and the company’s proprietary six-layer composite system. He explained the advantages of grout-free antimicrobial panels and a solid-core base, which resolved concerns about cracking or soft spots caused by foam fill. Design focus included product performance, low maintenance, and straightforward cleaning. A matte black fixture suite was selected, diverging from the original chrome plan, to better complement the updated aesthetic. The customer opted for a decorative marble finish upgrade, adjusting initial plans that had favored plain white for cost reasons.
Installation began with a full demo of the previous framed unit down to the studs. DensShield backer board and quad-lock PVC corners were installed for waterproof integrity, followed by precise panel fitting and thermal-seal adhesive at seams. Two corner shelves were integrated into the wall system. Clear frameless doors replaced the proposed curtain rod to enhance both appearance and enclosure strength. No structural issues were encountered behind the wall, and cleanup was completed without the need for a dumpster.
Five Star Bath Solutions backs all materials and labor with a fully transferable lifetime warranty. Coverage includes protection against leaks, cracks, mold, and mildew. Installers completed all work in one day, with final walk-through and customer shelf placement included in the scope. Project total reached $12,900 after selecting upgraded wall panels and frameless doors. Original discounts for white panel selection, curtain rod, and chrome hardware were removed. Final price reflected applied online and social media savings. Financing remained available with 10% down and flexible monthly terms.
