Five Star Bath Solutions recommended a high-entry walk-in tub with a front-opening swing door for easier transfer, eliminating the need to step over a curb. Everest-patterned PVC panels were selected to match the tones of their kitchen and cabinets, offering a stylish look while maintaining a non-porous and antimicrobial surface. Two matte black grab bars were installed—one on the entry wall and one interior bar—positioned for pivoting and seated stability. A curved wall-mounted curtain rod replaced the original sliding door to prevent collision and simplify caregiver access during bathing.
The remodel followed a detailed multi-day process. Day one involved full demo to the studs, inspection for mold or hidden water issues, and installation of a new exhaust fan to replace the non-functioning unit. The team widened the bathroom door to 32 inches for better wheelchair clearance and installed waterproof GoBoard backing along with new PEX plumbing. The walk-in tub was anchored in place and connected to a Delta fixture package with a square head and slider arm, allowing precise control of water flow for seated use. All work was completed by Five Star's full-time W2 employees.
The remodel is covered by a comprehensive lifetime warranty that protects both the materials and workmanship for as long as the homeowner resides in the property. This includes the waterproof wall system, GoBoard backing, plumbing, and all Delta fixtures. The warranty is fully transferable to future owners, and the company provides ongoing support for cleaning and maintenance. Approved cleaning products were outlined to ensure longevity, emphasizing the importance of avoiding abrasives that could damage the antimicrobial surface.
