Brad Mercer of Five Star Bath Solutions introduced the Centrel system, a composite PVC product designed to replicate the appearance of natural stone without grout lines or porous surfaces. He explained that Centrel panels are antimicrobial and mold-resistant and are sealed with thermal expansion joints instead of traditional caulk. Brad further highlighted their exclusive focus on bathroom remodeling, use of licensed and insured installers, and commitment to detailed pre-planning, including a pre-install walkthrough with local owner Jared Besherian. He walked the customer through various material samples in person to help ensure visual harmony with the current bathroom.
Installation involved full removal of the tile and bathtub down to the studs, followed by structural inspection and waterproof system application. A low-threshold textured shower pan was installed for slip resistance, along with new PEX piping for better durability. Three brushed nickel grab bars were mounted for safe movement, and a fold-down corner bench was integrated for seated bathing. Wall panels in a light marble tone extended floor to ceiling, coordinating with existing floor tile and preserving visual continuity. A frameless barn-style sliding glass door was installed with a brushed nickel towel bar handle and easy-glide system.
Delta premium fixtures were installed, including a multi-spray shower head delivering consistent high-pressure flow. The entire remodel was completed over a three-day period, with final inspection following installation. A full walk-through confirmed fixture placement and sealed panel transitions.
Five Star Bath Solutions provided a lifetime transferable warranty covering all labor and materials, with no exclusions or service fees. A $1,600 Smart Choice corporate discount and a $750 check payment rebate. Financing options were made available with $160 per month payments and no prepayment penalties.
