The remodeled space now features a composite tub with wall panels finished in a light cream marble-styled design. Three corner shelves were installed in one section, and a chrome handheld shower system was added for comfort and function. Fixtures, including the tub filler and dual-control handle, were updated to a brushed or polished chrome Delta Lahara model. A curved rod was installed to allow more elbow room without requiring a glass enclosure.
Shelby Ball of Five Star Bath Solutions guided the homeowner through several upgrade options. The Smart Choice Package was selected, which included antimicrobial composite panels with realistic slab imagery, silicone-gel sealed seams, and ShowerShield backer board to eliminate traditional drywall weaknesses. Shelby emphasized the benefit of eliminating grout and using a scratch-resistant, non-discoloring surface.
Technical upgrades included quarter-inch composite panels mounted to 100% waterproof ShowerShield backer board, with full blocking behind accessories. The system was finished to ceiling height and sealed with color-matched silicone joints. The shower system used a Delta Lahara fixture line, installed with new valves and trim. Subfloor framing and wall structure were rebuilt where needed before panel installation.
The entire installation was completed in two days by in-house, background-checked installers. Protective coverings were placed on flooring, and all demo materials were removed after completion. Home surfaces were left ready for finishing, with no drywall repair required in the wet zone.
Five Star Bath Solutions backed the remodel with a fully transferable lifetime warranty on labor, parts, and product finish. Proposal guarantees included Best Value (price match with rebate), Certified Craftsman (internal installation only), No Surprise (free structural repair), and Property Protection (surface safety and cleanliness). Shelby offered 75% off installation and an upgrade credit, bringing the Smart Choice total to $10,400. An acrylic alternative was also quoted at $7,889 for reference.
