The final remodel included a Smart Choice composite wall system in a marble-style finish paired with chrome fixtures. A handheld shower wand was mounted on an adjustable slide bar, with a matching rain-style fixed head. Wall storage was streamlined to a single recessed shelf, and a teak fold-down bench was installed beneath it. One grab bar was added for safety support, with chrome hardware to match the fixture set.
Kyle Grillot of Five Star Bath Solutions recommended the Smart Choice system for its blend of durability, appearance, and ease of maintenance. The system features six-layer PVC composite panels with a stone-look aesthetic and antimicrobial, scratch-resistant surface. Unlike standard tile or fiberglass, this solution uses a proprietary waterproof backer board and eliminates grout and caulk with Thermapaste adhesive sealing. The system includes a lifetime transferable warranty on parts, labor, and installation.
Installation required full tear-out of the prior enclosure down to the studs. Subfloor replacement and drain reconfiguration were completed to accommodate the new pan and entry footprint. The angled shower base and frameless door system were installed over protective flooring coverings. All debris was removed upon completion, and the remodel was completed within a two-day timeline.
Total cost was estimated near $15,000, including product selection and accessories. Financing was offered with 0% interest for up to 24 months, and the quote remained valid for 30 days with additional promotional discounts available for early booking.
