Tub To Shower Conversion

Paddock Ave, Unit 1802, Meriden, CT , 06450

The remodel replaced a fiberglass tub-shower combo with a walk-in shower featuring composite wall panels in an Everest-inspired design. Matte black fixtures were installed, including a Delta handheld showerhead and control valve. Two corner shelves and a grab bar were added for both safety and storage. A custom non-slip base with matching wall-to-pan integration provided a cohesive, low-maintenance surface.

Mike Kellerman introduced the Smart Choice system from Five Star Bath Solutions, describing its grout-free composite panels designed to resist water seepage, mold, and mildew. He highlighted the use of antimicrobial sealants and waterproof backer boards. The installation team consisted exclusively of licensed, in-house professionals with background checks. Mike also noted the company’s local ownership near Texas Motor Speedway and $2 million insurance coverage per project.

The full process began with demolition to the studs and inspection for any hidden water damage. Structural wood replacement was included at no additional charge. New plumbing was installed using Delta components, and finishing details included paneling, grab bar installation, and matte black hardware. Project scheduling was noted at approximately five to six weeks out, with a typical install time of one to three days depending on bathroom complexity.

The remodel was backed by a lifetime transferable warranty covering labor, panels, fixtures, and sealants. Mike explained that the antimicrobial silicone used in joints would not require future maintenance. Delta fixtures also carried a lifetime guarantee, and all repairs or adjustments would be handled directly by the company. Promotions included 77% off installation, review-based discounts, and optional product upgrades for same-day commitments, though this customer planned to compare additional estimates before finalizing.
