Tub To Shower Conversion

San Tomas Dr, Pittsburg, CA , 94565

The selected system includes a brushed marble-style composite wall panel finish, paired with an obscure glass sliding door for added privacy. The setup incorporates brushed nickel fixtures, a handheld shower system with modern wall-mounted controls, and two matching grab bars placed on the entry side and main wall. Built-in corner shelving was added for integrated storage, while a fixed bench in the rear corner provides permanent seating. No recessed niche is present, reflecting a design change from the customer’s original plan.

Claude Monteiro, the Five Star Bath Solutions representative, recommended the Smart Choice package. This system uses six-layer PVC panels with 8K stone imaging and a scratch-resistant, antimicrobial surface. The grout-free design prevents water intrusion and mold buildup. Claude emphasized the company’s strong reputation, long history, and dedicated bathroom remodeling focus with background-checked W2 installers.

Installation involved full removal to the studs, followed by moisture and mold inspection. New PEX plumbing, a non-organic waterproof backer board, and updated fixtures were installed. Final placement of all components, including grab bars and shelving, aligned with onsite layout checks. The job was completed cleanly and efficiently, with protective measures throughout the home.

The project is covered by a fully transferable, lifetime, non-prorated warranty including materials, labor, and plumbing. While pricing exceeded the original budget at \$18,881, corporate-level promotions and upgrades brought the final proposal to \$17,182. The customer chose to delay commitment, requesting time to consider alternatives. Full proposal and visuals were sent by email for review.
