During the design phase, the homeowner chose Five Star Bath Solutions’ Smart Choice composite wall system in a white marble pattern, which eliminates grout lines and pairs with the company’s marine‑grade silicone sealant to prevent leaks. The final build features matte‑black fixtures instead of the original faucet, including a multi‑function handheld shower on a square valve plate, and a frameless sliding glass door with a towel‑bar handle. The walk‑in shower includes a mosaic floor for slip resistance, three corner shelves and a separate footrest for shaving, and a recessed niche built into the opposite wall for additional storage. Matching trim frames the shower opening, and the neutral pattern flows from wall to floor for a clean, uncluttered look.
Mike Kellerman explained that Smart Choice panels are made of six layers of antimicrobial, non‑porous composite backed by a waterproof Shower Shield board, ensuring there is no grout to crack or mold. Marine‑grade silicone seals the panels and never needs replacement, and all components are covered by a lifetime transferable warranty. Mike also detailed the company’s fixed‑price promise—any hidden damage discovered during demolition is repaired at no extra cost—and highlighted the Price Match Guarantee, which pledges to beat a comparable quote by $100. As part of a nationally franchised brand, the locally owned team leverages volume purchasing to keep costs competitive while employing only W‑2, background‑checked installers.
Installation began with a complete tear‑out down to the studs, including removal of the old tile, tub, and plumbing. The crew repaired any water‑damaged framing, upgraded plumbing to PEX, installed the Shower Shield backer, and set a slip‑resistant mosaic shower base. Smart Choice panels were then applied and trimmed to fit the ceiling height. The recessed niche, corner shelves, footrest, and matte‑black fixtures were positioned according to the homeowner’s preferences, and the frameless sliding glass door was fitted. The project took two days to complete and was scheduled approximately six weeks after selections were finalized.
Five Star Bath Solutions offers financing options and discounts for cash payments and online reviews. The lifetime transferable warranty covers parts, products, and labor for as long as the home is owned. Referral bonuses of $500 and a Price Match Guarantee offer additional incentives. Overall, the homeowner received a modern, leak‑proof shower that is easy to clean, with ample storage and cohesive finishes.
