The remodeled shower features a solid surface Onyx wall system with a light beige marble pattern and subtle veining, framed by a contrasting band of mosaic tile in a hexagonal pattern. The enclosure includes a custom Onyx shower base with integrated slope and drain, finished in the same solid surface material. A partial-height entry wall replaces the previous framed enclosure, maintaining open visibility while supporting a future pivot-style glass door. Matching ceiling trim and two corner shelves were integrated into the wall system. Fixtures include a brushed nickel handheld showerhead and a single-lever Delta valve system mounted flush to the wall.
Tom Seesz, the Five Star Bath Solutions representative, presented the Onyx system as a durable and hygienic alternative to traditional tile. He emphasized the material’s non-porous surface, antimicrobial properties, and grout-free maintenance. Each panel was custom-cut to fit, avoiding caulking shrinkage and alignment gaps. Tom explained that their sealants flex with thermal changes and resist drying or cracking over time. The Denshield waterproof backer board and integrated vapor barrier further protect against mold and moisture intrusion behind the panels.
Installation involved complete demolition down to the studs, mold remediation, replacement of subfloor materials, and new PEX plumbing lines from the trap up. Additional framing and blocking were added as needed to support accessories and wall integrity. The Onyx base and panels were installed with thermal-sealed joints, along with built-in shelving and ceiling trim. The brushed nickel fixture set was mounted and aligned to customer specifications, with final measurements taken for the custom pivot glass door.
Five Star Bath Solutions backs all work with a fully transferable lifetime warranty, covering materials, labor, and plumbing. The project included permit handling and post-installation cleanup. The total cost was down after applying a $1,000 online coupon, with financing available at 10% down and monthly payments around $336 based on credit. The customer acknowledged the urgency of the mold issue and recognized the long-term value of a full structural replacement over a temporary fix.
