Tub To Shower Conversion

Big Brush Ln, Jacksonville, FL, 32258

The original setup featured a traditional acrylic bathtub with a tile surround and framed sliding glass doors. During demolition, the full surround and tub were removed and replaced with a walk-in shower system featuring white marble-look composite panels. A textured, non-slip three-inch threshold base was installed to improve accessibility without requiring wheelchair clearance. A metal-framed, fold-down bench was added for seated support. The panel system extended to the ceiling and was paired with a stainless steel recessed niche for integrated storage. Two safety grab bars, one vertical near the entrance and one horizontal under the niche, were installed with structural backing.

Ehsan, the Five Star Bath Solutions representative, emphasized that the company specializes in wet bath conversions for safety and hygiene. He explained that their panels use virgin PVC composite, reinforced with antimicrobial agents and scratch resistance. The base, made with closed cell foam and sealed using antimicrobial silicone, was designed to prevent mold buildup and ensure slip resistance. The customer opted for a standard shower rod instead of glass due to safety preferences, with future door upgrades available.

The materials used included full-height composite panels with a natural stone aesthetic. The waterproof surface was sealed permanently using antimicrobial silicone, and a HydroBlock inorganic foam backer board was installed behind the panels to resist moisture intrusion. A custom-built shower base with a non-slip surface matched the layout precisely. Plumbing was updated with PEX lines, and a dual-function handheld and fixed head system was mounted on a vertical bar for flexibility. All fixtures were finished in brushed nickel.

Installation was completed within the standard one to two-day window. Floors were protected during demolition, and all debris was removed without requiring a dumpster. The bench, grab bars, and niche were aligned per customer preference and confirmed by the project manager.

The remodel included a fully transferable, unlimited lifetime warranty covering parts, product, and workmanship. Payment options included zero down financing with no prepayment penalty or a staged cash payment plan. Available promotions included major labor discounts, upgrade incentives, seasonal and flexibility-based savings.
