Tub To Shower Conversion

Leonid Rd, Jacksonville, FL , 32218

In the master bath, the remodel preserved the existing bathtub while replacing the previous light gray stone-look tile with high-gloss Calacatta-style composite panels, wrapping the space in large white marble veining. The original accent band and niche shelving were removed and replaced with integrated features matching the new panels. In the hallway bath, the old tub and tile were removed and replaced with a walk-in shower that used the same marble composite system, giving both bathrooms a unified visual finish. A built-in recessed niche and a corner shelf were included in the shower, along with a horizontal grab bar under the window for added safety.

Ehsan, the Five Star Bath Solutions representative, emphasized their mold-resistant system and explained that traditional tile would be removed down to the studs due to existing moisture penetration. He recommended their full-height composite panels that extend to eight feet for added protection and low maintenance. The customer selected the Calacatta finish in chrome trim to align with existing fixtures and maintain a clean, consistent aesthetic.

The panels used were made of PVC composite with antimicrobial properties, resistant to mold and mildew. All wet area substrates were upgraded with closed-cell inorganic HydroBlock backer boards, sealed with antimicrobial silicone to ensure complete moisture control. The custom walk-in shower pan was built with a closed-cell foam core for structural integrity and slip resistance. Updated plumbing lines were routed using PEX materials, and a chrome-finished handheld shower with wand was installed for flexible use.

A two-man crew handled the entire process, from floor protection and demolition to installation and cleanup. Both bathrooms were completed within the projected two-to-three-day timeline. The company’s full-time employee model ensured consistent workmanship without subcontracting. No dumpster was required, and all debris was removed at the end of the project.

The customer received a fully transferable lifetime warranty that includes both product parts and workmanship. Financing was offered with zero down and no prepayment penalties. Additional promotional discounts were available through marketing participation and review submission.
