Stacy Drake from Five Star Bath Solutions introduced the company’s composite material system, which features antimicrobial, non-porous, and scratch-resistant panels. She emphasized the skid-resistant base that gains traction when wet and noted the design eliminates grout, porous surfaces, or moisture buildup. Stacy clarified that certified in-house installers manage each job using a detailed plan. Five Star Bath Solutions, based locally in White Bear Lake, holds full licensing and insurance, and is a recognized vendor on the VA’s preferred list, which aligned with the customer’s assistance application.
Installation involved removing the tub and tile down to the studs, treating minor mold, inspecting and leveling the subfloor, and installing a waterproof backer system with quad-lock corners. New Delta plumbing and a commercial-grade PEX system were added before securing the base, full-height Calacatta composite panels, corner shelves, and bypass glass door. The new shower area received a final silicone seal and thorough cleanup. Vinyl plank flooring and a new comfort-height toilet were also included in the scope. A separate vanity top upgrade was discussed as an option, with accessory placement finalized during install.
Five Star Bath Solutions provides a fully transferable lifetime warranty on labor and materials, including service calls. Original quote for the wet area totaled $16,915, reduced to $13,915 with a VA discount and online offer. Additional projects included the new toilet at $750 and luxury plank flooring at $3,450. Optional vanity top was offered at $2,135, with a suggestion to purchase the toilet separately for further savings. Financing was available with 10% down and monthly payments. Final scope and pricing were contingent on VA approval.
