Tom Seesz from Five Star Bath Solutions reviewed the company’s composite wall systems—Onyx and Centrale—against lower-grade acrylic alternatives. He highlighted that each panel is one solid, scribed piece with no grout joints, and that the ShowerShield waterproof backer plus vapor barrier and quad-lock corner protection eliminate leaks and mold risk. Commercial-grade Delta valves with brushed nickel trim and all optional upgrades, including handheld showers and safety bars, incur no extra cost. All finish colors, white or design, carry the same lifetime warranty.
Installation began with tear-out to the studs and subfloor, including mold remediation and replacement of any rotted framing or insulation. The crew installed a solid-core tub base directly on the subfloor—eschewing foam or risky caulking methods—then affixed Calacatta-style marble composite wall panels. Plumbing from the trap up was fully replaced, and two inset corner shelves were scribed into the panels. Debris was hauled away without the need for a dumpster rental.
Five Star Bath Solutions backed the system with a fully transferable lifetime warranty covering both product and labor, with no service call fees and permit pulling on every job. As a locally owned, BBB-accredited franchise, they offered $1,000 in internet savings and $500 off via the home show promotion, which the clients can apply as upfront reductions or toward zero-interest financing. An emailed itemized quote—including countertop options—will guide their final decision.
