Tub To Shower Conversion

Rainbow Ln, Kansas City, MO , 64114

The final configuration features seamless white slab-style Centrel wall panels with no simulated tile lines. Two built-in corner shelves were installed for daily product storage, and chrome-finished grab bars were added—one horizontally at the rear wall and one vertically at the entrance for safe access. A curved shower rod provides generous room inside the enclosure, paired with a Delta handheld shower system. No seating element was installed, maintaining an open, step-in layout.

Johnny Hammer of Five Star Bath Solutions presented the Smart Choice package using US-manufactured Centrel composite panels, which replicate the appearance of stone but eliminate grout. He explained that Centrel is printed with high-resolution imagery over a closed-cell foam core, bonded to waterproofing-grade adhesive. Johnny highlighted how the company’s process is specialized for shower systems only, and all installers are licensed and trained specifically for wet-area remodels.

The installation process included full demolition down to the studs, subfloor inspection, and reinstallation of plumbing fixtures using Delta hardware. Repairs were included at no added cost. The crew completed the transformation within two working days, with materials scheduled for delivery six to eight weeks after final measurements. A curved rod replaced the customer’s old straight rod for improved function, and all accessories were positioned based on the pre-construction planning session.

Five Star Bath Solutions backs its Centrel Smart Choice package with a full lifetime warranty that covers labor, product, and fixtures. The warranty is fully transferable to future homeowners with no restrictions or service fees. Pricing was quoted at $12,180 after applying $3,100 in labor promotions, and financing was offered through Foundation Finance with zero down and first payment due 30 days post-installation. While the customer’s application was delayed due to income-to-debt ratio, other options such as co-signing or bank financing were provided, and the quote was held open until December 4.
