Tub To Shower Conversion

Conner St, Kansas City, KS , 66106

The completed remodel features a walk-in shower with smooth white composite walls extending to the ceiling. A chrome Delta Ashlyn square showerhead with handheld functionality was installed on the right wall. Two triangular corner shelves were mounted on the left for in-shower storage. A clear glass block window was preserved for natural light, and a chrome curtain rod replaced the original enclosure. No grab bars, benches, or recessed niches were added per customer preference.

Johnny Hammer, the Five Star Bath Solutions representative, recommended the Smart Choice composite wall system. While the review mentioned a Centrel wall finish in Azura Bay, the final installed walls are a solid white matte surface, not the patterned Centrel style. Johnny explained the system’s durability, resistance to mold, and grout-free surface for long-term upkeep. He also reviewed various fixture and layout options, helping the customer select practical solutions within the existing layout.

The product package included scratch-resistant composite wall panels installed over ShowerShield waterproof backer. The backer system includes concrete, fiberglass, and styrofoam layers designed to resist moisture and support long-term stability. The chrome shower system was selected for its clean lines and consistent water pressure. The barn-style door referenced in the review was not installed; a curtain rod was used instead.

Installation was completed in two days. Crews removed the old tub and panels, exposed the wall to the studs, performed plumbing upgrades with PEX lines, and installed a new low-profile base with full panel surrounds. No structural changes to the window were required. All work was completed on-site with protective measures and clean-up on final day.

Five Star Bath Solutions backs its Smart Choice shower system with a fully transferable lifetime warranty. Coverage includes wall panels, plumbing fixtures, base, and labor. Warranty protection is extended to future homeowners and includes service visits if issues arise. Pricing was quoted at $16,525 MSRP, discounted to $13,220 after standard promotional offers. A same-day decision incentive for an upgraded package at the base-tier price would have further reduced the total to $12,020. The customer deferred final approval but was given 30 days to secure the quoted pricing.
