Tub To Shower Conversion

N 59 Terrace, Kansas City, KS , 66104

The remodel features white marble-style composite wall panels with full-height coverage extending above the showerhead. The enclosure includes a rain-textured semi-frameless sliding glass door, chrome-finished grab bars, and a handheld showerhead mounted on a flexible hose. Two corner shelves were installed for product storage. A low-threshold pan with a slip-resistant surface and polished drain cover completes the base. No bench was installed in the final configuration, preserving open floor space.

Alaina Dettling of Five Star Bath Solutions guided the customers through the Smart Choice composite wall system, explaining its six-layer antimicrobial and scratch-resistant construction. She highlighted how the non-porous acrylic surface eliminates the need for grout maintenance and provides a cleaner, longer-lasting solution compared to tile or fiberglass. The system includes a proprietary waterproof cement backer board and marine-grade silicone sealing for durability and compliance with modern codes.

Installation was handled by Five Star’s certified, background-checked employees with no subcontractors. Work included full demo to the studs and subfloor, installation of a non-slip shower pan, and Delta commercial-grade plumbing updates. Final trim and wall finishes were cut to fit the existing crown molding and tile floor. Installation was completed in one to two days after materials arrived, with a standard six to eight week lead time. Pre-construction planning ensured all grab bars and shelves were placed with proper blocking behind the walls.

The Smart Choice system is covered by a full lifetime warranty, transferable to future homeowners without time limits or fees. Alaina outlined multiple discount layers, including veterans, accessibility, and referral incentives, bringing the total from over $19,000 down to $14,545. She also referenced the company’s long-standing A+ BBB rating and local ownership by Mick and Ken, reinforcing trust and support beyond the install.
