Customer, Brenda, prioritized structural safety after discovering subfloor damage beneath the tub during recent foundation repairs. Though not originally planning a remodel, the existing 1960s tile and plumbing system had become unsafe and unsalvageable, prompting a full replacement. A deeper tub was installed for added standing room, paired with antimicrobial panels in a marble finish. Design remained secondary to function, with a goal of long-term durability and accessibility.

Julie Stroud, representing Five Star Bath Solutions, led the consultation and detailed the exclusive Smart Choice product line. She presented high-performance six-layer composite panels in a Frost pattern designed to resist water, bacteria, and surface damage. The new surface replaced deteriorated yellow tile with a seamless stone-look panel system, backed by proprietary cement-fiberglass board and waterproof adhesive. Matte black Delta fixtures were chosen instead of chrome, including a handheld showerhead, control valve, and drain fittings. Additional safety-focused upgrades included a grab bar on the side wall and back wall, plus integrated shelving for convenience. The existing curtain rod was replaced but kept its curved profile.
Installation involved a full demolition down to studs, replacement of all subfloor and joist material, and complete tile removal. The crew installed structural framing, plumbing updates, wall panels, tub, and accessories. Despite the intensive structural scope, installation was completed within the quoted five-day timeline. Cleanup was thorough, with site protection and debris removal handled by the same team.
Five Star Bath Solutions guarantees its work with a non-prorated lifetime transferable warranty covering materials, labor, and sealants. Julie also extended promotional pricing which included 75% off installation, a $1,250 cash and review incentive, and a final quote of $14,080—reduced from the original $19,163. Payment terms required only one-third down to reserve the date and initiate the project, with the balance due upon walkthrough and final approval.
