Julie Stroud from Five Star Bath Solutions presented the Smart Choice system, a six-layer PVC-based wall solution with antimicrobial properties and scratch resistance. The selected finish features a soft marble pattern with subtle veining in white and neutral taupe tones. Fixtures were installed in polished chrome, not rubbed oil bronze as originally planned. The bypass door was installed with towel-bar handles, offering improved containment and accessibility. No bench was included, per the customer's request to keep the enclosure open and efficient.
Installation included full demolition down to the studs, assessment of structural surfaces, and replacement of any water-damaged materials. Cement-fiber backer board was installed beneath the waterproof panels to support long-term durability. A pre-sloped low-profile shower base replaced the tub to allow safer entry for renters, and new Delta fixtures were mounted with pressure-balanced controls. Final site cleanup and glass installation were completed in a two-day window.
Five Star Bath Solutions backs the full system with a non-prorated, lifetime transferable warranty covering wall panels, adhesives, fixtures, and caulking. Julie reviewed warranty terms, installation timeline, and promotional pricing. Original MSRP was $17,494, but a combination of 75% install discount, promotional savings, and a limited-time offer brought the final total to $11,735. The offer was extended for 30 days to accommodate scheduling around the tenant's move-out.
