Customer, Sushila, requested replacement of an old bathtub with a walk-in shower in the primary bathroom of a 1970s lakeside retirement home, seeking a modern, low-maintenance upgrade that harmonizes with existing green walls and gray floors. Triton 10×20 subway-style Smart Choice panels and a frameless barn-style sliding door were selected to achieve an open, lake-inspired look.

Scot Kemmer from Five Star Bath Solutions presented the Smart Choice system—quarter-inch-thick, non-porous composite panels with embedded imaging for a realistic stone appearance, antimicrobial protection, and grout-free surfaces. He highlighted the local Buda franchise’s 28-year history, A+ BBB rating, and exclusive use of in-house, certified installers trained at headquarters in Michigan.
Installation spans two days. Protective runners were laid before full demolition to the studs, followed by mold inspection and repair. A thermal-insulated, non-slip printed 2×2 tile base was installed on a waterproof support frame. Commercial-grade PEX plumbing was upgraded to code, proprietary Shower Shield backer boards were applied, and custom panels were fitted floor-to-ceiling with quad-lock flashing. All joints were sealed with 100% antimicrobial silicone. Barn-door hardware was mounted for the sliding enclosure, and two 15-inch corner shelves plus two 18-inch grab bars were securely installed. A project walkthrough, completion certificate, and warranty documents concluded the job.
Five Star Bath Solutions offers a lifetime, transferable warranty covering product, parts, and labor, backed by four proposal guarantees: Best Value, Certified Craftsman, No Surprise, and Property Protection. Two quotes were provided—a 30-day promotional quote with a 77% labor discount and a 12-month quote—plus same-day upgrade savings of $1,400 and up to $1,250 in cash/review credits. Flexible payment options include traditional third-upfront cash or no-money-down financing with deferred payments.
