Johnny Hammer of Five Star Bath Solutions introduced the Smart Choice package, featuring grout-free Centrel wall panels that offer the aesthetic of natural tile without the mold-prone joints. After reviewing finish samples, the customer confirmed white pearl marble panels and a textured base for improved slip resistance. Johnny explained the Centrel system is fabricated in Utah and installed over waterproof ShowerShield backing using commercial-grade sealants. A two-panel frameless hinged glass system was planned, with custom measurement and fabrication scheduled separately post-installation.
Installation included full demolition to the studs, removal of the original single-piece molded unit, inspection for any signs of moisture damage, and replacement of plumbing lines with PEX. Centrel panels in a marble pattern were then secured over ShowerShield board and sealed thoroughly at all transitions. A new handheld fixture in brushed nickel was installed, and two corner shelves were added for storage. At the time of photography, glass installation was pending final measurement and fabrication, as is standard with custom door systems.
Five Star Bath Solutions backs its Smart Choice installations with a lifetime transferable warranty that covers both labor and materials without exclusions. The Nashville-based franchise ensures all installers are licensed, insured, and experienced exclusively in bathroom remodels. Johnny emphasized their structured process, minimal disruption, and future service availability should the customer wish to continue with glass door completion.
