Johnny Hammer, the Five Star Bath Solutions representative, presented both traditional tile and Centrelle composite options. While the company can accommodate tile through specialized installers, Johnny highlighted the long-term advantages of Centrelle: a natural stone appearance without grout, a waterproof mold-resistant backer, and seamless panels that clean easily. The company’s hybrid model—locally owned with national buying power—was emphasized, along with drug-screened, background-checked installers and $2 million in general liability coverage.
The installation scope included full demolition to studs and subfloor, evaluation for rot or moisture intrusion, and installation of a new pre-sloped shower base. PEX plumbing upgrades were performed to replace aging lines, and the walls were sealed with ShowerShield commercial-grade waterproof backing. The Botticino-style Centrelle composite wall panels were installed at full height, and three corner shelves were custom-mounted in matching material. A brushed black fixture set was installed, and the glass enclosure was upgraded to a frameless sliding system mounted post-panel installation. Flooring and vanity work were also included to complete the room’s transformation.
While tile installations include a one-year limited warranty on labor and plumbing, the composite system used here is protected by a no-fine-print lifetime warranty covering all installed materials, plumbing, hardware, and workmanship. The warranty is fully transferable to future owners and includes service at no additional charge. The customer reviewed a detailed quote, with installation estimated at four to five days once materials arrived, with an expected lead time of six weeks.
