Scott McBride from Five Star Bath Solutions explained that composite panels are manufactured in Michigan using Centrel composite, engineered to be 100 percent waterproof, non-porous, and grout-free. Panels replicate natural stone with a 4K-rendered White Pearl finish and feature antimicrobial, scratch-resistant surfaces. Composite walls were mounted over a proprietary four-layer waterproof shower shield backing that prevents mold and water infiltration. Installation used in-house, background-checked technicians, insured up to $2 million, with no subcontractors. Five Star’s business model relies on referrals and customer satisfaction rather than large-scale advertising, keeping costs competitive and personalized.
Installation began with full demolition down to the studs, removal of the whirlpool tub and existing tile, inspection for moisture damage, and replacement of plumbing with new PEX and copper lines. A reinforced non-slip shower pan was installed, followed by custom-fit White Pearl composite wall panels. Three triangular corner shelves were installed instead of a recessed niche, and a built-in composite seat replaced the fold-down option. Delta polished chrome fixtures—handheld shower wand on an adjustable height rail and matching controls—were mounted. A brass-finish sliding glass door system was fitted, protecting the existing tile floor. Job completion, including debris removal and cleanup, took two days.
Five Star Bath Solutions provides a lifetime transferable warranty on the Smart Choice system covering all materials, parts, and workmanship for the life of the home, with no hidden exclusions. Antimicrobial, anti-crack caulking was used throughout to eliminate mold and sealing failures. Project pricing totaled $16,331 after military and social media review discounts. Flexible financing options included up to two months no-pay periods and 0 percent down. Future service issues are handled directly by Five Star, with no additional charges even if unforeseen damage is discovered during demolition.
