The remodel introduced a deeper soaker-style tub installed with vertical Calabria stone-look wall panels. The wall surface extended full height on all sides, offering a modern, grout-free alternative while coordinating with the floor. The installation preserved portions of the original tile design around the room perimeter, transitioning cleanly with the new wall system. A single matte-finished corner shelf was included, along with a horizontal grab bar mounted on the new wall. An oil-rubbed bronze shower fixture with handheld extension replaced the older chrome hardware. A framed glass sliding door was added for improved water control without eliminating visual access to the updated wall system.
Jacob Rohde presented the Five Star Bath Solutions Smart Choice package, featuring a six-layer PVC wall panel bonded to an inorganic waterproof backer board. He emphasized that the materials resist mold and moisture without requiring grout, and that the matte texture was scanned from real stone to provide realistic depth. Jacob noted that the company never uses green or purple drywall, and that all materials are covered by a fully transferable lifetime warranty. The customer was reassured that decorative tile could be preserved in part through strategic wall overlay or partial panel installation.
Installation included full tear-out of the tub and lower tile as needed, plumbing updates, and precise fitment of the new 19” deep soaking tub. The layout was adjusted to fit within a tight alcove with minimal disturbance to the surrounding tile. Certified in-house installers completed the work in approximately two days, with protective coverings placed throughout the space and a full cleanup conducted at project close. Final walkthrough confirmed quality and confirmed retention of the room’s original aesthetic.
All work was covered under Five Star Bath Solutions’ Lifetime Plus Warranty for product, labor, installation, and caulking. There were no upcharges for hidden mold or damage, and all pricing remained as quoted. Additional discounts were applied through a social media review incentive and a flexible installation window, with total project savings reaching $1,250. A $100 price-match guarantee was also provided in case a lower competitor bid was found.
