Tub To Shower Conversion

Bridgeton Dr, Parsippany-Troy Hills, NJ , 07054

A marble-look wall system replaced the pink tile, extending from floor to ceiling including the soffit area. A low-threshold, slip-resistant shower base was installed, paired with a ceiling-mounted shower curtain rod for continued enclosure. Two corner shelves provide convenient storage while minimizing clutter. A folding teak bench was wall-mounted below the window, offering optional seating without obstructing space. Two chrome grab bars were installed—one vertical near the valve and one horizontal on the return wall—for enhanced safety and support. The original floor and vanity remain intact, preserving budget while complementing the new wall design.

Kim Etherton, the Five Star Bath Solutions representative, introduced a maintenance-free marble-style wall system with no grout lines or caulking. She highlighted the U.S.-made material’s durability and visual elegance, which complemented the customer’s desire for light, easy-to-maintain surfaces. Safety features included a textured non-slip shower base and the integration of grab bars and seating. Recommendations included compatible countertops in manmade quartz and luxury vinyl flooring with low-maintenance finishes for future phases.

Product solutions included grout-free composite wall panels with integrated quad-lock edge protection and waterproof backing. A matching shower base was installed with centered drain placement. Fixtures were updated with a chrome-finished, handheld shower system mounted beside the window. The teak bench, secured to the waterproof backer board, supports safe seating with high weight capacity. Built-in shelving eliminates the need for caddies or racks, maintaining clean sightlines. All materials were selected to support daily use with minimal maintenance.

Installation involved full tub removal, plumbing rerouting, and structural inspection behind the walls. The area was taken down to the studs, where the team assessed for damage and reinforced surfaces prior to panel installation. A bench, grab bars, and wall components were securely installed, and surfaces were sealed for moisture resistance. Trim details around the window and ceiling were matched to ensure a clean finish. Final walkthrough ensured alignment with customer expectations.

Five Star Bath Solutions extended a fully transferable lifetime warranty covering all labor and product components installed by the company. Fixtures or elements supplied by the customer would remain excluded. Financing plans were offered to support budgeting, and the U.S.-made materials offered both quality assurance and resale advantage.
