The remodel introduced a low-threshold walk-in shower with a full-height Calacatta-style composite wall system. A matte black handheld shower system was installed with coordinated hardware throughout. The final setup includes a fold-down teak bench, two white corner shelves, and a matte black grab bar anchored directly into wall studs. The shower features a sliding frosted glass door with a black metal frame and integrated towel bar. Wall panels and hardware were updated to better suit the existing flooring and room decor. The original “Golden Beaches” finish mentioned in the review was replaced with a white marble pattern. Visuals confirm a change from brushed nickel to matte black finishes on all visible components.
Thomas Mosher from Five Star Bath Solutions recommended the Smart Choice system with six-layer antimicrobial composite panels, scratch protection, and a non-porous surface. The wall system was installed over fiberglass-reinforced waterproof backer boards with quad-lock corner seals to prevent leaks. Panels were trimmed to fit the space precisely, including adjustments around existing crown molding. All accessories were installed with secure blocking for safety and longevity.
Installation followed a full tear-out to the studs, with HEPA filtration in use during demo to contain dust. All plumbing was updated with copper lines to meet HOA requirements. The textured shower pan exceeded ADA guidelines and included slip resistance. Jobsite protection and cleanup were completed within the two-day install window. Final measurements were confirmed prior to ordering, ensuring alignment with the customer’s space and layout.
Five Star Bath Solutions backs the entire installation with a lifetime, fully transferable warranty. Coverage applies to all components including wall panels, bench, fixtures, plumbing, sealant, and doors. The marine-grade silicone used throughout prevents peeling or discoloration and eliminates the need for re-caulking. Final pricing remained fixed despite layout adjustments, with no-charge guarantees on potential unforeseen repairs. Financing was available with 0% interest for 12 months, and additional discounts applied for review participation and senior status, bringing the total cost to $18,629.
