Daniel Dwyer of Five Star Bath Solutions recommended the grout-free Smart Choice system for its seamless aesthetic, antimicrobial surface, and durability. He presented full wall panels designed to simulate natural stone, customized to the space dimensions for a clean, tailored installation. Daniel clarified that while acrylic overlay was available, it was not recommended over existing tile with mold risk. Instead, full demo to the studs with waterproof backers and sealed composite walls was advised. The customer selected a light marble-patterned finish with a fixed glass panel for modern openness, chrome fixtures, two corner shelves, and a slim profile towel bar under the window.
Installation began with full removal of tile walls and mosaic floor down to the studs. Moisture-exposed sections were addressed before placing Hydro Block and DuraShield inorganic backer boards. Composite Smart Choice panels were installed floor-to-ceiling, with precision cuts around the window opening. A modern low-threshold shower base was added, paired with chrome Delta fixtures and a glass splash panel. Quad-lock corner sealing and waterproof adhesive ensured no water penetration behind the walls. The job took two days to complete, with flooring protected throughout the home and debris fully removed the same day.
Five Star Bath Solutions provided a lifetime transferable warranty on all labor, materials, and sealing. The No Surprises Guarantee protected pricing against unexpected mold or framing issues discovered during demo. Applied discounts, including 75% off labor, a $500 review incentive, and an additional personal savings. Financing flexibility was extended with a third down instead of the standard half. The homeowner valued the clarity and transparency of the process, noting appreciation for the quality of finish and practical design options.
