Johnny Romero of Five Star Bath Solutions recommended a grout-free composite wall system with a marble appearance to replicate luxury surfaces while eliminating long-term maintenance. The product's antimicrobial protection and integrated waterproof backing helped address the moisture buildup found during inspection. Johnny illustrated the damage potential of tile grout and offered an alternative that resists mildew, discoloration, and structural weakening over time. The customer chose a Calacatta-style wall design to complement the space’s transitional style.
Installation included full demolition down to the studs with moisture checks and subfloor repair, followed by custom-fit wall panel installation and a low-threshold white shower base. The new shower features an integrated recessed niche and brushed nickel handheld fixture. A new freestanding soaking tub with floor-mounted faucet was added beneath the stained-glass window, improving sightlines and space usability. The glass enclosure was omitted in favor of an open-concept shower with sloped drainage and framed edge trim. New light gray flooring was installed throughout for a seamless, water-resistant finish.
Five Star Bath Solutions provides a transferable lifetime warranty on all panels, base, labor, and sealants. Johnny emphasized the professionalism of their certified installation team, backed by insurance and active recertification. Pricing was clearly itemized to include demo, install, fixture upgrades, and cleanup, with optional vanity and accessory packages available. With promotional offers, the total for the shower and tub remodel was brought down to $11,164 from the original estimate of over $16,000.
