The remodel kept the existing footprint but replaced all visual and functional components. Composite panels in a soft pearl stone pattern were installed along all shower walls, offering a light-reflective and neutral appearance. The previous framed glass was replaced with a frameless neo-angle enclosure using thick, clear panels with matte black hardware. The fixture system was also upgraded to a matching black Delta handheld showerhead with a square rain-style mount and modern controls. A recessed square niche was built into the wall opposite the door for hidden storage. The angled curb and existing floor tile were preserved but re-sealed for continuity.
Johnny Romero of Five Star Bath Solutions explained the advantages of their composite panel system over acrylic or tile. These panels are antimicrobial, non-porous, and grout-free, requiring minimal maintenance while delivering the appearance of real stone. He walked the customer through several light color palettes, ultimately guiding them toward a Pearl White tone that visually enlarged the space. Functional upgrades included a niche for bottles, an optional grab bar with towel capability, and a toe tester faucet to reduce temperature surprises. Layout flexibility was a priority, and Johnny reviewed swing-door versus sliding and curtain-access options before settling on the clean neo-angle frameless door.
Installation was completed in two to three days, beginning with a demo down to the studs, moisture inspection, and mold remediation. New framing and cement backer board were installed, followed by a high-performance waterproofing layer and the final paneling. All materials were custom cut and fit onsite. The new enclosure opened up visual space, complemented surrounding cabinetry, and eliminated the dated metallic finishes. Johnny emphasized his team’s experience, noting all installers had over 16 years of specialized service and passed background checks. The install team left no debris behind and ensured the room remained in use throughout the remodel.
Five Star Bath Solutions offered a dual lifetime warranty package—one for the homeowner and another transferable to the next owner. Warranty coverage included all parts, labor, mold, moisture intrusion, cracking, and staining, with the exception of glass components. Additional discounts were provided through senior savings and participation in the company’s advertising program.
