Catherine Walker from Five Star Bath Solutions evaluated the space and proposed the Smart Choice composite wall system with a Calacatta-style finish, tailored for small bathroom spaces. She explained the benefits of the six-layer antibacterial composite surface over tile or acrylic options, particularly its resistance to scratching and mold. The customer chose a full-height surround with an integrated ceiling panel to conceal irregular angles and protect from future moisture exposure. A recessed niche was built into the side wall for storage, eliminating the need for external shelves.
The installation began with complete demolition down to the studs and removal of deteriorated materials at no extra cost. New waterproof Shower Shield backer panels were installed along with an upgraded white composite shower base and integrated slope for drainage. A brushed nickel handheld shower system was mounted along with a horizontal grab bar for added support. No sliding glass door was installed based on final layout decisions. The team retained the original tile flooring and base toilet fixture to preserve layout efficiency and reduce unnecessary costs.
Five Star Bath Solutions provides a full lifetime warranty on all installed components including the wall system, base, fixtures, plumbing lines, and waterproof seals. Catherine walked the homeowner through the installation timeline, which included material prep, framing review, and moisture remediation within a four-day build. The bathroom was custom-fit using physical and digital measurements, ensuring flush edges and a clean perimeter seal.
