The Five Star Bath Solutions representative presented a grout-free wall system made of Smart Choice PVC composite, featuring high-resolution imagery designed to replicate natural stone or tile. These panels are non-porous, scratch-resistant, and treated with antimicrobial protection. Behind them, a waterproof, inorganic backer board prevents hidden mold formation. The representative explained that the surface requires only light household cleaners and never needs resealing. The selected layout included marble-style panels in a light tone to achieve a modern, low-clutter finish with chrome hardware.
Installation began with full demolition down to the studs, enabling proper inspection of potential mold and water damage. All plumbing lines in the wet area were replaced with PEX, and structural reinforcement was added behind the walls for grab bar anchoring. The new base and custom panels were installed, followed by two corner shelves, a stationary rain showerhead, and a mounted grab bar. Each element was sealed with antimicrobial silicone, and the final product aligned precisely with the customer’s desire for a sleek, safe, and maintenance-friendly space.
Five Star Bath Solutions includes a lifetime, fully transferable warranty on all materials and installation work. Coverage applies to any workmanship or product issues, with all service handled directly through the company’s local team. The use of full-time, background-checked installers eliminates the risks associated with subcontracting, and the customer was offered referral-based incentives to keep future project costs manageable.
