Tub To Shower Conversion

S Lupine Pl, Sioux Falls, SD , 57110

A framed fiberglass surround with molded seat and central towel bar was removed and replaced by a walk-in shower featuring a polished Calacatta-style composite wall system. The new space now includes a built-in bench, a handheld multi-spray showerhead with stainless hose, and two fixed wall-mounted shelving units. Dual chrome grab bars were installed for added support and accessibility. The upgrade also replaced the shower curtain and rod with a sliding frameless bypass glass door with top-mounted rollers for cleaner water containment and improved accessibility.

Matt, the Five Star Bath Solutions representative, introduced the Evo composite material exclusive to the company, noting its scratch-resistant, antimicrobial surface. Unlike typical liners, the entire tub and surround were removed to the studs, allowing installation of a DensShield backer board system beneath the wall panels. Matt emphasized the triple-seal containment method combining mechanical, chemical, and pressure seals to prevent leaks. The homeowner valued this custom approach and felt reassured by the company's depth of planning and open discussion of flooring and plumbing considerations.

Installation, led by the company’s in-house team of licensed specialists, was completed over two days with full demo, structural repairs, waterproofing, fixture upgrades, and cleanup. Matt explained the scheduling process included a pre-installation planning call and review of all materials before job launch. The customer expressed confidence in the streamlined communication and localized support.

Five Star Bath Solutions backs the project with a lifetime product and labor warranty, transferable once. Coverage includes installation faults and material defects such as peeling or warping. Matt emphasized that their customer-first approach ensures future repairs are resolved promptly and without added cost or technical loopholes. Assurance of follow-up documentation and accessible point-of-contact helped the customer feel secure in their decision.
