The remodel introduced a new white tub with a clean apron design paired with high-contrast matte black hardware. Surrounding the tub, a large-scale subway tile wall system was installed in a staggered horizontal layout. The space was enhanced with integrated corner shelving and two grab bars for increased safety. The black shower fixtures included a handheld and fixed combination on a two-way diverter valve. A new curtain rod in matching matte black complemented the finish of all metal components.
The original review mentioned interest in a walk-in tub conversion with a bench, recessed niche, and sliding glass enclosure in Calcutta Gold. However, the visual result reflects a design pivot toward a traditional tub-and-shower setup without a bench or sliding glass door. Instead of Calcutta stone-look walls, white subway-style panels were selected for a brighter contrast and easier integration with surrounding dark walls and vinyl flooring. The built-in niche mentioned in the original was also not included, replaced with open wall-mounted shelving.
Five Star Bath Solutions presented the Smart Choice package, which features a 100% PVC composite wall system built for moisture resistance, durability, and ease of cleaning using standard soap. The matte black Delta hardware system and tub were matched precisely to the updated design, showcasing modern hardware in a minimalist setup. They explained the company’s in-house trained installers, waterproof construction standards, and full-scope project control under a licensed and insured structure.
Installation included a full tear-out to the studs and subfloor, along with updates to the existing plumbing system. A waterproof Shower Shield cement backer was installed behind the wet walls before the new wall panels were applied. The entire installation was completed in three days after materials arrived, with a scheduled lead time of six to eight weeks.
Five Star Bath Solutions provided a transferable lifetime warranty covering all installed products, accessories, and workmanship. Additional guarantees included fixed pricing, no subcontractors, and full home protection during work. Final project pricing was set after applying over $2,000 in total discounts for review participation, military recognition, and check-based payment.
