The final remodel replaced the original gold-framed enclosure with a new quarter-inch semi-frameless glass unit in brushed nickel finish. The new wall system featured a glossy white PVC composite surround with integrated corner shelving. A handheld showerhead and round fixed showerhead were installed on a two-way diverter valve. Visuals confirm that the recessed niche and fold-down teak seat described in the original review were not included in the final build. The upgraded enclosure and hardware reflect the customer’s clean and simple aesthetic preferences, and the visual improvements significantly modernized the space.
The Azura Bay finish described in the original review was not implemented. Instead, a uniform white panel system was used, eliminating any stone-textured look. No modifications were made to the existing footprint dimensions, and the knee-high wall described was not present in either before or after photos, indicating it was likely omitted from the final plan.
Michael Cole of Five Star Bath Solutions guided the customer through the Smart Choice package, featuring the exclusive 100% PVC composite Sentrel wall system. Built with six-layer antimicrobial construction, the system is designed for durability, moisture resistance, and low-maintenance upkeep. Michael outlined the company’s use of in-house installers trained at their Michigan facility, avoiding subcontractors and ensuring higher quality control throughout the process.
Installation included full removal of the old unit down to the studs, followed by moisture remediation and structural inspection. Plumbing was upgraded using PEX-B, and waterproof Shower Shield cement board was applied behind all wet areas. The shower base included a centered drain and anti-slip surface. The glass enclosure was mounted with semi-frameless brushed nickel hardware, and installation was completed in two days with a short follow-up timeline for the glass panel.
Five Star Bath Solutions extended a fully transferable lifetime warranty covering the composite wall panels, base, glass enclosure, plumbing fixtures, and labor. Multiple discounts totaling $2,000 were applied, including incentives for online feedback, military recognition, and cash payment. Final pricing was $14,697 with a 30% deposit required to begin and interest-free financing options available.
