Tub To Shower Conversion

Aglen St, Saint Paul, MN , 55113

The final remodel used a low-threshold walk-in base paired with seamless white composite wall panels. A molded recessed corner shelving unit was selected for streamlined storage without protrusions. Two safety grab bars were integrated, one horizontally along the back wall and another vertically placed near the shower entrance. The previously used chrome handheld showerhead was replaced with a more modern fixture in the same finish. The original tile and tub system was fully removed and replaced with bright, grout-free panels that improved both appearance and sanitation.

Ted McCann, the Five Star Bath Solutions representative, emphasized the advantages of their composite system, noting its sealed, non-porous construction designed to eliminate mold risk and simplify cleaning. He explained that all materials are custom-measured, cut, and installed by licensed in-house professionals. Ted highlighted the durability of their composite and ABS base systems and stated that their direct-from-Delta fixtures provide consistent performance, with available finishes such as brushed nickel or matte black. The company’s independent ownership under a national franchise ensures local accountability with national-grade product sourcing.

Installation included full demolition down to the studs, replacement of plumbing lines, diverter updates, new Delta fixtures, and seamless wall installation. A dry-lock backer was applied behind the composite panels, and all corners were sealed for long-term protection. Work was completed in two days, with minimal disruption and full cleanup. Ted noted that additional fixture swaps or minor add-ons could be managed during the project to streamline coordination.
