Michael, the Five Star Bath Solutions representative, recommended expanding the footprint and upgrading to the Smart Choice PVC composite wall system for its non-porous, low-maintenance properties. Sentrel composite, exclusive to Five Star, offered durability with a clean white finish. The package included a slip-resistant shower base, reinforced seams, and backer board waterproofing. Michael outlined the importance of full demolition down to studs and subfloor to allow for inspection and mold remediation at no additional cost. Updated plumbing and a wall-mounted handheld showerhead with fixed diverter were included for accessibility.
Installation included demolition of the tub and wall tile, subfloor inspection, and new waterproof shower construction. The visual layout confirmed a centered drain, chrome hardware, and a dual-glass bypass door with handle bar support. A two-tier corner shelving system was integrated into the wall panel for practical storage. The final design featured a smooth white surface with matching trim and fixtures. Review copy previously referenced an oil-rubbed bronze diverter, but photos confirm chrome was used instead, requiring correction. Ceiling drywall work appeared incomplete in after photos but did not impact installed shower integrity.
Five Star Bath Solutions' Smart Choice package includes a fully transferable lifetime warranty covering product, labor, and fixtures. Installation was booked for a 6–8 week lead time with a one to two-day shower construction window. Remaining trim and ceiling work may have been scheduled post-glass installation. Customer received bundled discounts for military service and participation in an online review promotion, reducing total project cost to $15,000.
