Ostin Tuma, the Five Star Bath Solutions representative, walked through the company’s specialized offerings and highlighted why their maintenance-free, multi-layered composite panels would outperform traditional tile. He explained that their systems are fully waterproof with 100% antimicrobial backer boards, flat and smooth finishes that resist buildup, and commercial-grade Delta plumbing fixtures. The wall panels can be selected in various designs including realistic stone or subway tile aesthetics, with the most popular choices being easy to clean and low maintenance. Ostin clarified that their panels, bases, and accessories—including grab bars, corner shelves, and brushed nickel fixtures—are all made with durability and safety in mind. He also noted that their sliding glass doors are treated with a 15-year Invisible Shield coating for water repellency and easier cleaning, with a barn door option available for a more modern look.
The installation was a full demolition down to the studs, with mold remediation and any necessary subfloor repair included at no added cost. Plumbing lines were reconfigured, and a new 60x30 shower pan was installed. Wall panels extended to the ceiling for a seamless, watertight enclosure. Placement of accessories like the handheld unit and corner shelves was tailored to the customer's preferences. Although the full remodel scope discussed flooring, lighting, cabinetry, and vanity updates, the completed work shown focuses solely on the walk-in shower conversion.
Five Star Bath Solutions provides a fully transferable lifetime warranty covering all materials, labor, plumbing, and accessories, with no service or trip fees. Ostin emphasized that the company is locally owned and family operated in White Bear Lake—not private equity backed—which allows them to offer personalized service from consultation to installation. He explained that their installers, including his own father and brother, are highly experienced, efficient, and take pride in delivering lasting quality. The couple received multiple pricing options: a full remodel at $31,200 after $2,000 in discounts, or a shower-only package for $18,300 with opportunities to save more by adjusting panel choices. All quotes are valid for 14 days and include a flexible payment structure of either 50% down or 10% down with monthly payments. A 3% discount is offered for cash payments.
