"Bath Planet did an excellent job with a bathtub to shower conversion. It turned out better than expected with the bathroom being small and an odd shaped wall. They worked wonders to give use a beautiful shower. I highly recommend Bath Planet for all your remodeling needs."
"Great experience- requested a quote and got a response same day (this already felt like a victory since I inquired at 3 other companies and no one bothered to call back or show up!) The representative they sent out showed up on time, listened to me, and shared all my options. Nothing in the process felt pushy at all, and my husband and I got exactly what we wanted. The work was completed on time and they exceeded our expectations. I am planning to remodel our master bathroom next year and I will definitely be calling them."
"What an outstanding company, easy to work with, very professional and courteous. Very detail oriented and kept my property clean. I couldn't have picked a better vinyl siding company."
"I highly recommend Five Star Bath Solutions to anyone considering a bathroom remodel. From the very beginning, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. They took the time to understand what we wanted. The quality of the workmanship was outstanding, although they ran into a few plumbing issues which caused a delay in finishing in two days, Eric Sokol the General Manager explained the issue and he and Sal the installer worked diligently to adjust and complete the installation. At all times, Eric and Sal were courteous, respectful of my home, and paid attention to every detail. My new bathroom looks beautiful, modern, and feels like a completely new space. If you are looking for a company that provides excellent customer service, high-quality products, and dependable work, Five Star Bath Solutions is a great choice. We would absolutely use them again and confidently recommend them to family and friends. Jame & JoAnn"
"Customer service and workers were so nice and patient. Installed a whole new bathtub, shower, and vanity all within 2 days! Even came to ask me about little details that I wouldnâ t have even thought about myself. Will recommend to anyone who needs bathroom work done."
"From the initial sales call to the installation their follow-through was 100% perfect. The 2 men who installed the walk in shower were clean and did a fast/perfect installation. I highly recommend his company."
"It was great. Chris, Pete and Mike answered all of our questions, they were honest, helpful, clean and very professional. Our bathroom is beautiful thanks to them."
Tub Shower Conversion questions, answered by experts
A hard-to-turn shower handle is usually caused by corrosion or mineral buildup, which clogs the assembly and creates friction inside the valve. Remove the handle and look for signs of corrosion—rust-colored build-up—or mineral accumulation—white build-up. For corrosion, replacing the shower handle is your best bet. For mineral build-up, soak the handle in a solution of water and white vinegar (2:1) for an hour before reinstalling it.
While any bathroom remodel has a positive return on investment, an en suite bathroom can significantly increase a home’s resale value. It makes a property more enticing to buyers with families, particularly those with young children. However, keep in mind that at least one of the bathrooms should have a tub.
There are three main types of shower valves: pressure-balancing, thermostatic, and diverter. Pressure-balancing and thermostatic valves are both considered mixing valves because they regulate water flow and temperature, but they do so in different ways. A pressure-balancing valve senses changes in water pressure, such as from a flushing toilet, and adjusts the incoming hot and cold water to maintain a consistent temperature; these typically use a single knob. A thermostatic valve uses a thermostat to precisely control the water temperature and requires a separate control to adjust the water volume. A diverter valve directs the flow of water from one fixture to another, such as switching from a tub faucet to a showerhead in a tub-shower combination.
The waterproof membrane between the tiles and the wall backing in your shower area prevents water from seeping into your home's foundational structures and supports. Do not skip adding a waterproof membrane beneath the tiling in your bathroom.
Walk-in showers aren’t necessarily better. It depends on your circumstances. On the one hand, they’re more accessible—especially for people who use a wheelchair. They also take up less space than bathtubs and are ideal for small bathrooms. On the other hand, some families may need a bathtub to bathe young children and pets.
