We at Bath Expo Cleveland are excited to share the details of our recently completed full wet space renovation in Brunswick, OH, which perfectly illustrates how we transition homeowners from outdated builder-grade bathrooms to modern, high-performance environments. For this project in the Autumnwood/Hickory Ridge neighborhood, we worked with Thomas to retire a 23-year-old unit that was no longer functional, stripping the enclosure down to the studs to remediate mold and replace damaged wood before installing a robust Transolid Trimslate walk-in shower system. By pairing this custom-fit base with full-height Sentrel Frost wall surrounds, we delivered a watertight, grout-free solution that significantly upgrades the home’s safety and value while providing the low-maintenance durability our clients expect.
Living in Brunswick’s Autumnwood/Hickory Ridge area, Thomas Halter knew his 23-year-old builder-grade wet space had reached the end of its lifespan. It was outdated, stained, and no longer safe or functional—and as he looked ahead to the home’s long-term value, he knew replacing the slippery tile and grout would be a major selling point for the future.
When Thomas met Project Manager Bob Zielinski, he immediately felt confident. He described Bob as “very friendly and knowledgeable,” and appreciated how clearly the expectations, schedule, and design options were laid out. There was never any pressure—just honest guidance and solutions.
Thomas’ project included a full wet-space renovation down to the studs—complete with mold and mildew treatment, replacement of any damaged wood, and the installation of a brand-new 36” x 47” Trimslate walk-in shower system

- Sentrel Frost wall surrounds at a full 76” height
- White shower base with center drain

During installation, Ed Nixon delivered a five-star experience. Thomas praised Ed for being “polite, courteous, respectful, and incredibly knowledgeable.” Ed kept the homeowners informed every step of the way, made smart on-the-fly adjustments when an original design element didn’t work, and ensured the final setup looked intentional—never rushed.
One detail Thomas especially appreciated was that Ed didn’t just install—he consulted. He offered professional insights, helped with layout choices, and made sure everything was visually balanced and functional. The result? Thomas felt like he received more value than he even expected.
The couple also loved the weekly email updates from the office, which walked them through every step of the process. Because of the 24-hour showroom, they even made a date night out of visiting the showroom to look at samples—something Thomas said reinforced the legitimacy of the company.
Today, Thomas is thrilled with the full wet space renovation in Brunswick, OH. The new shower is modern, safe, low-maintenance, and a significant upgrade over the original builder-grade system.
