Retrofit Drain System
A Smarter Solution for Damaged Drains
Replacing a damaged shower drain can traditionally require extensive demolition—breaking out existing tile, grout, mortar, and potentially disturbing the underlying shower pan and membrane. The English Retrofit Drain System provides a faster, more efficient solution designed to permanently address cosmetic drain damage while minimizing costly and disruptive demolition.
Our system installs a new, custom-sized drain bezel directly over the existing drain using the existing grate mounting points or an approved adhesive. Optional spacers allow the system to accommodate varying elevations, making it adaptable to a wide range of existing commercial drain bases.
Once installed, new tile can be applied over the properly prepared existing surface and brought to the elevation of the new drain bezel. This allows the existing drain assembly and critical underlying components to remain in place while creating a clean, updated finished surface.
