Hi, got called to a regular customer who said their shower leaks when used. Was hoping it was the tray seal. No such luck.
Where the pipe is coming out the wall it's 1.5". sort of. It's the waste from the shower. I don't have before pictures but someone had fitted a compression elbow with no nut or seal and sealed it with silicone. on this section and the lower part of the pipe joining the stack is 1.25" the compression elbow had been joined to this but with a nut and seal although not the right size.
The picture I have added is what I have done. And yes I know it's atrocious, i am limited to what I can do. Where the pipe comes out the wall you can't fit a nut and seal on it which is why someone had bodged it in the first place.
There's nothing left to cut back, the 1.25" pipe connecting to the stack is a coupling straight to an elbow so nothing to cut back.
The best part is the the 1.5" pipe must be a b and q special or similar as unable to solvent weld a fitting to it, it's too loose. I have used a horrible push fit coupling as it's the only thing that will fit, the trouble is the flexi is putting too much strain on it and moves as water goes through and has caused the push fit to come off. I didn't have faith in the repair and said to the customer let me know if any issues. Which they have now done.
Tiled floor in bathroom so no access.
I hope this makes sense. Customer doesn't care if its pretty just doesn't want it leaking.
