I have a leak coming from two pipes that were done by a so called plumber now its causing problems with the neighbours could anyone suggest to me a part to fix it. I was thinking of some sort of adapter that i could fit on. If you able to tell me the size of the pipes anr adapter or whatever solution that would great thanks.Pic attached above

Thanks in advance
 
Has that back to wall pan been cut ? Lol and a bent pan connector should sort you out

but not an easy job

might be best to find a different plumber
 
I suspect the white pipe is a bent (90degree) pan connector which is too short.
The end is probably only just in the soil pipe, it should have a rubber seal on it, like the below;

Looks like the grey goes under the bath?

If it's into a pushfit socket it may be possible to pull it out and fit a slightly longer piece and a the same time fit a seal onto the pan connector.

Otherwise it's the WC pan out and a longer tailed 90 degree pan connector.
Or an extension, but will still need another seal for the existing pan connector;

If the pan has been cut, it's strange that whoever did it had the skill to do that yet not the skill to make the connection watertight.

Thank you for the in depth explanation really appreciated. What size do you reckon the grey pipe is out of curiosity?
 
JOB DONE!!!! thanks all for help turned out pipe was to short and the seal was ****. Extended it and added new seal.
