Best way to seal u-bend in waste?

martin57 · 2010-12-23 14:04:07

Hi folks, Hope everyone is keeping well in the big freeze-up. I just noticed this morning that the water wasn't draining away from the sink in the upstairs bathroom. Just checked that it wasn't dirt, but it seems the white plastic waste pipe is frozen somewhere down the waste pipe. It's definitely not at the first u-bend…

I've used silicon sealant as a bodge where the rubber was perished. That was a temporary fix until I replaced the whole assembly - it's been two years now, probably should look at it again, but it doesn't leak!

Merry Christmas!
