You can buy 40mm flexible waste pipe. Its not very robust to put in a cupboard but so long as its not bashed about it will be fine.
That way you can get rid of all the waste pipe including the trap & if you buy one with a compression joint on the end (or separate compression joint) it will be easy to join on the pipework after the trap.
Dont forget to loop it down to form a trap.
Good a temp repair as any.Not Again0 -

You can keep all those male pin ups and film stars, I'd rather have my very own Ormus any day :rotfl:
You do know he's Napoleon Bonaparte at the weekends, don't you?

Have removed trap & resealed,reseated. Looks like it may have been a cross thread - black rubber seal looks ok. Will see how it goes....THANKS so much to one & all.
Nearly decided- I'm gonna sell this house & buy a tent. Least I'll be able to justify all the leaks I keep getting
One step forwards & ten steps backwards ... 0 -
pipes must be inline for the seal to work 100%. any non alignment will probably cause leaks.
as been said, a flexi waste pipe is the answer. not cheap.
as a temp repair try some ptfe tape, or evostick.
dry the parts properly before using the glue.
ps
it can be a nightmare to remove at a later date. you may have to cut the damn thing off.Get some gorm.0 -
ptfe & silicone err, and put the thread on straight this time ...:j
