Hi,
The waste water pipe from the bathroom sink passes through the wall into a 90 degree bend on the external wall. Now as far as I can tell the bend is a push fit rather than a screw threaded type used on other waste water pipes at my house. Now this makes the fitting very "slim- line". However, the bend is partially "embedded" within a mortar rendering and the external "down" pipe has worked loose. I have pushed the external pipe back into the bend (tricky because it is jammed behind a vertical soil pipe). However, I don't think the pipe has fully "engaged" in the bend and I'm pretty sure it will work loose again. What's the best way to repair this permanently? I'm thinking of chipping away the morter and replacing the bend with some other fitting - but I'm not sure what to use or whether there is a much simpler way to make a good repair.
Any ideas would be most welcome.
Thanks
Clive
