Can't get the trap tightened to waste!

Sure, go for it! Just check the rubber ring inside the elbow is still there and the new pipe is a snug fit.

Thanks again mate.

I'm gonna ask you to go the extra mile for me and see if you can link me to the appropriate pipe that I need on screwfix or B&Q if you don't mind? I've been looking and all I can see are the solvent weld compatible ones.

Push fit pipe is not UV stable so you should really just replace that to where it enters the stack/drain. You're already buying the pipe, add a solvent weld elbow, a wee tub of solvent and it's all replaced in a jiffy, a guaranteed fit for the trap and it's white so it'll match the wall . Go on, you know you want to. Throw a couple of clips on the wall too and it'll even look professional

However, Wickes do 32mm waste, example 149352 although this is black. They do stock the white stuff though.

I'd love to but I have no ladders to reach up and replace the lot. I can literally only reach out the window and get a hand on that elbow.

I'll dig out my superman costume and see how the flying skills are though

Ah, not clear from the pic, sometime pics like that outside in dark can fade the ground out so didn't look at it properly .. ah erm ... well ... borrow a pair of ladders

That pic is taken from be looking down on the pipe from bathroom window. Really appreciate your valued input, both you and John
