Smelly bathroom waste (Ed.)

[JoM1]

Hi - I recently had a plumber come to clean out pipes underneath bathroom sink. It was blocked but never smelly. Now it is unblocked but stinks. They say it’s not their fault. I took before and after pictures as you can see they put it back together at weird angles.. There is still a U bend but they’ve put pipes together at weird angles - could this affect air flow and hence smell? Any ideas please and many thanks

Good morning @JoM1,

This should be in the plumbing section for the best accurate answers, being a plumber I’ll answer. It looks ok to me, but the trap isn’t directly off the wash hand basin (not sink), so any smells before the trap can emanate into the room.

You wash dishes in a sink and hands in a basin.

 

[JoM1]

Yes ok thanks

So nothing to do with the way it’s been put back together this time particularly

My point is they didn’t emanate into the room before the new arrangement of pipes … is it coincidence?

Could be running too quickly as the first pipe is quite a fall.

Thanks so much this is what I was thinking I appreciate your help

How can someone who put that together call themselves a plumber. Get rid of it all and get an extendable p trap directly off the waste and a straight bit of pipe connecting to the pipe where it enters the wall.
