Hi,
My toilet started leaking a month ago and plumber came out and found the flexipan connector had split (see first image). He fitted a new McAlpine flexipan connector and a month later it has split again (see second and third image). Plumber is saying he thinks it’s rodent damage but the failure does not have teeth marks. The plastic material has been ruptured due to tensile force. I have a degree in metallurgy so I think I can identify a tensile fracture.
I think plumber is having me on and I want him to provide a real fix. What shall I do?
