Thanks mate. They may just be an answer to an odd issue!

Hey guys, Removed one of those internal door closing chain devices and it's left a 125mmx25mm indentation on both the frame and the door where it once resided. I could pack the holes and fill them but wondering if there maybe is a plate of something I can get to cover them?

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

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

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.

Basin. The trap is 32mm. I had originally been trying to connect a coupler to the 1 1/4" waste pipe then the trap to it. It then dawned on me that that coupler wasn't fitting because it isn't designed to be connected straight to pipe in that way l, as was said earlier.

The grey pipe is 1 1/4". I just pulled it out of the elbow in the pic above from outside. Surely it's a case of just replacing that piece of pipe?

Hi John, jobs a goodun. Pipe came straight out. I've read that solvent welds are a far better job but for simplistity is it not just easier for me to push a new piece of pipe into that elbow?

Cheers John, gonna try that now and I'll let ya know

Here's how short I am....

Yes I've just discovered that mate I need to extend that grey drain pipe which can be easily done as I can reach outside and pull it through the wall and replace. Can anyone tell me how I disconnect this?

It seems to be fine with regards to length as the coupler or P Trap can fit on the stub, as you call it, and get right home with pipe to spare. It's just that even when it's all tightened the trap or coupler just slides right off! How can I make that stub longer? I assume it's pulling it out...

Back again to ask ya more silly questions. The grey waste is 32mm and the trap is 32mm but when tightened the trap slides straight off thus I have a leak here. In the picture you see I've added a straight coupler but the same result is had when I use the trap. The straight coupler is required...

LOL

LOL I hear ya, but outside of lifting the floor to gain access to the pipes I am looking the next best option. I think I will add a female coupler to the cistern connector to add around 50mm or so to the span of the flexi. IMO it's the best option for appearances purposes. If the floor gets...

The panel to the right is just a we 'under the basin unit' if that makes any difference for the positioning of the cold feed? I'll check out your other suggestions too for my own piece of mind. Cheers for that Rob ;) EDIT - Actually I see what ya mean about the positioning of the cold water...

The "punter" is a mate and I'm helping them out. You say it's still an eyesore without offering a better solution. I live in a new build and mine isn't much better. What would you do differently?

LOL there's sufficient play on the flexi though. The copper pipe coming up through the floor has a slight amount of play on it. What do you advise then, adding a coupler at the cistern end to add a bit of length? The 500mm flexi is far too big.

Thanks guys managed to get it all sorted. Just added a tail to the other side and centred the radiator.

Thanks mate. I know the after pic looks as if the pipe is being pulled to the left due to flexi being tight but that isn't the case. It's just the angle of the picture.
