    How to fix the broken & uneven plastered (sand+cement) stone wall

    True, but the ones we have are Geo Panels 5mm thickness but they also need true plumb walls unless of course we put plasterboard without fixing several holes in the walls which means we would need a lot of pollyfillers :( Yes we have already considered Gyproc Drywall or Stud Adhesives with screw...

    Joining all 3 water pipes together (2 waste and 1 rain)

    Thanks for all. Both of the waste /dirty water bends from the wall are actually solvent weld. No wonder why the standard 40mm push fit pipes does not quite fit in nicely to existing protruding bends.
