Clay drain replacement

[chriselevate]

I had a flooring contractor level my floor today but in the process the chipped back one of the clay drains for my downstairs toilet.

Any suggestions for how I can fix it please?

It’s 100mm internal and they’ve left a gap around it so it can be fixed.

Thanks.

There are various clay to plastic converters available 150mm to 110 mm if that fits your drain.

If the contractor damaged it you might want to advise him that you will recover the cost from him.

Check there are no stray pieces of clay in the drain as they will cause a blockage when everything is running again, best to rod or flush the whole run as they could be anywhere downstream.

Thanks. The contractors were great and did a brilliant job (apart from the drain).

I can only find McAlpine DC1-BL Drain Connector - and they are black. Is that the sort it thing you meant does anyone do white do you know?

Thanks

Is this the sort of thing you are looking for https://www.screwfix.com/c/bathrooms-kitchens/pan-connectors/cat2330023

Or something like this, which is flexible height wise:

I’m tempted to try to fit a new piece that “repairs” what’s there and then use a connector when the final floor level is connect.

What do you think about fitting one of these... https://www.screwfix.com/p/mcalpine...or-straight-extension-piece-white-110mm/98788

Is there a way to fit this so that it is permanent and therefore can be screeded round?

Thanks.

How about using one of these....

Then running a bead of silicone round it (https://www.screwfix.com/p/no-nonsense-builders-silicone-clear-310ml/83710) once it’s in position, screeding round it and then cutting the pan connector down once the height is known?

Would that work ok?

As a DIYER I would want to fit a single flexible piece, cut to size as appropriate, connecting the wc pan and the clay pipe to minimise the number of joins needed.

That's fine - no need for the silicone- stuff a rag in it to stop smells.

You could just clean out the collar and mortar some plastic pipe into that.

Thanks. I’ve put a McAllen’s extension in it and self levelled round it. It went in quite deep so hopefully it’ll be ok.
