Hello, I am renovating my bathroom and I came across this.
This looks extremely cowboyish to me.

What can I do to get the condensate pipe into the waste pipe so it doesn't look like a bodge job.

The condensate pipe is 21.5mm and the waste pipe appears to be solvent weld 43mm.

The white 90 degree is welded to a short piece of pipe which is then pushed into the waste pipe.

Any help would be much appreciated

Get rid of those push fit wastes fittings to start with.
Switch to solvent
 
Oh dear - yes I would certainly call that a bit of a bodge. Not sure how they managed that though as that's a solvent weld elbow onto presumably a piece of ABS, that then should be too large to fit into a push fit coupler.

Anyway, ideally you would get someone in to fit it properly to ensure nothing is loosened at the boiler end when it's all getting moved about, they could then just remove the push fit, glue in a straight coupler and then fit a reducer into the elbow and secure the condi pipe properly.
 
Whole thing is a bodge, you've got a Tee allowing crossflow every time the Basin is discharged.

Needs the entire run taking out and redoing properly, with condensate correctly connected via a reducer.
