Hi
Have been reading previous forum answers but wondered if anyone could help.
I am going to move my bath (downstairs bathroom with concrete floor) to the other side of the bathroom. The problem then is that the bath waste outlet will not be under the bath. The waste currently comes straight up out of the concrete (40mm plastic pipe) and then has a bend and the pipe linking it to the p trap under the bath.
I spoke to someone and he said that by digging out the floor and solvent cementing the new waste it would be possible to fit a bend to the existing pipe, run it the 40cm or so to where it needs to come out under the bath, then bending up again (so it emerges from the concrete) to fit the new bath waste pipe into.
Does anyone have any suggestions on this. Will solvent joining be OK on the pipes in the cement? How deep would it have to be dug down to get a fall from the old pipe to the new outlet? Would a 92 degree bend be sufficient rise from the old pipe. I thought this could then go to a 90 degree to come up from the floor then another 92 to rise to bath.
All thoughts gratefully accepted.
Oh and I'm not bothering with the soil pipe that comes out of the concrete! Just boxing in behind the toilet!!
