Pipe from bathtub cracked

[Android 07]

Good morning.

Somehow the pipe coming from my bath tub has cracked. I applied grab adhesive around it and that did not fix the issue.
Do I need to get a plumber to replace it or can I do it? As in, do I need specialist tools like a blowtorch and shrink the pipe to squeeze it in?

Solvent weld glue.

Pipe.
Add wall clips.
Easy DIY job and sort it out.

Mastic won't work for any length of time

Looks like it's cracked/broken on the joint, you may get away with wrapping some sort of waterproof tape around it, but long term the only real solution will be to replace the pipework.

Provided you can access the area safely, its not too difficult a job to do. You will need to look under the bath and undo the joint on the Bath trap, then assuming it's a straight run through the wall, pull the pipe out from the outside, and discard.

Choose which type of pipe you want to use to replace, existing is Solvent Weld, should you wish to use same again, then carefully assemble the run as required, (don't push the pipe fully home into the fitting just yet, but allow for doing so when cutting), mark positions and only Glue it once you're 100% confident as you wont get it apart again once glued!

If still unsure, come back and ask.
